Describe your average day.

I work very long hours but the time flies because I love my business, clients and have passion for my work.  Each day is different, with new clients and varied Beauty Treatments so I’m always fresh and excited when a new day starts.  We work before and after hours appointments Monday to Friday and all day Saturday, and quite often there’s a Wedding we’re booked for on a Sunday.

If you could have only 3 Makeup Products what would they be and why?

I couldn’t live without lip balm, blush and mascara. These three little gems always lift and enhance my face and are quick and easy to apply.

What are your top five Make up and Beauty tips that you can give girls going to their school formal?

1.  Don’t go overboard on the Tanning, pale skin is beautiful too.

2.  Fresh, clean Makeup is beautiful on young skin-embrace your age.  Makeup isn’t a mask, it enhances your natural features and beauty.

3.  Have some Beauty Treatments prior to the Formal, such a Pedicure, Facial and Body Scrub to ensure you’re looking and feeling your best on your special day.

4.  Drink plenty of water to ensure your skin is in optimal condition-this helps Makeup and Tanning application.

5.  Have an Eyelash Tint to enhance your Makeup and an Eyebrow wax to define the eye area.  These are two very effective Beauty Treatments that make a noticeable difference.
