My latest work

Annika Studio Shoot

I just love this soft purple eye we did with Annika. Her light skin and blonde hair is perfect for this soft look- her eye colour really popped with the eyeshadow. Using MAC eyeshadow- called Sketch! I just love sketch! Only the outer corner- inner corner of eye I used Phloof.
We didnt do any liner- just mascara- she wanted a clean look :)




In this last photos we shot if were she was looking down so my ladies can see how I did this makeup look! Enjoy :)

Published work

Makeup For OMG Magazine

I was very excited and thrilled when Bianca Finn, Owner of OMG Magazine, asked us to do Makeup for her. She also informed us that the photos will be published in her Magazine. Yippeee! Published work and very good advertising for my Makeup.
My hubby, After Effect Photography, did these amazing photos of Bianca's Makeup.



I just Love this photos of B! So Glam.
TIP : Her inner corners are highlighted with a light shimmer and makes her eyes look bigger
DON'T : If we had to add a black liner to her inner waterline -her eyes would have looked smaller.


Before starting with any kind of makeup- we first clean and moisture the face before applying and makeup application.
I use MAC Prep and Prime to give the face a smooth finished look.

Here we used 3 different green eyeshadow! Light/ Medium & Dark.
  • Working form light to dark- from inner corner to the outer corner. Dark being on the outer corner. shading and blending all the colour together.
  • We use a soft kohl pencil on her top eyelids and smudge it for a softer look.
  • We shade with green eyeshadow on the bottom lid aswell to complete the look.
  • Mascara top and bottom to make the eyes "pop"
  • Soft cheek {orange blusher}and finish with a MAC bronzing powder {must have}
  • Lip liner {natural}and finish with a light colour lipgloss
  • Complete your look with MAC Fix Spray- will set your makeup for the whole day.

The completed look!
Stunning and completed in 45 min. We actually took 1 and a half due to all the chatting and laughing- but we can complete this look much quicker. haha :)






Makeup for a Cause

We did Makeup for Breast Cancer Awareness and we went Pretty in Pink! Our beautiful model, Krystle Joubert, was very excited about this shoot and our Photographer, Ronaldo Harding from After Effect Photograhy, was also very excited!We want to raise awareness that Breast Cancer is real and ladies should get tested.

I loved working with Pink Pigment eyeshadows, long eyelashes and soft lipglosses!
