Q: What's your favourite thing about being a Powderpuff Girl?
I really enjoy meeting the girls that come in and hearing where they are headed out for the day, be it a hen party, wedding day or just a girls night out! It's not your usual 9 to 5 job, I really enjoy what we do here at the Powder Room and I love the atmosphere.

Q: What is your favourite product?
At the moment I would have to say it is The Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer highlightging powder. It can be used in so many different ways and really glams up a make-up. Use it under your brow for wide awake eyes or pinch in those cheeks by using it on your cheek bones!
Mary-Lou Manizer £16.50 available at The Powder Room
Q: What is your favourite era for Hair, Make up and fashion?
My favourite era for all of these is without a doubt the 1940's. Women were finding new ways of being expressive and hairstyling played a massive part in shaping the style of the era. in 1947 Dior launched their new look range giving women the clothing for that perfect hour glass figure and make-up became very glamarous again, the perfectly shaped eyebrows of the 1940's are so flattering on any woman.

Q: Where did you go to make up school ?
I studied at West Thames College, HND Specialist make-up for theatre, fashion, film and television. it was such a fantastic course to be on. there is a big focus on period hair and make-up, we studied and practiced everything from the egyptians to the 1960's.

Q: Where is your favourite place to shop?
San Francisco's Haight street , San Jose and Santa Cruize have some of the most amazing Vintage shops I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. They have vast warehouses of the most amazing quality American vintage I have ever seen, and they are all so inexpensive. You just dont get it here anymore. Tragically I can not justify a move to California purely for the Vintage shopping... although I have tried.

Q: Who is you style icon?
Style icon is a tough one, because I think I have one for every era! but if I had to choose one I think I would say Jackie Onassis. she was such a classic beauty and her style was unfaltered.
