Imelda Ladebo
Makeup Artist/ Beauty Columnist

Imelda Ladebo joined the team in 2009 as our makeup artist and beauty columnist. A young, vibrant and passionate lady are just a few words to describe her. She has been experimenting with makeup and colours from an early age enhanced her skills and deepened her passion for it. Now 10 years on, she still loves what she does- in the past couple of years, she has worked with some of the industry’s top designers, hair stylists and make up artists and is constantly building her skills. On completion of her degree, she would go on to expand her knowledge by enrolling in one of London’s most accredited beauty & make up schools, where she aims to further enhance her present skills and diverse talent bringing forth a distinctive contribution to the industry.

“I love everything about make up, beauty and the concept of enhancing people’s natural beauty she confesses, but not just limiting myself to high fashion make-up, I’d like to explore the other side where make-up is used to create not so pretty looks (stage make-up).” Her current role as the beauty writer and make-up artist for Styleme-up.com and Side View Magazine enables her to ensure that readers are kept informed with the latest beauty trends and make up tips.

Carly Florentine
Press, PR and Events

Carly is a creative and sociable character who has found a home at the Bulb Ideas Group and on the arts and entertainment circuit of her nation's capital. After a charming childhood in the New Forest, a jaunt around Asia and Australasia as a young whippersnapper, she then opted to reside in a quaint town by the sea to study human behaviour and the meaning of life. In other words, she walked through the garden of Eden, was unconvinced and moved to Scotland. She graduated from St Andrews with an MA in Philosophy and a wealth of wisdom in the imaginative industries. Her joy in bringing people together and raising funds for worthwhile causes led to a specialisation in event management and thus organised fashion shows, art-auctions, gigs, photo-shoots and festivals to her hearts content.

Carly's optimism and honed communication skills has put her in the perfect position to be a PR poppet all her life and she is now not sure when it started or that she is doing it all. A writer by nature, she has contributed features and reviews for a variety of publications but her creative flair has also seen her work as a stylist, designer and make-up artist. Passionate about music, Carly sings, plays the harp, has managed rock bands and had a brief stint as part of a dance troupe (before admitting she is hopeless fool of a dancer).

When she is not organising parties, she may instead be found attending them (for inspiration of course) but actually with the very little free time she has, prefers nothing more than to lounge about in decadent dressing gowns with her fancy notebooks, precious pens, ideas and her one true love, Twinings tea. But until she is an expert in nigh on everything, there won't be very much rest for Carly. Her current interests are in photography and starting a band. To relax she indulges in daydreams, luxurious bubble baths, writes fairytale style poetry and befriends kittens.
