Hello, I’m Deirdre.
I’m a bit older - so I have seen it all! Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1968 and have been doing makeup for 35+ years. I’m also currently studying my Bachelor of Social Work part-time.
I am truly passionate about making people feel their best, relaxed, comfortable, safe and special. A lot of my feedback is that I actually LISTEN to what people want and make them feel safe in my hands.
Being part of someones day and with them creating special memories is humbling. I feel privileged and honoured to be part of people’s special events.
