About

Thoughtful makeup, designed around the individual.

I’m a Brisbane-based makeup artist working across bridal, beauty, commercial and editorial projects.

My approach begins with the individual. I consider skin, features, styling, lighting and the context of the event or shoot before building a look that feels balanced and intentional.

From soft bridal makeup to stronger editorial concepts, I aim to create polished work that photographs beautifully while still feeling natural and comfortable in person.
