About Me

What started as a passion quickly grew into something more meaningful. I’ve always loved doing makeup for friends and family, simply for the joy of it. But it was during my sister’s wedding—when I spent the day helping everyone get ready—that I truly realised how much I enjoy not just the artistry, but the experience of making people feel special, confident, and cared for.

With a background as a dermal aesthetician and my current role as a lecturer at Isa Carstens, I bring a unique approach to makeup artistry. I combine in-depth skin knowledge with professional makeup techniques to ensure every look enhances both the beauty and health of your skin.

My philosophy is simple: celebrate natural beauty. I focus on creating timeless, elegant makeup that feels effortless and refined—helping you look polished while still feeling authentically yourself.

The key to flawless make-up starts with the skin. This service includes dermaplaning for smooth, refined skin, along with a personalised skin consultation and product recommendations. The result is the perfect base for long-lasting, radiant make-up application.

Skin-First

Beautiful make-up begins with healthy skin. I prioritise skincare and proper skin preparation to create a smooth, radiant base. This ensures every look not only appears flawless, but also lasts throughout the day while supporting the health of your skin.
