BALLINA + BYRON BAY + GOLD COAST

Personal musings and makeup-related chat about all the Weddings I've contributed to.

Back to Byron

Well here I am - back in NSW where it all started for me, so many years ago!

I’ve got more hats now that I did when I began my makeup artist journey back in 2005: mum, wife and… school teacher! A little known fact is that I also teach primary school aged children! I love it and in the past I have worked as a teacher a few days a week and been a bridal makeup artist the other days. I love both roles and although I adore teaching, being a makeup artist in Byron Bay feels right for me now.

I am so excited to be working with some new industry vendors, new wedding venues, new locations and of course new brides!

New South Wales is where my heart will always be and as we land up here so close to Byron and all the beautiful surrounds like Lennox Heads, Ballina, Mullumbimby, the stunning Byron Hinterland areas and Tweed Heads, I count myself lucky to be living and working in such a phenomenal part of the world.

Where else can you be 10 mins drive to the beach, 10 mins drive to a rainforest, 10 mins drive to a farm and 10 mins drive to suburbia?? Nowhere. And that’s why there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

Can’t wait to see where this year takes me!

Back to Byron..

The move I didn’t know I needed.
