With a diploma in Fashion and Photographic Make-up behind her, Charlotte's skill has landed her work on Top Model UK (2013) and numerous photo shoots.

Charlotte is an official make-up artist for FashionSistas. She works on set for their V.I.P services, at their photo-shoots and she is part of a team scheduled to create looks for models at a massive Prince's Trust show during London Fashion Week.

This wonderful artist also works on projects in the community. One of those causes benefits Help for Heroes - Charlotte expands:

"I have been asked by a photographer I worked with a few times previously, if I would give up my time to be a part of different fundraisers to help gain publicity for a 2015 calendar.

"All the models will have links to the armed forces and I will be doing the makeup on the shoots. The style of the calendar is Vintage pin-up, so lots of 40's and 50's looks. Very exciting and for such a worthwhile cause – we are aiming to raise over £2000".

We also asked Charlotte to tell us more about a moving post she wrote on Facebook about uplifting women diagnosed with cancer with make-up sessions:

"I also give up my time (just a few hours each month) for something called 'Look Good... Feel Better' which is the Beauty Industries charity. We go and teach the most incredibly brave ladies with cancer/recovering from the awful illness how to do their makeup and look after their skin. It is so worthwhile and I couldn't think of anything better to do with my time".

We love the variety that Charlotte creates for her shoots, such as In The Wild (pictured top), and the tribal look she created pictured below.

They show just how bold and versatile she can be.

We think her work displays a certain je ne sais quoi that is edgy, subtle and perfect.

It's not just the charitable causes and FashionSistas events keeping her busy up and down the country - she will also be working with an award-winning stylist from the west Midlands on up-and-coming fashions shows -so book this busy woman when you can!

She enjoys creating stunning make-up looks to enhance natural beauty whether it's for fashion, vintage, bridal or for  all occasions.

Visit her business page here to keep up with Charlotte's top products and to feel inspired by lots of feel good anecdotes she shares. Plus she posts some really creative experimental shots that will have you mesmerised.

We vouch for her ourselves - she was the MUA for A.C's V.I.P session at FashionSistas which you can read about (and see more photos) here.
