After over 15 years of doing makeup and hair I can honestly say I still get excited heading to jobs, making you look and feel beautiful is so rewarding and is what I live for as an artist. My signature look is flawless, soft glam, I create a look that makes you a better version of yourself. It’s important to me that you feel confident and beautiful when I’m finished.
My kit consists of high end cosmetics and beauty products that are cruelty free. Only using quality products ensures the looks I create are fresh and long lasting in the Brisbane climate. I have also been working towards creating a kit that is animal cruelty free by stocking vegan brands.
In addition to weddings I work alongside many photographers with clients that range between the every day woman to Pin-up models and Burlesque entertainers. This is where I get to unleash my creative side and often get requests for Vintage styles.
