Description	Before	After
Tamsin doesn't wear alot of makeup usually, so I kept her look to a minimum by smoothing out the skin and softening the eyes using brown/pinks and highlighting her sultry blue eyes with a touch of blue in the eyeliner. Finishing it all off with a natural rose coloured lippy. Mwah ...
Dimity loves life and I wanted to bring out her brilliant blue eyes using golds, browns placed in exactly the right spot to enhance and widen the eyes, so they really pop in size and colour. And because Dimity has a stunning smile, I've used a rosy pink coloured lip with matching lipliner to sharpen the whole look. Chi Ching!!!
Debbie is also another bride that doesn't wear much makeup and loves the beach. She had beautiful freckles that I wanted to slightly show off through her foundation, so my application was sheer but durable. I used golds, bronzers and chocolate colours in the eyes to have that sparkly, sun-kissed look. I then used a warm beige glossy lip. mmmm...
Michelle is also a happy sole and i wanted to brighten the eyes and show her pearly whites off. Michelle loves a natural look too, so with the art of shadows in browns, pinks and golds, I raised the look of her eyes considerably. Smoothing out her skin tone with a matt foundation and highlighting her gorgeous high cheek bones. All that needed to complete the finished look was a natural brown lippy and a sprinkle of bronzer over the body. Wow.
Cheryl has a generous, loving personality and wanted that flawless, glamorous look. Once again using pinks and browns to give her an uplifting eye with gorgeous little false eyelashes to the side. Matt foundation with loose powder to give a flawless skin and wonderful in photos. Lining and smudging the lip in a Rose Pink liner with a touch of pearly gloss to bring out her beautiful smile. Niiiice.
Frida has stunning features and wanted that professional bridal catwalk look. Step by step I gave a dewy, flawless skin using a matt foundation along with a matt blush and then sprinkling a slightly luminous powder over the face. I used pinks and smokey grey shadows with loads of eyeliner placed on both top and bottom lids. Sculpting the eyebrow is a must along with little false lashes to bring out that cat eye. Then to top it off, I've used a creamy vanilla lipstick. Meow.
Jill is an impressive women and knows what she likes. Not one for wearing much makeup, Jill trusted that I could bring out the best in her features. Natural makeup looks easy, but if you don't have an eye for perspective and colour, then the best won't be achieved. I loved using chocolate and coffee colours on Jill around her eyes, then a fine line of slate blue eyeliner to bring out her chocolate coloured eyes. I then lined and coloured the whole lip in a warm brown, red lippy. Snap.

For this photo shoot, it was all about bold red kissable lips, so bending the rules slightly, I gave Candice a smokey eye with loads of dark grey eyeliner and strip false eyelashes. Then the focus was on her lips... Using a sharp pencil, line the lips carefully, take time, then using a lip brush to apply loads of blue/red lippy - this will give your teeth that brilliant white with every smile. Highlight the lip by using a gloss in the centre top and bottom only.
I went a bit arty with Rhiannon as she had the most amazing eye colour and shape. Using a black shadow over the whole eyelid and then sweeping it to the side. Be careful using dark shadows so as to not let it fall onto the cheek - good to do eyes first. Then I used an eyeliner brush straight out from Rhiannon's bottom lid. Placing a white or cream shadow between the lines, creates a sharp liner look. Then I placed liquid eyeliner on the inner corner of the eye. Then to top it off with long strip false eyelashes and shapely brows. Lip colour should be kept to a minimum.
With this photo shoot, I was aiming for an icy winter look, so I used alot of pinks and blues on Jess. Her lid was covered in a light blue shimmer shadow and highlighted the brow area with soft pink and white. I then used a dark blue eyeliner pencil on both top and bottom lash line with a hint of pearly white shadow on the inner corner of her eye. Jess's blush and foundation were slightly luminous and her lips were a beautiful frosty pink gloss.
This lovely young lady wanted a sophisticated and elegant look for Spring Racing Carnival. Matching the makeup up with the dress, I used pinks, peach and greens on her eyes starting with a frosted peach shadow on the lid and warm caramel on the side and in the eye socket. I then used a charcoal coloured eye pencil on both top and bottom lashline along with a hint of green shadow lined over the top. Then the lips were carefully lined in a peach pink liner with matching lipstick and topped off with a pearl lip gloss.
