A little more about the woman behind the brushes. 🤍

Makeup artist, hairstylist, educator and former fashion designer.

Different creative paths, but one thing has always stayed the same — my love of individuality, beautiful craftsmanship and quality over quantity.

Around here you’ll find bridal beauty, hooded-eye techniques, products I genuinely love and a little of life in between.

If you’re new here, welcome.
I’m so glad you’ve found me. 🤍

As always credit and thanks to:

I blamed my eyes for years.

Hooded & nothing stayed put.

Turns out the tutorials weren’t all made for me.
Once I stopped fighting and started working with what I have? Everything changed.

Save this if your eyes have ever felt like the problem. 🤍

DM me EYES and I’ll tell you what actually works.

Skin-first. Always.

Fashion. Teaching. Detours. Decades of doing what I thought I should do instead of what I was made for.

But here’s the thing about going in circles — eventually, you end up exactly where you started. Just ready this time.

Save this if your path hasn’t been linear either. 🤍

Skin-first. Always.

Planning your bridal makeup but not sure where to start? 🤍

My advice? Start with what makes you feel beautiful, not what’s trending.

Your wedding makeup should feel like you.

Save this for your bridal trial.

It’s the little details for me. 🤍

With hooded eyes, eyeshadow placement and eyeliner technique can make all the difference.

Small adjustments. Beautiful results.

Remember; keep the eyes open for correct placement of eyeshadow and eyeliner & don’t pull your eye or skin up-it’ll just sit back in its natural position when you let go=not a true finish / placement of product.

Hope this helps!

Save this for your next eye-makeup application.

Oh good, you found me! 🤍

If you love makeup but hate the feeling of heavy foundation, & feeling ‘cakey’ we’re going to get along just fine.

“OMG, I actually can SEE my eye-lid!”

One of my favourite client reactions!

Eyelid taping can be a game changer for some hooded eyes, creating a more open appearance and giving makeup a little more visible space.

It’s not for everyone, but when it’s suitable, the difference can be incredible.

Follow for more hooded-eye makeup tips and techniques. 🤍

Thanks to @tinekeomahony 🤩🤍🫶

Beautiful bridal faces from a recent morning in Northern NSW. 🤍

More isn’t always better. 🤍

Beautiful makeup comes down to thoughtful placement, the right products & knowing when to stop.

Whether it’s everyday makeup or bridal, my philosophy stays the same.

Less, but better.

Follow for simple techniques and a more considered approach to beauty.

Beautiful Hannah’s bridal brief? Natural, glowy, bronzy makeup without the heaviness.

Think radiant skin, soft definition and warmth in all the right places.

Because bridal makeup doesn’t have to mean layers of coverage to look beautifully polished.

Still you. Just elevated. 🤍
My absolute favourite kind of brief and bridal makeup!!! 🤍

For the bride who wants to look like herself on her wedding day. 🤍

Beautiful skin. Soft definition. Makeup tailored to you — not a completely different face.

That’s my kind of bridal beauty.
