MothWorks

Last April I had the joy of creating the makeup looks and photographing for Gabriela Charlotte’s reimagined saree collection - a celebration of beauty, sustainability, and timeless design.

Each piece was crafted from preloved sarees, transformed into elegant, modern garments. To complement them, I created soft yet striking looks: glowing skin, defined features, and natural hair styling that highlighted both the fabrics and the wearer.

As a makeup artist since 2018, my focus has always been on details - from flawless bridal beauty to creative editorial direction. This project brought together everything I love: artistry, sustainability, and storytelling through a beautiful collaboration.

Bridal Contrast | A Bold Lip in Soft Surroundings

This bridal look plays in contrast - a vibrant, red-toned lip set against luminous skin and barely-there tones elsewhere. The result is equal parts romantic and modern, allowing personality to come forward without overpowering the softness of the gown.

The skin was prepped to glow, with warmth placed through the cheeks and eyes to support the lip without competing with it. Hair was styled simply to echo the structure of the dress - elegant, precise, and quietly confident.

A Study in Balance: Hair & Makeup for Gabriela Charlotte

Created in collaboration with designer , this shoot explored strength through structure and softness - with sculptural garments that invited a refined, minimal beauty approach.

MothWorks focused on clean, polished skin, defined brows, and tonal details to complement the thoughtful textures and silhouettes. Hair was kept grounded and unfussy - pulled back or left natural to allow the garments to hold presence.

A quiet, considered shoot with an exceptional team behind the lens and in front of it.

I like to share and the work of others, people I have had the pleasure of working with.

Roy At Firsthouseand I have known each other for many years! Working with him is a breeze, he is excited about every brief and is conscious of every models individual insecurities. He makes you feel at ease, is encouraging and is able to adapt when the weather is more than expected!

I am not a model but I am all about personally putting myself in front of the camera, in the the makeup artists chair or on a tiny walkway as the tide comes in and waves crash before I put anyone else in that position.

This is one of my favorite shots from the set, the are with the movement of the dress in the howling wind!

Revisiting this impromptu shoot from December 2018.

An opportunity for me to shoot my Sadie Bosworth Atelier in a more setting with Roy At Firsthouse
The Rosemary Gown is available for hire at Fate And Love in Cape Town.
