Whether it is your wedding day, a big event, or a night out, we do your makeup using products and techniques that last. We work with you to create a look that suits your face, your outfit, and the occasion, and that holds up through photos, tears, and a long day.
Book Your Makeup Appointment
A makeup artist applies makeup differently from how most people do it at home. The techniques and products we use give a more polished, longer lasting finish.
We use products that hold up through dancing, hugging, crying, and hours of photos. You should not need to worry about touch-ups.
On a big day there is enough to think about. Having your makeup handled by someone else means you can actually relax and enjoy getting ready.
We match the makeup to your colouring, features, outfit, and the setting. It is not one-size-fits-all.
We start with a chat about what you are after, what you are wearing, and where you are going. We look at your skin tone and features and work out a plan. For weddings, a trial appointment lets us perfect the look beforehand so there are no surprises on the day. On the day itself, we prep your skin, build the makeup in layers, and use setting products to make sure it lasts. You can watch your look come together step by step. We can also come to you if you would rather get ready at your venue or hotel. The whole process is designed to be relaxed. You should enjoy getting ready, not stress about it.
We use techniques that work well on camera, avoiding flashback and making sure your makeup has the right depth and dimension for photography.
Come to us or we come to you. On-location services mean you can get ready in your own space with your full professional kit brought to you.
A trial lets you see exactly how you will look on the day and make changes with no time pressure. No last-minute surprises.
When your makeup is done well and you know it is going to last, you feel more relaxed and more yourself for the rest of the day.

"I actually booked this appointment for my mum as an early mother's day present. She had the Japanese head spa experience and she absolutely loved it. Said how lovely and soft her hair felt and how relaxing it was and cant wait to get herself booked in again. And Helena was really lovely and made her feel really welcome and comfortable. I have now got myself booked in for the same treatment as it sounds amazing. "
