I mean, she also likes Meatloaf (singer) so we obviously got along well 😂🤣

Are you getting married or have a big event coming up? I can help you get glammed up in a way that stays true to who you are.
DM me and we will get the ball rolling for you ✌️

I'm a bit of a nerd, a bit of a geek, a lil' weird, and a lil' out of this world 🧙‍♀️🦹‍♀️🧜‍♀️ I make no apologies about it 😁
I was super pumped when we got our final assessment for makeup school which was a prosthetic nose and we had to create our own character around it. 👃

I've come a long way since 2017 with my prosthetics (thankfully haha) but the love of creating characters has not dwindled 😍 It's one of the reasons I love doing makeup and costuming so much - you can create literally anything that you imagine!

Do you know what you want to do for Halloween this year? Hit me up and we can create your perfect Halloween character for 2020 together 🧛‍♂️🧟🧚‍♂️ Jump on it now before I get booked up ☺️

😍😍😍 I cannot deal!!! 🤩🤩🤩
This shoot with Kahlie and @germa_ne was absolutely brilliant! Everyone involved was super fun, easy-going and an expert at their part of the vision!

There will be more coming soon but I just had to share this one with you now... Isn't the whole look stunning???

Moments like this make me so grateful to do what I do 🥰 great people, great vibes and great results 🙌🙌

What a fabulous day this was! 😍🥳💛

I find that Mums can have a tendency to put their kids first to the detriment of themselves. Now to be clear, I am not saying to ignore your kids and live a selfish life - oh my goodness no!
But i do believe that to be a better parent you need to ensure that you take time for you! Recharge your batteries and embrace the things you love. Be the example to your kids to show them that it is ok to say "I need me time".

This day was fabulous because this stunning woman was a mother of 2 (now 3), and had always loved the vintage vibe but didn't think she could pull it off.
We had a styling session together and together we found her the perfect dress and cardi set that let her embrace her love for that era, as well as stay true to her easy-going, fun-loving, and brilliantly witty self.
When she tried the dress on it wasn't a feeling of "oh, I don't know..." it was a resounding "YES! I feel AH-MAY-ZING!" (cue the immediate twirling and smile from ear to ear.)

When you've been trekking around cleaning up after the kids, making sure they don't kill each other, getting their learning in for the day, playing activities and sport with them, feeding them so they don't die... after all this (and more!) you deserve to feel AH-MAY-ZING!

If you're feeling ho-hum in your clothes and want a pick-me-up, DM me for a style quickie and we can get you on track to owning how you look and how you feel 💛💛 There's no better time than the present to make a change 😁🥰

Tired eyes? What about puffiness? Are your eyes on

Tired eyes? What about puffiness? Are your eyes on the smaller side?👀
You can add life to your look, reduce the perception of puffiness, and add depth and dimension by connecting your eyeshadow both underneath your eye, and on your eyelid. 👁

This is a common mistake I see people do where they only apply eyeshadow on their eyelid on top of their eyes, instead of around their eyes - like a hug. 🤗
I've had clients that were very reserved about trying this and thought it looked silly... until we put mascara on the lower lashes! Then they loved it! 😍

It's a really simple and quick way to take your look from average to gorgeous, and it is with products you are already using. 🥳

Give it a try and let me know how you go 😁

I'm making a move for mental health this October.

I'm making a move for mental health this October. 🚶‍♀️💃🏋️‍♀️

If the youth are our future we need to help them get there!
The world has changed ALOT since I was a teenager, but it has changed drastically in the past 12 months. I can't imagine the pressures, confusion, and stress that the youth of today are under. 🤯🥺😖

I've set a goal of raising $1000 to go towards helping @reachout_aus provide young people with the support they need to be happy and well. 🤝🙌👏

Just like you never know the difference a smile can make to someone's day, you don't know the immense difference a dollar can make to providing youth the services they need to make it through. 😁💵☀️

I am aiming to raise $1000 for moving 60 minutes minimum each day of October. I would love it if you could join me in support the youth of today by throwing in a few coppers to help. 🙏🤸‍♀️💰

Your contribution to tackling youth mental health is appreciated, Thank you! 🥰😁😍

How beautiful is this dark coloured lip? 😍💋🖤

Not all dark lip colours are made equal so it is important that you work a dark lip to suit your features and your colouring. If done wrong... it can be disastrous! 😱
It can cause your lips to look thinner, unbalanced, or super obvious (in a bad way - like a train wreck).
Done right and it can help you look sultry, confident, and enhance the inherent beauty you have. 🥰

Not sure how to do it? Hit me up for a Makeup Quickie in the DM's and we can get you sorted without you having to leave the house! Winning!

When you apply eyeliner, do you drag it across you

When you apply eyeliner, do you drag it across your lashline? 🤔
I ask because dragging it can be the problem in creating a clean, crisp line. 😬

So lets fix that! Woo! 🤩

If you use a gel or liquid liner, try pressing it into place with a flat or angled eyeliner brush. The bristles should be compact and synthetic, but short and sturdy. Pressing it into place will also give you more control and precision on the placement of the product.

If you use pencil or felt liners, try keeping your lashline tight with your other hand to avoid bumps from your skin folding and bunching in on itself as you draw the line.

Attending a wedding today as a guest! Not the make

Attending a wedding today as a guest! Not the makeup artist 😱
Just makes me think about my own wedding last year and how we got to celebrate our own way and with the people we love to spend time with 🥰

I think it is so important that your wedding day reflects you and your partner, so if that means having bright hair, 2 tiaras and making your dress... DO IT! 😁 (Just be prepared to feeling very tired after haha)

How far in advance is too far, and how close is too close?

Some brides like to use their trials for a special day, like a birthday party or going out for dinner.
Most brides like to keep their look under wraps until the big day (except for the bridesmaids fo course).

I would ask that whichever you choose, bear in mind that a lot can change between your trial and your wedding. Ideally, 1 - 2 months out from your wedding is a safe timeframe, as well as allowing time to ensure that the right products and skincare are prepared for you.

I am hands down going through hair withdrawals at the moment 🤣😂

This is about a year ago when I played around with some yellows and orange colours as opposed to my normal aqua/teal and blue.
I tend to like it for about a day then end up back in the cool tones haha

For some work in progress... I've been playing around with wigs recently 😁 I dyed this one and am in love with the pastel blue and pink colour combo 🥰 also had to test staying power once the wig was on... Huge thanks to my husband for whipping his hair back and forth 🤣😂🤣😂

Have you tried magnetic eyeliner for false lashes?

Have you tried magnetic eyeliner for false lashes?

I have been wary of it for so long but a friend of mine finally convinced me to try it. The verdict?

✅ Yes - application of the lashes is a bucket load easier
✅ Yes - I didn't get transfer of liner product on my eyelid when I opened my eyes.
❌ No - the product did not last long. 3 to 4 hours and it started to come off. The magnet wouldn't hold
❌ No - the removal was much more difficult than normal liner and quite harsh for around the eye area (possible factor to pre-mature ageing)
⏸️ Unsure - I got 2 pairs and one pair the lashes were so short the didn't even extend past my own real lashes. The other pair (pictured) were giant for a date night look. They were touching my eyebrow!
⏸️ Unsure - the liner was a little fumy for about 5 seconds and did take a little time to dry. Neither were unreasonable or uncomfortable. Just inconvenient. If you have sensitive eyes the fumes might be too much.

Overall: would use again for a special occasion, but definately not regular use. 🙂

Also... How much has my hair grown in 5 months... It is floppy enough to touch my forehead haha

Trials are so important to making sure that your day goes your way. They are also important for your makeup artist to get familiar with your unique beauty.

Brides often come with pictures of makeup ideas they like, but that doesn't mean that those looks are suitable for their eye shape, their bone structure, their colouring, their lip shape, their personality and vibe.
There are a lot of factors that go into creating a flattering look for you and a trial is an opportunity for us to look at working through ideas that may not suit and experimenting with ideas that will so you can have complete confidence on your wedding day that you are gorgeous as the natural beauty that you are.
