Well… that was a bit of a pinch-me moment.
Two days looking after Steven Bartlett The Diary Of A CEO - With Steven Bartlett while he was here in Sydney. 🤍
Yesterday for the Fortuna One Global Summit, and then very grateful to be asked back to look after him again today for something else.
When I first saw numerous calls coming through from a UK number, I genuinely thought it might be a scam. 😂 Because I tend to get quite a few these days haha
Thankfully, I answered.
And there’s probably a lesson in that.
Answer the phone. Reply to the enquiry. Get back to people asap when you can.
Because you genuinely never know who is on the other end or better yet what opportunity might be coming your way.
One phone call turned into two days working with someone whose work and conversations reach millions of people around the world.
After more than 20 years in this industry, I still have moments where I think… how cool is my job?
Listen. Learn. Keep showing up.
Very grateful for the opportunity and the trust im definitely having a little proud moment with this one. 🥹🥹🥹
What a whirlwind. 🤍 xx Kelly

2027 + 2028 brides, this one’s for you 🤍
Bridal enquiries are ramping up and our calendar is already filling well into 2027, with bookings now coming through for 2028.
At Makeup by Kelly & Co, we offer both bridal hair + makeup, so whether you’re looking for makeup only or a team to take care of your entire bridal party, we can make your wedding morning feel beautifully organised from the very beginning.
With over 22 years behind the brush, my approach has always been the same — elevated, long-wearing makeup that photographs beautifully, but still feels like you.
If you have your wedding date, now is a great time to get in touch.
Comment BRIDE below and I’ll send you our bridal enquiry form, my guide to preparing for your bridal trial, plus a little something special towards your trial. 🤍
Less makeup. More glow. It all starts with the skin.
If you’ve ever sat in my makeup chair, you’ll know how much I talk about skin prep.
Whether I’m designing your bridal look, an e-comm shoot, backstage at a fashion show or getting someone ready for an event — beautiful makeup starts with beautifully prepped skin.
These three dermalogica products are absolute staples in my kit and have been for years
1 dermalogica — a refreshing boost of moisture before the liquid / cream and I love as it helps to calm sensitive skin types 😌
2 dermalogica Gel — lightweight, soothing hydration I use this on practically everyone as it’s super light and delivers a instant burst of hydration 💧💧💧
3 dermalogica SPF30 — smooths and perfects the skin before makeup- anyone who I have used this on has seem difference it smooths your pores by blurring them away before makeup 👏🏻
( This does not affect flash photography for you Makeup Artists 👀)
I LOVE ♥️this combination because it gives the skin exactly what it needs without overloading it — light, water-based hydration that works beautifully across normal, oily dry and sensitive skin and doesn’t interfere with the makeup layered on top.
Because you can have the perfect eye makeup liner, lashes and lip… the whole look on point but if the skin underneath isn’t hydrated and prepped, the finished makeup will never look quite as polished.
