Wedding ready makeup 💓
I'm thrilled to share this beautiful summer look featuring .
For a flawless base, I started with micellar water and skin food - a favorite in my kit that provides essential hydration.
Proper skin prep is crucial for a stunning makeup finish that lasts all day. Catriona's skin was a pleasure to work with! Look at her 😍

I love, love ❤️

Kushla is all set for her family photoshoot.

Family photos are the best! 💕 Make sure you look and feel your best with a custom makeup look. Book in as soon as you know your shoot date so you can relax knowing you're in good hands.

I've been honored to glam Krystal for years and I'm so thankful. For her birthday, we went from day to night with a soft glam vibe and she wasn't about to let a little rain dampen her party mood,
"let the rain fall down 🎶"
(I just had to with the song reference)

Makeup is all about enhancing your natural beauty, like bringing out the sparkle in Jeannas eyes, and glowy skin is always a bonus. What's your go-to feature to highlight? X Brydie

I was fortunate enough to be sent the new Revlon All In Tubing Mascara. *swipe to see one side with, and one side without photos 👀*

This new mascara creates lightweight 'tubes' around each lash for buildable length, volume and hold. Once applied, the glossy formulation binds to lashes and will not smudge or flake.

It gets bonus points from me because it can be removed easily with warm water.

The formula contains:

- Polymers wrap each lash to create lightweight tubes for maximum length.

- Copernica Cerrifera Wax adds shine for a glossy finish.

- Beeswax keeps lashes feeling soft.

What's great about it?

- You get lifted lashes with added length and volume, that's smudge and flake resistant!

Available in Blackest black and in Brown.

Sweet Anna
It was an honour to be part of your day as your Makeup artist.

EVOLU

I was fortunate enough to be sent two products from EVOLU Skincare, and being that my skin is extremely temperamental this winter I made sure to mention this to the lovely team, their recommendations were:
Skin Rescue Rehydration Masque $58.99
&
Skin Rescue Soothing Eye Gel
$56.99

Both products have had a positive effect on my skin without causing irritation which is rare on this face of mine.

As a professional makeup artist, I always recommend using hydration pack skincare leading up to your makeup appointments, paying close attention to your eye area if you do suffer from dehydration and fine lines as most of us do because skin moves !

The eye gel in particular really stands out to me because it absorbs well without leaving any tack on the skin and the applicator and size of the tube makes application swift and precise!

EVOLU is a New Zealand made skincare range, Cruelty Free, PH Balanced, Vegetarian Friendly and “Beegan” Friendly (cute Bees are friends)

*Important Disclaimer*
These products were gifted to me, I was not asked or expect to post about them, or recommend them, it was up to me if I tell you about them or not, and I’m not being paid $ to post, I genuinely wanted to share this with you all and hope you check them out and try them for yourself.

Much love x B

To my valued clients 💕everyone who has booked in with me over the last year has contributed to this new toy donation to the Waikids Day stay Unit / Play Specialists up at Waikato Hospital.

Each year I am grateful to be able to donate a percentage of the profit I make from doing hair and makeup.

Waikato Hospital does not get the same kind of publicity that bigger hospitals like starship (who we love) get, yet their rooms are also full with kids and caregivers who could absolutely do with a little love, a care package, a teddy to cuddle, something to distract them from some really tough realities.

Because a large percentage of these kids are immune compromised, it’s really important that the donated goods are NEW toys and not used toys, not all toys can be sanitised appropriately for some health conditions.

This year with your bookings we were able to supply, little medals🥇, cuddly toys, colouring books + colouring supply’s, bubbles, Lego, board games, creative sets, crowns, wands and butterfly wings, glow in the dark toys, remote control cars, dinosaur toys, farm animals, a deluxe Spirograph set, Looms Bracelet sets, and a few little fidget toys.

These are YOUR contributions to the kids who pass through Waikato Hospital 🏥

All my love, Brydie
