I’ve always been creative.

Even when I was young I would play with makeup and do fashion looks on myself at just 13. It’s embarrassing looking back now, but I was SO inspired by it when I was young!

My older sister bought me a makeup magazine just before I finished high school. It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen and in that moment, the decision was made…

I was going to be a makeup artist.

So how did it all start?

It all began with a Diploma of Specialised Makeup, where I was juggling classes with gig after gig and getting to work with some amazing people in the industry.

My creativity was in overdrive having been thrown into the wonderful world of fashion, beauty and weddings.

In 2015 I started an incredible journey with MAC Cosmetics as a retail assistant at the busiest counter in Australia, Pitt Street Myer. Over the next five years I moved through sales and manager roles in both freestanding stores and department store counters.

Mercedes Fashion Week in Sydney was an incredible career highlight, as well as working with Fashion Journal Magazine, Her Apparel, Her Fashion Box and other local magazines and brands.

 

Let’s get creative, girl!

With years of experience working on thousands of faces, I know we can work together to achieve exactly the look you want. Whether it’s a natural look, super-glam or somewhere in between, I’ve got you covered.

People are often worried about getting a ‘cake face’ from a makeup artist and I can promise you that you’ll get none of that from me - unless of course your request it! My style is glowy, natural and breathable, with designs that will highlight your natural beauty.

Oh, and a huge focus on skincare!

I can’t wait to meet you.

I love being back in my hometown of Wollongong working in wedding makeup, formal makeup and event makeup , but also travelling to work on projects in Sydney and the Southern Highlands, South Coast and Hunter Valley regions.

They say if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life, well I’m happy to say I never have to work again!

So whether it’s makeup for your wedding, school formal, next big event (hey, even a girls night out!) I can’t wait to get creative with you.
