"I have worked with Claire on several occasions now and can honestly say that I wouldn't consider a shoot without her. A good make-up artist is an asset to any shoot and Claire is an excellent example. With her sense of humour, calm demeanour and professional attitude she puts any photographer and model immediately at ease.
Claire's skill with make-up is
matched only by her excellent eye for detail. Unlike
some make-up artists where the job finishes as soon
as the model gets out of the chair, Claire is
invaluable during a shoot, keeping an eye out for
little details, as well as providing her own
styling ideas throughout.
She knows just when to step in and when to step back. During one particular shoot when working with two inexperienced and nervous models, Claire's bubbly personality relaxed the models and helped prepare them for the shoot.
Always punctual, fantastic communication before and after any shoot, Claire comes highly recommended."

"Claire is a one of the girls
that in life has a professional ability that is very
had to find in the world today, she has skills that
make a photographer marvel from the time the models
goes into the make up room, and the brilliant make up
that Claire does in that time spent is just makes my
job so easy.
I had to shoot a job that was very specific
we had no margin of leeway and it something that I
was worried about, but Claire came to me and her
happy working way, she just looked at the brief and
smiled. Half and hour later the model came over to me
and was I very happy it was exactly to the brief.
Claire created the right hair style and
make up, it was just like she could read my mind. The
one thing that I marvel about this girl is that we
today use software to work photos to make them
better, but with Claire this is not needed you ask
and you will receive, nothing is a problem.
She even is able to help find items of
props, clothes, anything to help a shoot go well. I
have been in photography a long time and in my
experience I have never worked with anyone better and
more skilled."

"I initially booked Claire after being let down at the last minute by another stylist but she's always my first port of call now. Not only is she a lovely person and fun to work with, but also very good at her work. She's worked well with me to create the looks I've been after in the finished image and my clients have been thrilled with the looks she's created for them.
My clients are not used to being photographed, let alone in their lingerie, but Claire really helps to put them at ease and create a relaxed experience for them. Her speed amazes me but this is never to the detriment of quality. Claire is very attentive throughout the shoot as well, always watching for when lip-gloss needs retouching or if the hair needs adjusting once I've set a shot up.
She's fab! I'd highly recommend her."

"Had my make up done by Claire yesterday and LOVED it! The details she adds to her work upgraded the quality of my photos unbelievably and not to mention my confidence with my smokey new look. I did not want to take my make up off but had to accept defeat at bed time. On a personal note, great girl, easy going and a pleasure to work with."
