Sustainability promise 2026
My objective:
My aim is to minimise my environmental impact whilst providing an exceptional makeup and hair service. My commitment to sustain practices is paramount to respect the environment and contribute to a greener future.
Eco - Friendly Products:
I aim to use makeup and hair products that are eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and comprised of sustainable ingredients where possible. I always try to choose products with minimal packaging and those made of recycled or recyclable materials where possible. I Currently purchase kit from many cruelty free beauty brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Tarte, Elf, Genzee, Urban Decay, bare minerals, NYX, Rms Beauty and Anastasia Beverly Hills. I always buy cruelty free eyelashes from brands such as Salon System or Ardell. Both of these brands are also vegan. I also buy from some big brands that support and donate to ‘plastics for change’.
My vegan kit includes products from Genzee, peaches&Cream, NYX, Tarte and Fenty Beauty. There are all clearly labelled in my kit and I am able to offer a full vegan makeup service as of this year.
Reducing Waste:
Where possible I use reusable makeup and hair brushes that have been fully sanitised between uses. I use cotton bud sticks that are made with recyclable paper or bamboo rather than plastic. I am committed to recycling all recyclable waste, such as product containers and packaging where possible.
Energy Efficiency:
I Strive to reduce the carbon footprint by minimising travel where possible and opting for eco-friendly modes of transport, sharing with assistants or public transport when work allows. Using energy-efficient lighting and appliances where possible and always turning lighting off when leaving the room or set.
Ongoing Improvement:
My commitment to offsetting carbon emissions:
Since 2024 I have donated a Tree through ‘Just one Tree’ for each bride that I do makeup and hair for to help offset my carbon emissions.
Education and training:
I aim to stay up to date on the most sustainable practices along with keeping up to date with the latest sustainable products and practices within the makeup and hair industry. I will always try to choose products from suppliers that align with my sustainable ethos. My last course was on the 20th March 2024 with the ‘sustainable wedding alliance’.
