Sahara

This beautiful girl came and visited the studio recently for a Makeup Lesson and Photoshoot.

I absolutely loved her Mums feedback – “Thank you so much, such a beautiful thing you offer young girls. Such a confidence boost. So very grateful.”

Lara

The soft, dewy, glowy, bronzed beach skin is all the go at the moment. I took this opportunity to step right out of my comfort zone and try something new. I’ve always used powder products; blush, contour, highlight, etc, as that is what I was trained with, it’s what I know, I’m comfortable with it, confident with it, I know how it works and I know it looks good. I was nervous to give the creams a go, being a perfectionist there aint no room for f’ing it up. Errrmmmmagawd, I LOVE IT! This is essentially why I ask these beautiful creatures out to my studio, try new products, test my skills, grow, evolve. Poor Lara is very used to my colourful language #whoisnt and seeing that crease in between my brow as I reach for the makeup remover… We get there in the end, and I think you’ll agree, this was a win.

What look would you like me to demonstrate next?

Happy Easter! I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter long weekend and indulging in all things chocolate. I’m currently sitting somewhere between epic sugar high and uncomfortable nausea. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

Chelsea & Scott

I often ask my clients how much makeup they wear on the regular. I’ve found that a “natural look” on a client that doesnt usually wear much makeup is completely different to a natural look on a client that regularly wears a full face of makeup.
So when Chelsea requested a natural look on her Bridal Trial, I casually asked the question “do you often wear much makeup?” I heard her Mum giggle from the kitchen before she proudly announced that Chelsea is a Glam Makeup Artist with a 42k following on Instagram. Now I’m not going to lie, I kinda started to get a little clammy. Nothing like sweating under pressure. Lucky for me, Chelsea is just the sweetest chick ever and doesnt seem to be bothered by a prufusely sweating MUA. Head over to @mzdior_xx and check out how crazy talented this chick is!

Bri & Cody

Sometimes the best made plans…. Bri and Cody had planned to marry in the beautiful coastal town of Wooli. Thanks to Covi D they changed their plans to a more intimate Wedding at Bri’s family property on the river in Woodburn. I don’t know what Plan A looked like, but Plan B was just stunning, a gorgeous ceremony on the riverbank of the Woodburn River.
