Red and white for bella Mel !

I had the honor to share the special day with my amazing friend Melanie! We've been friends for 6 years now :-) She and her man tied the knot on saturday the 27th November! My girl Mel is one of a kind! She can do anything! Her and Josh pretty much make everything possible, they made their wedding cake, ebay'd their rings, built their own house, probably cooked their own food, oh and I will also mention, they MC'd their wedding! LOL ! Im not surprised!
Anyway check out these fabulous pics! Mel had to go with a bold theme, and i think RED is pretty much as bold as you can get! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE !

Mel and Josh's idea of a romantic wedding day photo shoot is actually trashing the dress... She wont let the dress sit in her cupboard for a year, she'll burn it on the day! You rock little sista!

And you can see what I mean by RED !

And just for fun, check out the shoes!

Love you Mel and Josh, all the best!!! XOXO

Congratulations Sarah and Caleb :-)

My lovely friends tied the knot on saturday the 13th of November (on Mchappy day!!! This is cute as considering they are a Mcdonald family too! lol). Anyway I loved the opportunity to decorate Sarah for her prince charming on their very special day! Sarah is a beautiful person inside and out, I really didn't need to do any make up for her at all, she could have got away with nothing and still looked amazing! The photo's were taken by their friend Daniel Work, what a lovely guy he is, and what amazing moments he captured!

It is special to know such a beautiful couple, your love for each other truly radiates!! I am a lucky girl to be able to call you both friends. xoxo

Rebecca Brown on her wedding day!

Here are a couple of pictures for Rebecca Brown, she married her prince charming on October 10 2010! Congratulations lovely!
Bec wanted to have a subtle look, nothing too dramatic just pretty and simple! She chose a light shade of pink across her lid, a few individual lashes and little bronzer, really sweet and simple! Thank you for letting me decorate your day Bec! Her bridesmaids wore teal dresses and they wanted something a little more outstanding for their make up! Enjoy the pictures from SUN*DAYS Photography

Bridal hair and make up

I did another photoshoot the other day with Steve Elmer and Julian Beattie. I had the marvelous Mindy Maclennan to show off her skills and do the hair! Mindy has just opened her own salon (LUCKY DUCKY!!!) If you want an amazing hair do, give Mindy a call! You can get all her details here at Vivid Glamour Hair Studio.
I dressed my best buddy Prina up as a pakistani bride - so beautiful!! Im really interested in Indian Bridal/Bollywood make up! Hope to specialise in this one day.. Prina had a great time, she managed to get her outfit from her sister and mother! I loved the colours!!
I also had A girl all dressed up as a western bride, subtle gold colours, dark liner and individual lashes. I went bold for this because I think it is ok to go all out with your make up on your wedding day!!! Why not? Its 1 day out of your life, do something special :-) I like natural, but I just dont understand why we stick to that sort of thing on our most very special day!!!

Here are some pictures of the hair thanks Mindy! And thank you Julian for these shots :-)

soft smokey and natural

Well, pretty much every time I do a make over for someone they want "soft, smokey and natural". I love it, it is beautiful and really compliments anyone's beautiful features. I really want to perfect this type of make up. I know I can do a lovely job, but there's got to be something better I can add to it. Thats just something I keep thinking! So I will be searching for that something that bring's this gorgeous look to more then outstanding.

Kariz-Matik Photography & Steven Elmer Photography ROCK THE CASBAH

I had so much fun on sunday painting a beautiful face for a shoot with Kariz-Matik Photography (Julian Beattie) and Steve Elmer! These guys are the best!!! Next time I want to use my own little camera to shoot pics of them in action, just for fun!! They are so passionate, they love what they do!! Its not often you find people that are confident and openly excited about their talent, and always looking to take it to the next level! I love it!! You would regret it if you didn't hire these guys for your next photo session! Seriously!! Will have to get a picture of their smiley faces some time!
The shoot was for a couple who are about to get married, Simon and Simone. The guys are doing the photos for the wedding too, so watch this space and I'll get the link for you to check it out when thats done! Simon and Simone are so fabulous in front of the camera and a genuinely lovely couple! I hope I get to paint Simone's face again some time in the future :-)
Check out these pics!!

Fun times :-)

Formal

Formals! They are happening all year round and are the biggest thing for the girls in their last year of school! The next best thing to the wedding day!! I love doing formal make overs :-) Especially when I get to use colour !! There is nothing like an elegant wash of fabulous colours that match the dress/accessories!! A few weeks ago, the lovely Jasmine Mcdonald decided to get creative and do a little mock up formal shoot of her own! If you're after a fabulous hair style for your special day you wont regret contacting Jasmine. Steve Elmer and Julian Beattie captured this awesome event and what a fantastic job they did!
Meet Letitia: What a beautiful lady she is!!! I am really looking forward to painting her wonderful face for her formal in just a few weeks!

And Ally: What can I say. She is purely stunning. A Life size Barbie :-)

Jasmine's creativitiy in hair styling will blow your mind. Here is another of her creations, once again, gorgeous Letitia was her model for the day.. Check it out.

Here is a picture captured by me. The gorgeous guys (my ever so loving cousin Ryan) at Nudgee had their formal a few months ago and they had the privelege of being accompanied by these two special ladies, Celeste and Candice. Hair By Jasmine once again!
