I will be publishing simple make-up tips and hints throughout the next couple of posts. I will follow this up bi-monthly to coincide with a link for you to sign up to my newsletter. Stay tuned over the next week. In the meantime keep visiting my website for update photos, hints, new film and media work and offers.

Weddings

April & May were busy months for weddings, taking me from the Hunter Valley to Mitchells Flat to Port Macquarie. Congratulations to all those happy couples, hope you are all now well relaxed after all the hard yards of organising a wedding.

In that time I also took on a make-up line called de Chabre. I chose this as my official make-up product after much testing and trialling. Some of the things that impressed me most were the colour ranges, so important when I'm dealing with so many different mediums, faces, and types of productions, the "stretch" that I could get from the eyeshadows, which is vital for blending edges and colours, foundations of which there are 6 different types, and lastly that I could finally use a professional product that I could also on-sell to my clients and other production crews. Visit the de chabre website below, and if you are wanting to see and trial this product email me , or call anytime, 0408 064 299
