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.

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. day. It gives us a chance to assess your skin and features before your wedding, putting us both in the best position to create your perfect look for your wedding.

Well this hit me like a ten tonne truck! How does this saying resonate with you?
Do you feel like the quality of your art is a reflection of you as a person?

This shoot has been one of my favourite shoots ever! 🤩
The team were fabulous people, so kind and relaxed. ✌️
The location was perfect. 🥃 (@mollybarcanberra )
The styling, hair and makeup worked beautifully. ✨
Everything about this shoot just worked! 💕

I especially love that we all got to try something new and different to what we would normally do. 😁

I was always remember this day, and the wonderful people I had the pleasure of collaborating with, with gratitude and fondness. Thankyou to @thenomadcaptures and @quirky.afk for an excellent experience 🥰

I'm amazed how often I get asked this question!
One client, 10 clients, it doesn't not change the importance of the event.
I have no minimum on how many people for a booking.
If you have 5 or more people, however, there is a discount - yay!

Rising from the ashes... this is my phoenix inspired look for one of my school assessments. We were each given a season and asked to create a look representing our intepretation of that season using bodypaint.
Who wants to guess what season I had? 😂🤣 Like it's not obvious haha

I've been making a more concerted effort to document ideas I have so I can refer to them again later. The laminator is getting a mad workout 😂🤣😂🤣

Do you want fuller lips without a needle full of filler? 💋💉😬 Are you a needlephobe like me? 😳

Did you know that placing a small amount of highlight just above the cupid's bow before you apply lip colour can help with that? Also using glossy colours instead of mattes which will make you lips appear flat.
💋💄🎨

Just be careful not to put too much highlight above your lips or you might look a tad sweaty 🙂

It is unfortunate that I have to do this, but too many times have I been left chasing payments.
This takes up a lot of time and energy that as a small business owner I don't have a lot spare. I would rather put that time and energy into creating beautiful art with you. 🤩

👰 Wedding payments are due 14 days prior
💄 Online coaching and wedding trials are payment upfront/at time of booking
🎨 Other services like photoshoots, are due 48 hours prior or by agreed upon arrangements

Since bringing this policy in last year, I have only had one, maybe two, instances of late payments. So a HUGE THANKYOU to everyone for that 😘
I have seen in the local media and through talking with other businesses etc that there has been an increase in non-payment and no shows since COVID, so I thought this would be a timely reminder.

One of my favourite looks I've done is this Zombie

One of my favourite looks I've done is this Zombie with alcohol paints, scar wax and fake blood when I was studying. I had missed the lesson where we had the demonstration on how to do it so I just winged it and well... this is the result! What do you think?

Looking for a #tiptuesday ?
Hell yeah you are 🤩

This week I cannot stress enough how important usingthe right tools are.
Using a concealor precision brush to blend your eyeshadow isn't going to work. It will look streaky, sharp edges and it is just going to frustrate the crap out of you. And vice versa!
If you're using a fluffy blending brush to place your concealer in a specific and small spot, it is going to be a mess! 🤕😤😭

You've got questions, I've got answers! 😁

One of the most common questions I get asked at expos is if I am willing to travel for weddings and events.
The answer is pretty simple... Totally! Who wouldn't want to?
Granted, right now is much more difficult because of border restrictions and Miss Corona. But when not in the middle of a crippling pandemic, I am all for it!

For the Canberra area (Yass to Cooma to Braidwood roughly) it is free for travel, but beyond that there is a small travel fee.

If you're interested, hit me up for a quote and let's get talking about making your special day happen! 💍💄👰

Simple and chic! No need to go OTT with your look 😍
This is a lil' throwback to February when we were at the @yourlocalweddingguide Expo and the great news is that we will be back there in September! Woo Hoo!

Can't wait that long? All good, because we are also at @hotelkurrajong Wedding Open Day TOMORROW! 🤩 11:30 till 2:30 you can pop down to a beautiful venue with a great range of friendly wedding vendors 💍💄👰 Like me! haha

Come on down for some inspiration and to say hi! See you there ✌️

Taking these words to heart today. There is alway

Taking these words to heart today.
There is always something to learn and we shouldn't let that stop us from seeking to be better. To be ourselves. To find our purpose and live with intent.

A life lived waiting for the right moment is a life missing out on opportunity and freedom!
Stop waiting. Stop procrastinating. Get out there and try something new. Read that book you've kept on the shelf. Bust out the good kitchenware. Take a risk and get familliar with being uncomfortable... you got this!💪

This blows my mind! Ashley is more than correct (if that is possible)! As a hair and makeup artist, if you can't work on a variety of skin tones and hair textures, please seek out education to learn and grow.
I personally hadn't considered the impact of this on the models themselves, I had always just seen this "practice" as poor form, lazy and bad business. But now I see that it is also a form of discrimination.
I can't imagine the hurt, the embarrassment, the exhaustion, of being in the chair to hear these requests of a so-called professional!
If you are a hair or makeup artist and reading this, please consider how you can take this lovely model's experience to improve your practices for all the clients moving through your chair.
I will be doing the same.

Once we know better, we need to do better. There is always room to grow.

Black lives matter! Aboriginal lives matter! #blac

Black lives matter! Aboriginal lives matter! #blackouttuesday #speakup #standup #silenceisviolence
It is terrible what is happening in the US, and it is horrific that it is happening here in Australia as well. Racism is real. Systemic racism is real. Privilege is real.
Social justice requires action, not ignorance.
Social justice requires you to seek information and understanding, not to hide in silence.
I have been thinking over and over again about what I want to say about the horrible events that are too commonly swept under the rug here and there is nothing that seems adequate. But I am not going to stand by without making it known that the lives of our Aboriginal, black and POC friends and family, these lives MATTER to me.

Edited: I learned that the hashtag for blacklivesmatter is having information and facts inundated with black screens instead of getting the info out there. So i have removed the relevant hashtags to allow the dissemination of this important and crucial information via the hashtag.

Geez it is getting cold! We have some -1's and -2'

Geez it is getting cold! We have some -1's and -2's coming up in Canberra over the next week or so too! ❄️🌬⛄️ The cold can be a friendly reminder that your skincare loves the cooler temps but other parts of your face routine may not. For example, you will be able to remove the product from the tube and apply your mascara in a smoother, easier glide when the product is warm. 👀👁😍 I like to pop the tube somewhere warm (like between my arm and ribs, in my bra etc) whilst I brush my teeth and wash my face so it is nice and warm when I go to apply.
You can also run it under hot water but let us not waste water and add to bills that we don't need to. Choose the sustainable and free option of body temperature! 😁Winning! 🤩🥳🥰 ~~~

Thank You for easing restrictions! 🥰

Today I got to get back into the swing of things with the effervescent, radiant and fun, soon-to-be Mrs G 👰💍🤵 Seriously, I could hang out with this couple ALL DAY! So chill and relaxed 👌 you could tell they had a cheeky love that just brought so much warmth and laughter 🥰
I am super blessed that they allowed me to come and do her makeup for their live stream wedding today. The feeling of enhancing the stunning features she was born with was so energising for me! I feel renewed after having this opportunity this morning 😍☺️🤩 If you are looking for a makeup artist who will work with your natural beauty, not force you into a box mould, then get in touch so we can create your perfect look together. ✌️
