If I could tell this little girl one thing, it would be that she’ll find her place.

School didn’t make me feel particularly capable. I had a creative side that was desperate to come out, but I didn’t know where it belonged. Looking back, I wish I’d understood that being good at school and having something to offer the world aren’t the same thing.

While I was collecting homemade face-mask recipes from magazines and becoming obsessed with makeup, I was already finding my way.

And 38 years later, I’m still following it.

Beauty has never just been a job for me. I’ve wanted to explore every part of it: skin, makeup, working with clients, educating, film, fashion and TV. Through Look Good Feel Better, I’ve helped women going through cancer treatment with their makeup. And my nine years with MECCA have given me the everyday pleasure of helping women and teens find products and techniques that make them feel good.

Over the years, there have been people who have called it “more of a hobby than a career”. Perhaps because there’s no nine-to-five, no fixed salary, and some seasons are busier than others. But the work, the skill and the commitment have always been there. I’m proud of what I’ve built, even if I haven’t always given myself enough credit for it.

And yes, I still get imposter syndrome. I still wonder whether I’m good enough. I suspect some of that will always be with me. But I keep learning, putting myself forward and doing the work because I love it.

This Wednesday, I get to share that love of beauty alongside @simoneaspinallmakeup (at our 6th Kerrie x Simone event) who I absolutely adore. We’ve been friends since she was 16 as a young apprentice and I was 24. She’s gone from feeling like a little sister to becoming one of my closest friends, and the love and respect between us has never changed. I wouldn’t want to be doing this with anyone else. 

Helping women understand their skin, feel more confident with makeup and enjoy it again is exactly why we created these nights.

I think that little girl would be pretty excited about where we’ve ended up. 🤍

Join us this Wednesday, 21 October, at Lady Chu, Potts Point. Tickets via the link in bio.
