Award-Winning & Cruelty-Free Make Up Artist
Hey! I'm Sali Jones, aka Ms Moo Make Up. I'm a multi award-winning cruelty-free freelance professional make-up artist with over 13 years of experience. I'm based in Nottingham, but I'm happy to travel across the UK to wherever you need me, though the majority of my work is based in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire.
Here you will find information about how to book me for your wedding make-up, a one-to-one makeup lesson or a special occasion makeover. You'll see all the fashion and editorial photoshoots I've been involved with, some behind-the-scenes photos and updates on my blog. Whatever your makeup needs, I can help.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Christmas Beauty Gift Ideas 2024
We are all feeling the cost of living the last 18-24 months, and no more so than at Christmas! So I'm back again with my Christmas Gift guide for all beauty lovers, but breaking it down into price guides and aiming more at the great stocking fillers.
Under a tenner
The Body Shop Vitamin E Sheet Mask - £6.00
I love this vitamin E mask. Suitable for all skin times, it hydrates the skin intensely for around 24 hours and leaves your skin feeling super soft. Top tip - keep one in the fridge for when you need perking up! The cold feels flippin' lovely when you've been rushing round like a nutter or after a super hot shower/bath.
The only cotton buds you'll ever need again! Brilliant for the eco-concious, as the silicone swabs are washable. Four different ends too, depending on what you need it for.
Caroline Hirons - Skincare; the no nonsense guide book - £8.99
Fab book for teens or adults wanting to learn more about skincare, what does what, and what's really needed to look after your skin! Funny and straight talking, it's a great read for all.
The Inkey List - Hydrocollid Invisable Patches - £6.75
These have been a life saver for me this year. Pop them over a spot that's coming up (you know those ones under the surface that feel like hell is going to erupt), day or night, and it'll stop you physically touching it but it'll also allow the Hydrocolloid and Salisylic acid get to work on nuking the spot. It'll withdraw all the gunk inside it so you can peel it off, clean the area and reapply a new one if you're a picker/toucher.
Under £30.00
VE Cosmetics - The Lovers eyeshadow palette; Limited Edition! - £20.00
There's probably not going to be many of these left now they are reduced from £30.00 to £20.00, but the colours at phenomenal. If you love a little colour in your eyeshadow or want to start experiementing with some, this palette is the one to get. I love VE Cosmetics, and you should too - they are a 'small' brand who're really on the up without compromising their ethics and integrity. Get 10% off using my code, MSMOO.
Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Mini Lip Kit - £29.00
A mini of the iconic Pillow Talk lipstick, matching lip liner, and collagen lip bath. The lipstick is beautiful and suits 90% of people I've put it on! The collagen lip bath is a great gloss too, and really feels like it's doing something good to your lips when you're wearing it. If you're a new customer, use my code "msmoomakeupFA4HF" to give yourself 15% off.
Ms Moo Make Up - Bridal Eyes II eyeshadow palette - £21.00
Reduced down from £28.00 to £21.00, I'd be a daftie not to include my very own vegan and cruelty-free eyeshadow palette. Buttery eyeshadows in a mix of shimmer and matte, with my signature hot pink! The price includes UK postage too. Winner!
Real Techniques eyeshadow brush set - £13.00
Often reduced down from the price of £19.99, this eyeshadow brush set is one I'll buy again and again. All synthethic brushes so no nasty animal hairs are used, and the quality is FANTASTIC.
Under £60.00
The Body Shop Nourish & Flourish Mango Big Gift Bag - £40.00
This looks so lush, I'm hoping for one of these myself! I'm always complimented on my mango hand gel when I'm doing people's makeup which they sadly don't do anymore, even though I bought shit loads of it! This pack includes a mango shower gel, body butter, body mist, hand balm, and floofy bath lily for body scrubbing. Flippin' perfect! There's a coconut version or shea butter version if you're not a mango fan.
Charlotte Tilbury - Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek set - £46.00
A little pricier than the lip kit I previously mentioned, but if your budget stretches, I'd get this one. The Plumpgasm has a lush feeling on your lips and the beauty light wand is pretty iconic for makeup lovers everywhere. It gives a super soft illuminating colour to your skin. If you're a new customer, use my code "msmoomakeupFA4HF" to give yourself 15% off.
Illamasqua Define and Shimmer Kit - £52.13
This little trio doesn't often come up as a set, so I was quite surprised to see this listing on Look Fantastic. I use the Beyond Primer very similarly the Flawless Filter, but sparingly as it's so shimmery. The OMG highlighter is one I recommend to loads of people - it comes up the most lovely golden colour, and then the Silhouette contour combines perfectly. Such a good combo, snap it up!
Urban Decay's Limited Edition Naked eyeshadow palette revival - £55.00
Let me tell you that makeup artists everywhere rejoiced at the news UD were bringing this eyeshadow palette back. A gorgeous iconic neutral palette with soft shadows, perfect for bridesmaids everywhere and a staple in my kit with how easy it is to blend. I'm so pleased it's back, even if it's not for a long while!
Over £60.00
REN Clean Skincare The Party Trio - £64.80
Another Look Fantastic exclusive, making all three hard hitting items from REN Skincare £64.80 instead of £108.00! INCREDIBLE PRICE. I flippin' love this eye cream and glow tonic. The jelly cleanser removes ALL makeup, super easily and is your one stop shop for removing makeup super easily. Grab a reuseable face pad and let it melt away your face! The tonic is exfoliating leaving your skin looking refreshed and bright, and the eye cream helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
Hourglass & Barneys New York - Ambient Lighting Edit - £93.00
I spoke about these Hourglass palettes recently on my newsletter (sign up at the bottom of here!) and how much I love them. They are the most amount of money I've ever spent on a single makeup item. But just look at those colours! They are buttery to apply too, and give the most beautiful finish on all skin tones. If you love glow; you'll love this!
Charlotte Tilbury's 12 Door Beauty Advent Calendar - £170.00
I'm not one for a lot of beauty advent calendars, mostly as I can't often find ones that are entirely cruelty-free! But this one is, and I'm 100% here for it! So many beautiful items, and at such a great price. If you were to purchase them all individually, you'd be paying £290.00. So grab this while it's available and treat yourself! If you're a new customer, use my code "msmoomakeupFA4HF" to give yourself 15% off.
Ms Moo Make Up 1-2-1 Make Up Lesson - £185.00
I couldn't do this gift guide without telling you about my 1-2-1 lessons! Got all the gear but no idea? Want to revamp your makeup look but no idea where to start? Grab yourself a voucher for a 1-2-1 makeup lesson with me! Bring your makeup bag to me and we'll go through the good, the bad, and the ugly. We'll go through what skills you've already got and 'brush up' on new application tips and product recommendations I can give you that are tailored to you. All vouchers will be valid until 1 July 2025 if bought before the end of 2024.
