Southern Highlands makeup artist

My service is about your experience.

My brides don't just have their stylist turn up on the wedding day... I am there through the whole process from beginning to end to give you the ultimate experience that extends well beyond just the wedding day.

"From the day we met virtually over Skype sharing a wine, to the trial meeting her puppy Peach, and on our special day- I knew Michelle was in a league of her own.

Michelle has a magic wand and the most calming and happy personality that brings you to the best place. Her contagious positivity and smile influences everyone around her, nothing is too tricky or complicated, she smooths out any inconvenience that could arise!

Michelle was incredible on the day, she set the tone for the morning and continued to bring all the happy vibes to our day!

If the rain ( or tears) ruined my makeup, or the wind dismantled my hair- she was on the scene before I even realised making me feel like a superstar! An image of elegance and style herself, she brings a wealth of experience to the table beyond just hair styling and makeup.

I cant not thank Michelle enough for everything she did on the day and in the lead up! She is a rare pearl!!

Do yourself a favour, book Michelle and her incredible photographer husband Gavin and kick back and enjoy the best day of your lives! "

"Hi Michelle,

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for your make-up and hair wizardry last week. I absolutely adored my hair and makeup and couldn't

have imagined anything better.

You and Kat made the day so incredibly easy and stress free, and had such a calming presence. I loved every minute of getting ready, and I know my mum and bridesmaids appreciated having you there as well.

I told Adam that while getting married was a great decision, boy was it a great decision locking in you and Gav! The photos are magical and I can't thank you both enough for giving us such lovely memories and photos for a lifetime.

I heard on the grapevine my sister has locked you in for her Noosa wedding next year which is great news! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Cheers, Tash"

"Where do I start? Michelle is absolutely amazing!

From the first moment she did my hair and makeup I felt so comfortable and trusted her completely. During my hair and makeup for our engagement photos, she gave me a few tips especially for my hair which then meant when I came back for my trial I could have things exactly how they would be on the wedding day.

On the day, I don't think I would have made it through the morning without her! When she turned up I was so nervous but she kept me calm and was wonderful in helping me make some last minute decisions. Both my hair and makeup were incredible! I've honestly never felt so beautiful.

She also looked after my mum on the day, who also looked incredible and had never felt so glamorous.

I definitely recommend Michelle for any upcoming brides,

she is truly wonderful!"

"She is always smiling and has a way of making you feel calm"

"She's a great listener and her hair + makeup skills are out of this world!"

Michelle is an absolute superstar!

I wish she could do my hair and makeup everyday 🤣
Apart from making me, my mum and sister look STUNNING on my wedding day, Michelle made the whole morning feel easy and breezy. She was so fun to be around and everything was timed perfectly.
She's a great listener and her hair and makeup skills are out of this world (I felt glamorous but still myself and nothing budged all night!)

Thank you Michelle! You're the best.

I cannot recommend Michelle enough! I booked Michelle to do the hair styling for my recent wedding for myself, my bridesmaids and my mum.

My mum and the girls were over the moon with their hair, and I was honestly blown away by how good my hair looked! I felt like a goddess!! I wish I could have that hair all the time - I'm obsessed! She was also just an absolute joy to deal with and brought such a beautiful energy to the day.

Michelle, your work is honestly amazing. The bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning and so did my mum! For her to be that happy with her hair and make-up is a testament to your work, she can be very particular so well done!! The girls have all previously commented that when they had their make-up done previously for bridesmaids roles they wanted to just wipe it off because it didn't suit them or it was thick and cakey, but they loved what you did for them!
So glad that you were there with us.

You made it so fun, easy and relaxed.

You did an amazing job ❤ very happy bride! Xx

I have known Michelle through being part of the industry and honestly could not have chosen a more dedicated, professional and talented hair and make-up artist for my wedding day.

I chose Michelle as I love her work, always creating that glamorous yet natural look for all her brides which was something I really wanted for myself. I gave very little direction and she created what I envisioned and more.

She tailored each hair and make-up look for all my friends on the day and everyone was so happy with how they looked. I felt incredible and best of all had a really fun time getting ready with the bubbly Michelle :)

"I asked for a difficult style with my hair and she really delivered!"

Michelle was absolutely amazing. I have never been as happy with my make up before. She really listened to what I wanted and did a great job. She also did my hair. I asked for a difficult style with my hair and she really delivered!. Can not recommend her enough she was just lovely!

Michelle did both my hair and makeup for my wedding and boy did I feel like a princess. After having a hair and makeup trial, Michelle wrote up a personalised skin routine. After following her routine, my skin never looked and felt so good. It provided the perfect base for my glam makeup look.

Throughout the wedding morning Michelle, my bridal party and I shared many laughs together, as well as Michelle helping me keep my nerves at bay.
You truly are a beautiful person inside and out and I couldn't of been happier having you there to share my special day.
Thank you xxxx

It seems that we always love a good before and after. Oh the possibilities! To me, it doesn't matter how little, or how much makeup you wear for your day. What matters most to me is that you feel the best you have ever felt wearing your wedding day style. That goes for everyone that sits in my chair.

What can you expect from me? Whats my style? That all depends on what you want.

My brides come to me for a professional and personalised service. I work with you to create a bridal look that works well for each individual we are working on whether that be bride, bridesmaids or mums.

I do not recommend all your maids have matching eye shadows or lipsticks or even make their hair part the same way. Thats not natural to them and wont look cohesive on the day. You want them to love their hair and makeup, right? The best bridal party looks are ones that everyone looks and feels like the absolute best version of themselves, and we are here to help with that!

Myself and team artist Kat have worked hard over the years to create a cohesive style so it's almost impossible to tell who did what! The fact we are both hair and makeup artists is such a bonus for you and your day, as we work as a team to get everyone looking and feeling incredible.

"The best bridal party looks are ones that everyone looks and feels like the absolute best version of themselves, and we are here to help with that! "

Our speciality is that we work with you and your features to enhance their beauty, not to make you a clone of someone previously - but more importantly we give you the advice in the lead up to the day to achieve better skin and hair health so you can truly glow from the inside out long after the wedding day is done!

Need a little extra help?

No Problems...

Over the years, I have worked on my skin and hair conditions as well as extreme thinning of the hair. If you are concerned and want to discuss your needs in a private and confidential manner, Im all ears because I love a good challenge and I promise to make it a comfortable and beautiful experience for you.
