"I love colour and I love makeup. My idea was to combine the two to create something light hearted and fun but with meaning behind it. This image book has been a fun way for me to express my individuality as a makeup artist and a creative director as I have been able to express myself through every step of the process. From the makeup designing to the prop buying to directing the shoots." - Emma Cooke
