HI, I’M EM-J
The Best thing about being a Make-up Artist is how it makes people feel.
It is safe to say that I am a textbook empath. In 16 years of doing make-up, not only have I learnt so much about products and application, but it's also grown my emotional understanding and compassion. This naturally extends into the world of animals....after all how can an industry classed as 'beauty' have so many ugly secrets?
This is a space dedicated to help navigate you through an ocean of beauty + Lifestyle products...and hopefully help you make more ethical choices..without compromise.
After years of working on countless clients and models, I have tried thousands of products... and it is safe to say there are a LOT on the market now that work amazingly... they just happen to also be ethical
Whether you're fully fledged vegan or you're just wanting to support cruelty free brands, hopefully I have covered what you are looking for! I always thinking up ideas on what to write about and feature so feel free to comment on the blogs with your feedback or DM me on Instagram.
This blog is an open door, non judgemental place you can rely on for
My career as a
Say 'Yes' to things you didn't have in your original plan, you will end up having experiences you didn't even know were possible
From the age of 11, I knew I wanted to be a Make-up Artist. What drew me in was the special effects, the blood, the gore and the creativity. I would make my friends look pale and tired so they could skip Science class!
After collage, I launched myself into the world of Make-up. They tell you to pick one area in the Industry. If I had followed this advice I wouldn't have 90% of the life experiences I have had.
I said YES to everything from working with the Army all over the world, Marvel Movies, Heading Make-up teams for Paris fashion week, Global Body Shop Campaigns, BBC dramas, Cooking shows, Magazine front covers and a hell of a lot of weddings. This gave me experiences I will cherish forever. That's my career in a nut shell...and now here I am blogging for you beautiful people.

My Baby Berry has changed our entire sleep pattern...for the better! I doubt many parents say that. She taught me to take my sleep seriously. So I Invested in a WHOOP watch and honestly- I am in bed by 8:30 now. Here are some things that help me wind down in the evenings you might like to try.

What I'm
learning
More about nutrition. For both me and my baby. I have been facinated with Brian Johnson and implementing some of his practices into my life
What I'm
not about
