Two Fine Days!

See more photos of my day here It's been busy! Last weekend we were part of One Fine Day, the amazing boutique wedding fair in Sydney. It was the most beautiful little event and I am so happy we were involved. I don't know if all of you know what I do for work, but I am a Makeup Artist. I work in wedding makeup as well as fashion editorials. The weekend started early by preparing the models for the show in the morning. Managing our little stall all day long for two days was so much fun and also a lot of work. We met the loveliest people and so many of the other vendors, which you can check out in One Fine Days Directory on their website. I hope to collaborate with a lot of them soon! Everyone we met was so inspiring and welcoming. It was the best start I could have ever hoped for. The whole week beforehand we were busy putting everything together, organizing photos, printing postcards and promo material, and putting together little goodies for the brides and designing the stand itself. With every booking we gave away little samples of my favorite and highly recommended organic herbal tea, "Cleansing Brew" from Tea Medica, which is really purifying and nourishing for the skin. I had quite some cups, during the stressful preparations. I love that it's such a small independent company and everything is locally grown and organic. For the fair I filled the tea into little glass test tubes, which looked to pretty with the colourful tea, full of red rose petals, yellow calendula flowers and green herbs. The response from the fair has been great, and it took me all week, to reply to the enquiries and bookings. We met so many lovely brides to be and their friends & families, and it makes me very happy to contribute to such an important and beautiful day in their lives. Thanks to everyone who booked their makeup with me, I am really looking forward to working with all of you. Dave has been my super hero, helping me out all weekend at the stand, getting coffees for my makeup artist and hairstyling colleagues and preparing the stand. He designed fantastic forms and print material and all that at night time after he came home from work. Yes, I am incredibly grateful for this man. And now I am having one day off, before I start my next six day week. We might go to the beach. We might catch up on some sleep, for a long time. Hope you all had a great week!?

Brides in Flats Part I

I have recently done hair & makeup for a gorgeous bride to be who was wearing the most beautiful simple little flat summer sandals. For an Australian outdoor wedding, they were such a great match, I absolutely loved it. This couple was so lovely to work with, I sometimes feel incredibly blessed about my profession. It's wonderful to meet people and getting to know their stories not to mention becoming part of such an important day in their lives. I am currently preparing my stand for One Fine Day the unique wedding fair in Sydney. It's coming up so soon and there is still some things to do beforehand. In Germany is a saying about being self employed, it means you are doing everything yourself and you are working all the time. I always found that to be very true. It's so rewarding at the same time. Anyhow, I got inspired to source some cute flat shoes for you, there are some more here. The ones below are by Jonak. Slip'em on and dance all night ;)

Farewell London

One of the last makeup jobs I have done before leaving London for our new home Sydney, was this Editorial just published in Papercut Magazine. I loved working with the super talented photographer Samantha Nandez and although she is based in the USA and I am in Australia, I really hope to get the chance of working together again in the future. Check out our London Editorial here.
