Appointments

A lot of time goes into preparation for each client, not only that but when you reserve your appointment another client misses out on that time slot. I understand that life happens, please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to make your appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late, I cannot guarantee I can see you at that time for the service booked.

Please text or call me on 0437 037 871 if you are running late so I know and can make adjustments if needed.

Lashes

Eyelash extensions are synthetic or natural fibres that are individually attached to your natural eyelashes to enhance their length, volume, and curl. They provide a fuller and more dramatic look without the need for mascara.

Lash extensions typically last 4 weeks, but we recommend touch-ups every 2-3 weeks to maintain fullness and longevity.

Eyelash extensions are suitable for most people and come in a range of types which means we can create a look to suit your personal style and preferences.

If you suffer from any of the following, we would recommend refraining from getting eyelash extensions until the issue (where applicable) is resolved:

  • If you have a known, serious allergy to extensions or adhesives.

  • If your lashes are naturally untidy (ie. grow in all different directions) or have an unusual degree of curliness.

  • If you recently permed your lashes. Angled lashes allow less contact surface for your natural lash to bond with the lash extension. Not only does this make it difficult for your artist to work with, the extensions generally won’t last as long.

  • If you have any kind of wound in the area surrounding your eyes or in the eye itself.

  • If you have a habit of rubbing your eyes.

  • In the past two years if you have had LASIK surgery.

  • If you have hypersensitive skin or unexplained skin itching.

  • If you have damaged lashes (note that in some cases we may be able to assist, contact us for a consultation)

1. Clean eyes are very important, please cleanse your eyelashes before your appointment. This includes no mascara, eyeshadow & eyeliner.

2. Please advise prior if you have any known allergies or sensitivities to any chemicals, products or materials.

3. Please arrive on time for your appointment, if you have not been here before use Google Maps to find my address. I cannot guarantee your appointment if you are more than 15 minutes late.

4. Please bring cash payment on the day as this is currently the preferred method of payment.

5. All service durations shown are the maximum amount set aside for the service, due to different ranges of lashes a person can have, the amount of time a service can take will vary.

Yes! When applied by a trained professional, lash extensions will not damage your natural lashes. Proper aftercare is key to maintaining lash health

It is important to look after your eyelash extensions to ensure they last and look luscious for as long as possible.

Everyone's eyelashes have a natural life cycle, where they eventually grow out - this varies for each individual and they can last anywhere from 2-4 weeks.

1. Do not wet eyelashes for the first 24 hours after application.

2. Do not use saunas, steam rooms or sunbeds as they affect retention.

3. Do not use any oil-based products on your eyes.

4. Stay away from mascara and lash curlers.

5. Avoid pulling extensions and rubbing eyes.

6. Brush them thoroughly daily.

7. Wash eyelashes with lash cleanser every 2-3 days.

8. Schedule your 2-3 weeks lash infills.

You can wear makeup, but avoid oil-based products as they can break down the adhesive. Use water-based or lash extension-friendly products.

A lash lift and tint is a two-step treatment designed to enhance your natural lashes without the need for extensions. First, your lashes are lifted using a gentle perming solution to create a natural-looking curl from the base, making them appear longer and more defined. Then, they’re tinted with a semi-permanent dye to darken and enhance the lashes, giving the appearance of mascara — minus the smudging or daily application. The results last around 6–8 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle, and are perfect for those wanting a low-maintenance beauty routine with maximum impact.

It depends on the look you're after and your lifestyle. If you love a fuller, more dramatic lash look and don’t mind regular refills, eyelash extensions might be your perfect match. They’re ideal for special occasions, photoshoots, or anyone wanting that glam “mascara but better” effect every day. On the other hand, a lash lift and tint is great for those who prefer a more natural, low-maintenance option. It enhances your own lashes without adding anything artificial, making it perfect for busy routines, athletes, or anyone who wants to wake up with effortlessly defined lashes. Still unsure? Feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help you choose the best treatment for your lashes and lifestyle.

Brows

Eyebrow lamination is a brow styling treatment that helps shape and set your natural brow hairs in place, giving them a fuller, fluffier, and more defined look. During the process, we apply a gentle setting solution that allows the hairs to be brushed upward and fixed into your ideal shape. It smooths out any unruly texture and helps create a uniform, polished appearance.

The results can last around 6 to 8 weeks, making it a perfect low-maintenance option for anyone wanting bold, sculpted brows without needing daily styling. It works for most brow types and can be paired with a tint for added depth and definition. The finished look is clean, lifted, and effortlessly on-trend.

Not at all! Waxing won’t thin out your brows — it simply removes unwanted hairs to tidy up the shape. When done properly, it actually helps define and enhance your natural brows, giving them a more polished look.

It’s best to avoid applying makeup directly on or around the treated area for at least 24 hours after a brow wax or cosmetic tattoo. This helps prevent irritation, infection, or breakouts while your skin settles. After that, you're good to go!

Henna brow tinting is a natural and plant-based method of coloring the eyebrows. It not only tints the brow hairs but also stains the skin beneath the brow hair, creating a fuller and more defined look. Traditional brow tinting typically only colors the brow hairs.

Hybrid brow tinting is a combination of henna and traditional tinting techniques. It offers the long-lasting color benefits of henna while also adding the depth and intensity of traditional tinting. It's an excellent choice for those looking for a more dramatic brow look.

Cosmetic Tattoo

Most clients report minimal discomfort as a numbing cream is applied before the procedure. It’s often described as feeling like light scratching.

Microblading is a semi-permanent brow treatment that uses ultra-fine strokes to mimic the look of real brow hairs. A small handheld tool is used to carefully implant pigment into the upper layers of your skin, helping to fill in gaps, define shape, or create the illusion of fuller brows.

It’s ideal for those who want natural-looking brows that don’t need to be filled in every day. Results typically last 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for your brows afterward. It’s a great choice for a long-lasting, low-effort brow routine that still looks beautifully natural.

 

Each technique offers a different finish depending on your desired look and skin type:

  • Microblading uses hair-like strokes to create a soft, natural brow — best for dry to normal skin types or those who want subtle definition.

  • Combination brows blend microblading with light machine shading to add more depth and density. It’s great if you want natural brows with a bit more fullness.

  • Ombré brows are done with a machine and create a gradient look — lighter at the front, darker at the ends — for a more filled-in, makeup-style finish.

All techniques are fully customised to suit your features and style goals.

Typically, microblading and cosmetic brow tattoos last between 1 to 2 years. The exact timeframe depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow the aftercare instructions. Touch-ups are recommended to keep your brows looking fresh and defined over time.

  • Keep them dry for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid getting your brows wet during this time — that includes washing your face, sweating heavily, swimming, or saunas.

  • Avoid touching or picking the area. As your brows heal, you may notice light flaking or scabbing — this is totally normal. Don’t scratch or pick at them, as this can affect pigment retention and cause patchiness.

  • Gently cleanse the area after the initial dry period. Use a damp cotton pad or a clean cloth with lukewarm water to gently wipe the area once or twice a day. Your artist may provide a recommended cleanser.

  • Apply healing balm if advised. If your technician has given you a specific aftercare balm, apply it sparingly using clean fingers or a cotton bud.

  • Avoid makeup, skincare, and treatments on the brow area for at least 7–10 days. This includes foundation, moisturisers, exfoliants, and actives like AHAs or retinol.

  • No heavy sweating or sun exposure for the first week. This helps avoid premature fading and pigment disruption.

  • Your brows will go through healing stages. The pigment may look darker initially, then lighten as the skin heals and flakes. A follow-up touch-up is usually needed after 6–8 weeks to perfect the shape and colour.

Everyone’s skin heals differently, so trust the process and always follow the personalised advice given after your appointment. If you have questions during healing, reach out — we’re here to help every step of the way.

Make up

I use a variety of professional and high-quality makeup products and brands to ensure the best results. However, if you have specific preferences or skin sensitivities, we can discuss customizing the products used for your makeup.

Yes! I’m based in the beautiful Barossa Valley and offer mobile makeup services across the region and surrounding areas. Travel is available for weddings, events, and group bookings. Travel fees may apply depending on the location — just reach out for a quote.

 

I offer makeup for all occasions — including weddings, special events, formals, photo shoots, and branding sessions. I also provide soft glam, natural looks, and more dramatic styles depending on your preferences and the event. Trials are available for brides and clients who’d like to test their look in advance.

For weddings and peak seasons (especially spring and autumn in the Barossa), it’s best to book at least 3–6 months in advance to secure your date. For special occasions and non-bridal makeup, 1–2 months’ notice is usually enough, but last-minute spots can sometimes open up — so don’t hesitate to ask.

Absolutely! Trials are highly recommended for brides or anyone who wants to feel confident and relaxed on their big day. A trial gives us time to chat about your skin, preferred makeup style, and any inspiration you have. It also helps ensure your makeup looks flawless, long-lasting, and exactly how you imagined.

Absolutely. Every face is unique, and I tailor each application to suit your features, skin type, and comfort level. I use hydrating and gentle products for mature or sensitive skin, and I’m happy to work with you to ensure you feel confident and beautiful.

A standard makeup application usually takes about 45–60 minutes. For bridal makeup or more detailed glam looks, allow up to 90 minutes — especially if we’re including skin prep, lashes, or custom touches.

Yes! Lashes are included in all makeup applications unless you prefer to go without. I have a range of lash styles from natural to full glam and will help choose what suits your eye shape and desired look.

Arrive with clean, moisturised skin and no makeup. Exfoliate gently the night before, and if you plan to have your brows shaped or face waxed, aim to do it at least 24–48 hours beforehand. Feel free to bring any inspiration photos so we can bring your vision to life.
