Welcome,

If you've found your way here, welcome! I'm a makeup and hair artist based in Cape Town specializing in airbrush wedding makeup. Yes, I literally spray makeup onto your face!

Home-life consists of dogs, washing makeup brushes, cooking ‘lekker’ food, coffee dates with my favourite humans and way too many makeup shopping sprees… It is a tax write-off afterall! My husband and I eloped in New York in 2023, he is a total muso who works in Architecture during the week. ‘Mamma’ (mom) is always at the top of my recently called/whatsapp inbox and I cherish our incredible connection.

For your trial, you will be invited to join me at my home studio nestled in an old, well-established neighbourhood in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town.

Weddings tug at my heartstrings and playing a part in your celebration brings me immense joy. I'm not just your makeup artist; I'm your steadfast support on, what can be, an intense day. Even in my personal life, I am the biggest cheerleader for my favourite humans, thus my style exudes radiance-from-within, elevating all the features you love about yourself. Your comfort and confidence are my top priorities. Still you, but the 2.0 version.

While Cape Town is my home, my heart belongs to France (Paris, specifically), with Scotland and New York coming in close. And yes, I would love to chat about any of your travels when we meet! Am I the only one who takes a drive through foreign cities on Google Maps Street View?

Over the years, my work has graced the pages of numerous local and international blogs such as Junebug, Green Wedding Shoes, and The Pretty Blog. My artistry has also appeared in publications like Wedding Inspirations, Sarie Bride, and Hochzeitsguide.
