About The Artist
Claire is a diploma-qualified makeup artist with over a decade of industry experience, specialising in long-wear bridal makeup.
Her journey began on the Gold Coast in 2012, where she completed her Diploma of Specialist Makeup Services and International Diploma in Fashion, Theatre and Media Makeup.
She started out working in a boutique makeup store, then moved back to Newcastle to work at Napoleon Perdis, and later joined a beautiful high-end hair & makeup salon in the heart of the city. After that, she launched her own freelance makeup business while also stepping into another career for a few years - but continued doing makeup on the side as she could never fully step away from it. She has had the privilege of creating looks for countless brides and being part of many special occasions across her 13 years as a makeup artist.
Her signature style is long-wear, glowing glam that lasts all day, photographs beautifully and keeps you feeling confident from the first photo to the last goodbye. She loves creating shimmering statement eyes, a flawless full-coverage base, and a luminous finish. Every look is crafted with high-end, long-wearing products designed to withstand tears, adverse weather, dancing, and the full celebration. Her goal is for everyone who sits in her chair to feel like the most beautiful & confident version of themselves - and will always work with brides to ensure they feel this way.
She is now a mum of two little ones, and while her availability is limited in this season of life and she’s keeping her calendar intentionally light for now, she is so excited to be stepping back into the work she has always loved.
