Carissa and James

Carissa and James were married at Rydges Esplanade Resort in Cairns.

During Carissa's makeup trial we went for a very natural bridal look with a real focus on the eyes. On the day of her wedding though Carissa had a change of heart and decided she wanted a bold look. She chose a black and silver smokey eye and blood red lips. To ensure the colour didn't bleed I applied foundation to Carissa's lips then lined them before applying the lipstick.

Here's the result...

For a flawless finish and to make sure Carissa's makeup looked fresh all day and night, I used a water-proof foundation designed to resist tears, heat and humidity as well as a water-proof mascara!

Jessica Lawler's Wedding

Jess has just sent me these stunning photos from her wedding in Port Douglas last month.

Soft curls, a floral hair piece and Jessica's natural red hair offsets this look beautifully.

MAC's fluidline really helped define Jessica's eyes, making them pop.

Hannah and Evan

Hannah has sent me some beautiful photos from her wedding in Port Douglas last month.

There were a few tears in the morning as I was getting the bride, her bridesmaids and the mother of the bride ready but no problem because I always use a waterproof foundation which is designed to resist tears, heat and humidity. Waterproof mascara is also a must!

MAC, Makeup Store and Napoleon Perdis are my favourite eyeshadows along with MAC fluidline eyeliner for a really clean finish.

Making the eyes the focus we went with a soft pink lip gloss to complete Hannah's bridal look.

Subtle contouring and highlighting really bring her face to life. Without these professional techniques the features look dull and flat.

Adele and Ivan

We love seeing amazing results but sadly we don't always get to see our beautiful bridal parties just before they walk down the aisle.

That's why it's so exciting to receive a copy of the stunning wedding photos and videos that our extremely talented local photographers take!

I just got these professional photos through from Adele and Ivan's wedding at the Novotel Oasis in Cairns.

Adele's hair is naturally curly but on the day of her wedding we put some hot rollers in and also used a GHD iron to really define her curls and place them so that they perfectly frame her face. Don't her highlights look amazing!

It's all about accentuating your best features, like Adele's beautiful almond eyes.
