24.01.2022 2020 has me looking for silver linings. One of them is the talented models back on our shores for the time being. Nice to see @lucasjsatherley again after a few years. Something creative on its way, soon Beauty by me, assisted by the wonderful @carlystonemua
23.01.2022 My angel @abenynhial - gorgeous girl inside and out.

22.01.2022 Swarovski angel @loli.watson you are perfection Wish I’d taken a video of this look to get the crystals to sparkle but welcome to my forgetful brain I left this look mascara free to make it feel more editorial and less glamour, sometimes I think it just helps up the cool factor when doing creative beauty. Lips created in a flash with thanks to @mykitco 3.1 My Line & Fill brush which makes lips easy. Makeup by me assisted by the fab @carlystonemua . BEAUTY NOTES: @meccama...x liquid light in Opal @maccosmeticsaustralia face & body foundation @soapbrows brow soap @swarovski flatback crystals in Peridot + Shimmer @mellowcosmetics lip paint in Rome + New York applied with @mykitco 3.1 brush @raemorrismakeup Invisible Mattifier See more
22.01.2022 Smudgey liner and a golden glow - my baby girl @miastook who is absolutely flawless, and yes, we all want these brows I get asked to create this shape all the time - Mia is just lucky enough to have the real thing! In other news, I really miss my iPhone 7, I think Im going to have to buy a refurbed one for work, the XS I have now is just not as nice when it comes to beauty shots. Unless theres a way to dumb down the camera on it? Any tips please let me know!
22.01.2022 Throwback to that time @catebennett_ let me cover her in gold leaf for @elizabethmaleevsky to take pics of in her backyard while I picked limes from the lime tree then it got picked up by @lucysmagazine and fun was had for all... In case you cant tell Im going through a sparkly phase at the moment. Not sure when its going to end so Im just riding the rollercoaster, hope you enjoy the ride.

19.01.2022 Creative time is always the best way to recharge and re-energize work wise for me, something I need to try and do more often. This year one of my goals is to work on at least one creative project every month - one down, eleven to go. Any other creatives crave personal protects to keep in love with their craft? PS @josephine_olton you make the world go round

17.01.2022 When you find the good light A gorgeous girl helps too @ashleighallerton Recovering from a huge day yesterday where I got to create some really fun looks that of course I forgot to take any pics of whatsoever... will have to wait until the pics get released I guess? I am so hopeless sometimes!
16.01.2022 Which @samstannley are you today? I think Im Number 3, because Ive been lucky enough to work with this gorgeous girl a few times lately. Im old enough to be her mum but immature enough to be her friend so its laughs and good times all round. Hair + Makeup by me for @outlanddenim with a rad team - tap for credits. . I wanted to keep this looks super clean and fresh for the brand and I love the result! Hero product here is @armanibeauty Luminous Silk Foundation which is one of my kit staples. Also Sam has some of the best brows in the world so I just brushed them into place with @soapbrows brow soap and they were done. Happy Sunday everyone I hope you are all traveling well at the moment. Xoxo @ Fox Street Studio
15.01.2022 The last test shoot I did before we all went in to iso... almost three months ago. We only had 2 or so hours and shot on my balcony at home in the late afternoon light. Simple set ups are sometimes the best. Beauty @charlize.mb @quemodels with my love @jasonzambelli Hair + Makeup by me. Cant decide if I like the colour or black and white as always so you can let me know what you think. The hair is pretty magical in the black and white I have to say @ James Street
15.01.2022 Finally got to paint the face of @aminah_ada_ and if that hadnt already won me over her personality would have sealed the deal. Beautiful girl inside and out. Sending love to anyone and everyone who needs it today.
15.01.2022 Throwing it back to one of my fave shoots ever - still love these images today as much as the day we shot them. @susandriverdesigns brass campaign with @libbywillisphoto @georgiafarley_ @sarahbirchley Hair + Makeup by me. . I hope everyone is coping okay in this time of uncertainty, its a pretty crazy time. We just went for our afternoon walk around our beautiful neighbourhood and its crazy to see everything all closed up with except for a few places. I look forward to seeing it all come back to life hopefully in the not too distant future. Thankfully our favourite restaurant is opening again for takeaway tomorrow night and Im so excited about that. Its the small things. @ James Street
15.01.2022 Guess whos back in the house? Meeeeeeee! From Monday June 1st I am returning to work after a of time in isolation but Im so excited to get back into it. I will be taking on personal clients, shoots, weddings, you name it. My book has pretty much freed up for the rest of the year thanks to the Rona, so please hit me up for anything you need hair and makeup wise - I cant wait to be back on the tools on beautiful faces like my angel @michellebagarra

13.01.2022 How Ive lived my life without @michellebagarra in it up until now will remain one of the universes greatest mysteries... as will why did I not take the clips out of her hair after finding this magnificent light on set yesterday.

12.01.2022 How is everyone going? Its been almost 5 weeks since Ive worked and some days Im loving the break and others Im craving routine. Ive not been very good at cleaning the house like I said I would, and my home pilates efforts arent where Id like them to be but I guess weve just got to get through this! I have been good at eating relatively healthily, keeping on top of emails (probs coz theres so few ), looking after my skin for the most part and scheduling some alcohol free days. Im trying to focus on the good stuff. What are you doing well? If we put it out there it seems more real, dont you think? Sending love to all. Xoxo

I think it shoots really well, will have to play with it some more I think. Happy Sunday everyone I hope you all have a beautiful week ahead
05.01.2022 I love creative beauty @arcadius.fimone you were born to wear this look I kept this simple by using only a few key products - @tatcha skincare, @meccamax liquid light in Opal on the high points of the face and @maccosmeticsaustralia Blacktrack fluidline as liner, to define brows + facial hair and enhance that beautiful spot of course.

02.01.2022 Gorgeous @nadinegoldofficial giving us some bath time inspo - for those of us needing a bit of self care at the moment. I need some ideas that dont involve alcohol and food in all honesty (is that even self care?) so please tell me what your go to self care activity is so I can write a list... google isnt helping. Nadine @busymodels shot by @elouise_photographer ft jewels from @christienicolaides BEAUTY by me xoxo
02.01.2022 Creative beauty is challenging and energizing at the same time for me. I always try to come up with my own ideas and push things in an unconventional way but still keep things beautiful and balanced. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose! I look at this image and think I could have done things better or differently but having a perfect muse and amazing capture means I love it anyway. Thank you @josephine_olton @graceelizabethimages for sharing your sparkle with me.
01.01.2022 BBY Frankie I have been really slack with remembering to post on social media while at work everyone. Mostly because Ive been kind of in the moment and enjoying every minute on set (then Ive been lazy once I get home as Im out of the habit of doing anything ). It sounds so trite but this whole 2020 situation has made me realize how much I love my clients and I consider myself truly fortunate to be able to work with the people I do. . Last week on set for @sacha_drake with @frankiebon.scotney @jasonzambelli @sarahbirchley @melissafox_xo @shannonjjwilliams and @honglemakeupartist MAKEUP BY ME . I hope everyone is well and coping with the perpetual of 2020 we will get there!
