Every transformation features the exact products and brushes I used, so you can easily recreate the look at home.
This is for you if:
- Your makeup isn’t sitting the way it used to
- Your skin feels drier or more textured
- You want coverage without heaviness
- You want to look polished, not overdone
Makeup That Works for 40+ Skin
Hydrated, luminous skin with coverage that still looks like skin.
Client: Annika
Soft glow, hydrated skin finish
Annika’s skin was feeling dehydrated with redness through the centre of the face, which can cause makeup to sit unevenly and look flat.
I focused on restoring hydration, smoothing texture and creating a fresh, luminous finish giving her coverage without heaviness.
Best for:
- Dehydrated skin
- Redness
- Makeup not sitting smoothly
- Wanting a natural, glowing finish

Fresh, plump skin finish
Suzanne’s skin was lacking moisture, which can cause makeup to appear flat and settle into fine lines.
We focused on layering hydration, softening texture and creating a smooth, plump finish with a natural, skin-like glow.
Best for:
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Makeup settling into fine lines
- Skin looking flat or dull
- Wanting a fresh, natural glow

Real Results from Private Makeup Lessons
Each of these clients learned how to recreate their look at home using products, techniques and colours carefully chosen for their skin type, face shape and eye shape.
Client: Ada
Fresh, Balanced Skin that lasts
Ada has combination skin with oil through the T-zone, which can cause makeup to separate, lose coverage and become shiny throughout the day.
I focused on balancing oil control through the centre of the face while maintaining hydration, creating a smooth, fresh finish that looks flawless and lasts all day for work.
Best for:
- Combination skin
- Oil through the T-zone, dry on cheeks
- Makeup not lasting throughout the day
- Wanting a fresh, flawless finish without heaviness of a matte foundation

Event Makeup That Still Looks Like You
Long-wearing, flawless makeup with a fresh, skin-like finish designed to last beautifully in photos and throughout the day.
Client: Kelson
Bronzed, Glowing Event Glam
Kelson wanted a fresh, bronzed makeup look for a fun day at the races. Kelson had a spray tan, so her foundation shade was adjusted to blend seamlessly with her tanned skin for a natural, even finish.
I focused on creating glowing, flawless skin paired with soft bronze and peachy tones through the eyes and cheeks, resulting in makeup that felt lightweight, lasted beautifully throughout the day and still looked fresh and natural in person.
Best for:
- Event or race day makeup
- Glowing, bronzed skin
- Long-wearing makeup that still feels lightweight
- Wanting makeup that stays shine-free through the T-zone without drying the skin
