About Me
I started hairdressing in 1995 when I was only 16 years old and by 1998 I was completely qualified. I then went on to complete a make-up artistry course in 1999 and started working in the photographic industry as a Make-up Artist working freelance from 2000 - Present.
During the course of my make-up career I have worked in all areas of make-up including Theatre, TV, Editorial, MTV Awards, Teaching, Weddings and Music Videos. I was a freelance make-up artist for SBS TV for 2 years and worked at the first MTV Music Video Awards in 2005 doing make-up on Missy Higgins and Chingy. I did make-up and hair on Kyle Sandilands along with many other Australian celebrities on the awards night. I did make-up for South African actress Rosie Motene. My make-up work has appeared in both "In Style" Magazine and South African "Elle" Magazine. I have also added High Definition Airbrushing to my repertoire.
From 2000 onwards, I have run my own freelance business doing make-up and hair for weddings and other special events. In addition to freelancing and running my business, I do private lessons in make-up and hair. After completing a Certificate 4 in Workplace Training and Assessment in 2004, I have taught make-up at privately owned schools covering the following skills;
- Make-Up Certificate II
- Design and Apply Basic Make-up
- Design and Apply Make-up for photography
- Design and Apply Make-up for Remedial Camouflage
- Stage and Performance Make-up
I worked in London where I did make-up for London's largest dance studio in Covent Garden "Pineapple Studio". Whilst in London, I was signed up by 2 make-up agencies. I currently work at Channel 10 as a freelance Make-up Artist & Hairdresser.
