How to prepare
for your
Appointment
Please read & follow these tips for gorgeous, long lasting makeup
Moisturise
Ensure you are using moisturisers, hyaluronic acid, serums & eye creams to nourish your skin! Even if you have oily skin & especially after using exfoliants.
Exfoliate
I recommend using an exfoliating toner that contains Acids such as AHA & BHA to remove dead skin cells. Use 1-3 times per week leading up to your appointment.
Protect
Wearing sunscreen every day is a must to protect your skin & ensure we have the best possible base to apply makeup onto!
Hydrate
Glowing skin comes from within! Aim for 2-3L water a day.
Dry Lips?
You can make my own lip scrub with raw sugar & olive oil to exfoliate dry lips! Follow up with lip balm, I love the Dermal Therapy Lip Balm or the Laneige lip sleeping mask.
Need a boost?
I love to use a hydrating face/eye mask when I’m feeling tired or more dry than normal. Choose one with gentle/simple hydrating ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane and Glycerin. I love the Mecca Bright Eyed Eye Masks & Patchology Get Dewy With It Sheet Masks.
Hair removal
If you are wanting to remove facial hair please do so at least 3 days prior to your appointment. I highly recommend having dermaplaning done if you are wanting your makeup to look as flawless as possible. Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz & dead skin!
TANNING
Which Tan should I use?
I prefer a tan that is violet or red based. My all time favourite self tans are Loving Tan Ultra Dark or Baddest Bod Ultra Dark!
Should I tan my face?
I prefer to avoid tanning my face as it can dry out the skin & cause breakouts. Not tanning your face also lets the true colour of the foundation shine & prevents any possible muddy look from tan underneath.
Body Glow
I offer complimentary Body Glow with every Makeup application! This is the perfect addition to your glam & ties your décolletage into the look! It also makes your tan pop so much more.
ON THE DAY
Please be on time! Aim to be a few mins early, we have a GORGEOUS couch you can chill out on before your appointment.
Come to your appointment with a clean moisturised face!
Come prepared with inspo!
I suggest finding inspiration photos of some looks that you love on faces with similar features & colouring as you!
Hair styling
If you are getting waves done by me, first or second day hair is best!
CARING FOR YOUR MAKEUP
• Avoid touching your face!
• Tears or liquids - use a tissue to dab liquid away, no wiping!
• Oils - you can use blotting paper to wick away oils - GENTLY PRESS onto oily sections, no wiping!
• Runny nose - I like to use Q Tips rather than tissues to keep your nose perfectly painted!
• Eating/Drinking - To protect your lip products use a straw/eat bite sized foods until your event - or have a touch up lip product with you!
After Care Kits are available to purchase at your appointment that include everything you need to touch up with!
