What sleeve tattoo???

At a recent TVC job I was required to do a half sleeve tattoo cover on our male talent…on these productions the makeup needs to be done quickly whilst also being good (time is 💸), and tattoo coverage is neither easy or quick because it requires colour correction first, and then foundation coverage, all without looking unnatural.

I love a challenge and having never done this before I was pretty chuffed with the results. Funnily enough, this process convinced the cast that he really wanted to go ahead with laser removal 🏆

I am super excited to share that I am a Finalist in the 2020 Northern Beaches Local Business Awards. 🥳

A MASSIVE Thank You to all who took time to nominate me. I am so humbled to have been selected as a Finalist from the thousands of nominations received from the local community.

This news could not have come at a better time. So far 2020 has been challenging year for all of us, so this Award is a nice reminder of the passion I have for this industry.

😘😘😘😘😘😘

One of my lovely clients contacted me to let me know that she had nominated me for a Local Business Award 💞

It means the WORLD to me when you re-book, tag me, refer me and share my work. I hate to blow my own trumpet but feel it's something I need to be better at😬 So, I thought I would share the link in case you wanted to vote for me (or any other business for that matter) 😘

COVID19.....Not a pretty post, but an important one.
I want to assure you all that my kit is routinely cleaned, and before and after each client and/or product use. COVID19 or otherwise.
To give you a rough idea of my processes after each use:
* Pencils are sharpened and sprayed with anti-bac spray,
* Brushes are washed with Sard anti-bac soap and then sprayed with 90% alcohol brush cleaner between each client/job so no one uses the same brush,
* Stick foundations and lipsticks sprayed with anti-bac solutions.
* Powder-based palettes are sprayed with sanitiser after use to kill any germs.
* My hands and kit are washed and sanitised and nothing is double dipped.
*Generally, I ask you to all BYO lipstick anyway, as you need this for touch-ups.
These have ALWAYS been my practices but I want you all to feel comfortable with what I do.
If you have an appointment with me during this time, I will let you know as soon as I can if I am unwell and ask that you do the same by me. We all have people in our lives (I personally still have my grandmother around) that I want to protect them from this horrid virus.
