Formals, debutantes, events and celebrations
How I work with you
Four steps, from the first message to walking out the door. None of them need you to have decided what you want yet.
-
01
Tell me what you're booking
Send through your date, where you need me, and how many people are having makeup. If you have already saved a few references, send those too.
-
02
We work out the details
I will confirm availability, travel and timing, then we can talk through what you have in mind. You do not need to know what you want before you book.
-
03
In the chair
We talk before I open anything, then build the look in stages so you can watch it happen rather than meet it at the end. If something is not right, we change it there.
-
04
Out the door
Long-wearing, and checked in daylight before you leave rather than only in the mirror. Take the lip with you and the rest will hold for the night.
Formals & Debs
Makeup for formals and debutante events, from something soft and simple to a more defined look. We will work from what you normally wear, what you are wearing on the night and the kind of makeup you actually like.
Events & Celebrations
Makeup for birthdays, engagements, dinners and other special occasions. Bring a reference if you have one, or we can work out the direction together when you arrive.

What it costs
Per person — the number you see is the number you pay. Bridal packages are priced separately on the bridal page.
Good to know
How far in advance should I book?
If you have a wedding date and know you would like me there, it is worth enquiring early. Popular spring and summer dates can fill well ahead. Formals and other events can often be booked closer to the date, depending on availability.
Do you offer bridal trials?
Yes. One 90 to 120 minute trial is included with every bridal booking. You can book it at whatever point before the wedding makes sense for your planning. The trial is optional, and you can also book an additional trial for an extra fee if you want more time to test another direction.
Do you travel to my location?
Yes. I travel across Melbourne and regional Victoria for bridal and group bookings. Travel charges depend on the location and are confirmed before you book.
Can you arrange hair styling too?
For formals and debs, hair styling can be added to your booking with me. For other services I can recommend hairstylists I trust and, depending on what you need, help arrange one — though a stylist's dates, availability and pricing are their own, so the earlier that conversation starts the better.
What products do you use?
I use professional products from a mix of brands and choose them according to the skin, the finish we are creating and how the makeup needs to wear. Products, tools and brushes are cleaned and sanitised as required between clients.
How long does an appointment take?
Timing depends on the service and the number of people booked. Bridal trials run for around 90 to 120 minutes. For wedding mornings, I work out the schedule around the number of makeup applications and the time everyone needs to be ready.
What's required to secure my booking?
A signed agreement and deposit are required to secure a wedding date. The remaining balance and payment timing are confirmed as part of the booking process.
Ready to Book?
Send through your date, location and what you are booking. If you are not sure which service fits, include a few details and I will help you work it out.
