My makeup journey started before I could even walk. I’ve always had a passion for creating art and meeting new people. Throughout school, growing up in a small country town I would always be there to do my friend’s and family’s hair and makeup which I did out of true passion. I continued to grow and develop these skills as I studied my way through my diploma and graduated in 2015. Since then I’ve had the privilege to be apart of some beautiful women’s big day, gorgeous formal girls graduating school and much more.
I’ve managed a store with Napoleon Perdis and still carry out work at Mecca Maxima. Having these past experiences has helped me to stay relevant and keep up with new trends and brands of the ever evolving makeup world.
Over the last few recent years, my passion for hair and makeup has lead me to not only work on weddings, formals and other occasions, but I also work in the fashion and advertising world for brands such as Dan Murphys, Taco Bell, Centr, Honda, Department of Education, West Village, Emporium, Coffee Club, Department of Transport and Main Roads, CBUS and many more.

I was lucky enough to have Emily do my makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! At my trial we discussed what I’d like for myself and my bridesmaids, Emily was very knowledgeable and forthcoming with suggestions with what would suit each person. On the day, Emily arrived on time and transformed myself and my bridesmaids into the vision I had for my wedding. I felt the most beautiful I ever had on my wedding day and I truly believe it was because of Emily. I could not recommend her highly enough!
