My mission is to make beauty beautiful. I am proud to be the only studio in this area that is completely vegan, cruelty-free and eco friendly.

Yep, I know what you’re thinking... another makeup artist. The term MUA is used so frequently these days that it’s lost it’s meaning. I’ve even seen 13 year old school girls refer to themselves as an MUA on Instagram and I often joke, if I can change the wheel on my car, does that make me a mechanic?!

To be a successful artist, you must know your canvas and adapt your style accordingly. I constantly strive to create innovative, tailored and wearable looks, suitable to the individual at any age. I started my career in 2007, having spent the majority of it working alongside the industries leading artists, as well as on the red carpet, runway and celebrities, with work featured in beauty, fashion and bridal magazines. As I got older I found myself asking 'Why am I doing this? What next? What does it all mean?' ...it was then I realised, the reason I love makeup so much is because I loved seeing how it made women feel.

Feeling good and having confidence in yourself can literally change your life, which is why I decided to open my own studio, offering makeup and brow treatments that are aimed at flattering and enhancing your individual and existing beauty. My philosophy is that makeup should enhance your natural beauty and leave you feeling and looking your absolute best.

With that In mind, it then made me realise how contradictory the beauty industry can be. We want to look and feel our best, but at what cost? It’s so important now, more then ever, to be more mindful of ourselves, others and our planet. Unfortunately, the more you dig into the beauty industry, the uglier it seems. In 2020, a lot of beauty products are still tested on animals, something a lot of my friends and clients didn't realise. It’s cruel, barbaric and unnecessary, which makes it so ironic that we call it the ‘beauty’ industry. At LR Pro Studio, I refuse to endorse or support cruelty... my mission is to 'make beauty beautiful'. I am proud to be the only studio in this area that is completely vegan, crueltyfree and eco-friendly. I offer makeup services, brow lamination, microblading and lashes... treatments that will leave you feeling your best as well as leaving a greener footprint.
