When it comes to makeup, there’s always been a bit of miscommunication around natural and neutral looks. Many people assume they’re the same, but there’s a distinct difference. From our perspective neutral makeup focuses on soft, earthy tones, beiges, browns, and taupes - while natural makeup is about enhancing features with a barely there finish.

And then, there’s my specialty: naturally defined makeup. So what Is Naturally Defined Makeup? It’s kind of a bit of both techniques. Naturally defined makeup is the perfect balance between a flawless, camera ready look and a fresh, true to you finish. It ensures you look incredible in photos while still feeling like yourself in person. Instead of masking your features, I enhance them - working with your natural bone structure, complementing your skin tone, and using colours that bring out your best. This technique is ideal for photo shoots, weddings, and special occasions where you want to feel confident in every light - whether it’s the glow of golden hour or the crisp flash of a camera. The Secret to a flawless, long lasting base and what truly sets us apart? The time and attention we put into preparing your skin. We believe that makeup should sit seamlessly on top of the skin not just as a layer, but as part of a well prepped, healthy complexion. That’s why we take the extra step of massaging each product into the skin, from skincare to primer to foundation.

This process:
* Enhances circulation, leaving the skin looking fresh, plump and radiant
* Ensures every layer melts into the complexion for a second skin effect
* Creates a smooth, long lasting base that doesn’t feel heavy or cakey

In my opinion this creates an experience that is not only relaxing and comfortable but also ensures your makeup looks its absolute best - both in person and on camera.

The Power of Custom Makeup Artistry
Makeup should never feel like a mask. It should reflect who you are, elevate your confidence, and align with your personal or professional brand. Whether you’re a bride, a performer, or a business owner preparing for a shoot, my goal is to ensure your makeup enhances, not changes your essence.

If you’ve ever struggled to find the balance between looking polished and feeling like yourself, naturally defined makeup might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Let’s create a look that’s uniquely you.
