How We Work With You
Makeup artist services that will have you looking (and feeling) beautiful
Issada Colour Match/Mini Makeover
Buying new makeup and testing for the correct color can be very daunting.
To make it easy and less time consuming, I offer 1;1 color consultations and a mini makeover so you can be 100% assured you’ll buy products that suit your skin type and complexion.
Focused Mini Lesson
These mini lessons are 2 hours, 1:1 sessions, that focus on 2 elements of makeup that you really want to nail plus a basic few tips & tricks on all the other areas that we didn't focus on. They’re shorter than my 'KYOF' lesson, but they’re still heaps of value, and are for those that only need help with certain areas.
