I grew up in eighties Essex — a time of perms, blue eyeshadow, elongated eyeliner, and enough hairspray to survive a hurricane. Makeup was fun, fearless, and unapologetically expressive… and honestly, I still think there’s something wonderful about that.
But now, for me, makeup isn’t about trying to look half my age — and definitely not about wanting to go back to my younger years. Every laughter line tells a story, every life lesson has shaped who I am, and every chapter has brought a deeper sense of confidence. Now, it’s not about turning back the clock — it’s about feeling vibrant, comfortable, and truly good in the skin I’m in.
Makeup has always been a form of self-expression for me — a little confidence boost, a creative outlet, and sometimes simply a moment of joy in the middle of a busy day. Some days it’s a bold lipstick for date night, other days it’s a soft, subtle shade for brunch with friends. I love how makeup allows us to play with different looks for different moments, while still feeling completely ourselves underneath it all.
That’s exactly why the Tenacious cosmetics range was chosen with such care. I wanted products that not only feel beautiful to wear, but also align with the values that matter most — products that are kind to the environment, cruelty-free, and powered by plant-based ingredients that gently elevate your everyday routine.
Because beauty should never come at the expense of our well-being, animals, or the planet.
So if, like me, you still love a splash of colour, a little glow, or the simple ritual of getting ready, why not explore the Tenacious cosmetics collection and have a little fun with it?
After all, confidence never goes out of style.
