Tributes have been paid to Sunday Mail beauty editor Craig Alexander Wilson, who died yesterday aged 38.

His column, which he wrote for 16 years, made him one of Scotland’s most respected make-up experts.

Craig, of Drongan, Ayrshire, died after a short illness in the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank surrounded by family, including partner Will Raeburn, parents Alex and Carine and brother Greig.

He worked with stars including Amy Macdonald, Atomic Kitten and design duo Colin and Justin.

Craig also wrote for OK Magazine and appeared on BBC and Channel 4.

He was a contestant on reality TV show Come Dine with Me and, for several years, ran Wilson & Wilson beauty salon in Prestwick with Greig.

His friend Sunday Mail magazines editor Mickey McMonagle said: “Craig was one of the kindest, happiest, compassionate people I’ve had the privilege to know.”

Sunday Mail editor Brendan McGinty said: “Craig will be missed by Sunday Mail readers and by everyone who knew him.”

■At the request of his family, Craig’s final column is in Seven Days magazine today.
