Hello / Hi / Hallo / Hey
This is me – well, only when I get my photo profesionally taken – and here you will get to know a little more about me and my love and passion for anything aesthetic! I am a professional make-up artist , hairstylist & eyebrow specialist with humble roots stemming all the way from Zastron (Yes, it’s a real place. Go ahead Google it!).
My love for things beautiful lead me to the City of Cape Town where I completed my studies in Interior Design as well as professional make-up artistry. I am passionate about people, have always loved one-on-one conversation and enjoy making someone feel at home. These three things are all present in the make-up industry and probably the reason why I enjoy it so much.
I have a love for sweet things & pastries, enjoy occasional team sports and have a yearning desire to travel the world and get to know the way of life in different cultures with my handsome husband!
Well, that’s enough of me for the time being, scroll down to view my preferred professional brands & products, which I will be using on you or head over to my gallery for some visual satisfaction or my services to view a breakdown of the beautiful things I spend my time on!
