I am a freelance Makeup Artist working in Sydney. I am available for all types of makeup from weddings to formals, films to photo shoots and special events. I also do body painting and special effects makeup.
My Style
My style as a makeup artist is very versatile, and I aim to cater my work to the artistic directors desires. I love the beauty of a good foundation, and find it essential to a good makeup. I love doing out there makeup, as well as body painting and special effects.
My personal style is full of colour and encentricity. I love bright colourful clothing, usually paired with some sort of denim. I often have brightly coloured hair, and find my hair is regularly changing. I like to play with different outfits and layering, and a lot of my clothing is found, swapped or bought cheap. I love keeping things unpredictable.Favourite Labels
Can't say I have favourite labels that I wear, though I do love Valleygirl for cheap items you can dress up or down (good for everyday wear pieces), Sunny Girl for their understanding of cuts, and I really admire the works of Christian Dior, Roberto Cavalli, Zac Posen and Alex Perry.Best Feature
i like my eyes, but my infectious laughter is also a good feature i think. my laugh tends to spread to others, which means never a dull moment.Something You Should Know
something you should know about me... i have a strange and highly disconcerting (to those who have never heard it before) laugh. i have acquired many and varied nicknames from said laugh, including pterodactyl, seagull, dolphin, squeeky bike brake, car alarm and so on. you will be safe unless you really really get me laughing though.Interests
Makeup, fashion, people, photography, fire twirling, art, drawing, food, music, books, films, fun. I love a lot of things actually.Hates
