Makeup for the cover, the camera and the campaign

I’m Rhona, an award-winning makeup artist and educator based in Lucan, Dublin. My work spans magazine shoots, television, celebrity appearances and bridal makeup.

I’m available for editorial and commercial shoots, celebrity appearances, on-camera beauty demonstrations and product promotion. I work with production teams, stylists and brands to develop looks that suit the person, the brief and the lighting on set.

Bridal makeup & wedding ceremonies

For over 33 years, I’ve worked with brides to create makeup that feels like them and photographs beautifully. We’ll talk through what you usually wear, what feels comfortable and how you’d like to look on the day.

I’m also a registered wedding celebrant and solemniser. I offer combined packages for couples who’d like me to do the bridal makeup and lead their ceremony.

Online makeup course for women over 40

If you’ve been doing your makeup the same way for years and it suddenly feels like none of it sits quite right, I know the feeling. There’s a new trend every week, and it can be hard to know which techniques are worth trying on your own face.

I demonstrate each technique on my own over-50 skin. You’ll see where I place foundation, concealer, blush and eye makeup, how I adjust for changes in skin texture and eye shape, and how to use what you already have to put together an everyday routine.
