Skin-first makeup ✨

Every makeup begins with a skin analysis so I can choose the right products for your skin type.

Sometimes I will be focusing on hydration to create a glowing skin application or working on oil-control for a long lasting finish. Whether you prefer a dewy, satin finish or more matte, fuller coverage look, I build layers to enhance your natural features, aiming to look your best in person and on camera.

For me beautiful makeup isn't always about applying more, it's about wearing the right amount for you and that varies person to person. My goal is to help you feel the best version of yourself, and comfortable in your own skin.

Sarah ✨

For Sarah's wedding at Bendooley Estate, we created a romantic textured low upstyle paired with soft glam bridal makeup that enhanced her features naturally without feeling overdone.

Aiming to create a look that suits your individual features, personal style and of course the dress!

Lauren 🤍

Such a pleasure to take care of Lauren, doing hair and makeup for herself, Mum and Mother-in-law. Such a calm, beautiful morning with her family.

There was a little hiccup while getting into the dress, the hook and eye popped on the back of the dress, thankfully everyone came together to help - someone had a needle and thread, another sacrificed a hook and eye from a different outfit, and Dad sewed the dress back together - go Dad!

A beautiful reminder that things may not always go perfectly but if you have your loved ones surrounding you with love, support and care that's all that really matters.

For the beautiful Mamas 🤍

It’s always an honour to take care of the Mums on a wedding morning.

Often Mums arrive feeling a little nervous about having their makeup done, with the most common request.. “I don’t want to look overdone”, perhaps a throwback to having their makeup done in the 80’s and 90’s!

Mum’s can also feel very emotional, usually tears at some stage of the day, so I always take extra time to help Mums feel calm, comfortable and still like themselves… just a little more radiant ✨

Some new makeup additions to my kit 🤍

I’ve been exploring more products from .beauty, a truly clean beauty brand in every sense, from thoughtfully chosen ingredients to sustainable packaging.

Day to day, I’m not one to wear a lot of makeup, but when I do, I like products that support the skin and feel good to wear. I’m always mindful of ingredients and try to avoid silicones where possible. While silicones aren’t considered toxic, they can create a more occlusive layer on the skin and they’re also a form of microplastic, which isn’t ideal for the environment.

This foundation feels like skincare, with the most beautiful skin-like finish. It’s gentle and non-irritating, which is something I value not only for myself but also for my sensitive skin clients.

These little pots of goodness are designed to be mixed and customised. The foundation doubles as concealer, the blush/lip pots are made to blend together, and the eye creams can also be used as eyeliner or brow definition. Meaning less products and less packaging 🌿
