There are some days when popping on some lipgloss and mascara, and throwing your hair up in a messy bun are enough. There are others where you want to look like a supermodel and turn heads. But one thing is for sure, makeup is always going to boost your mood no matter how much or little you’re wearing.
As a multi-award winning professional makeup artist with over 25 years of experience, I’m a big believer that every woman deserves to look and feel their best every day.
When I first started as a makeup artist, I discovered that many women felt confused and overwhelmed when it came to makeup and were often too embarrassed to ask. They hadn’t grown up around makeup, so they didn’t know if they were applying makeup correctly (if they even wore it!) or what colours or products suited them.
It became my mission to empower women on the art of makeup; to help them learn the ‘why’ of makeup so they could enjoy it and feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
My Brisbane-based makeup lessons provide personal attention, answer your questions, and teach you the right techniques. You'll also learn how to apply makeup correctly and discover the best colours and textures for your skin type.
For a fun day out, book a group makeup lesson, or if you prefer one-on-one attention, my private makeup lesson are available if you’d prefer to have individual attention and a safe environment to ask your makeup questions.
