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.

Save my 3-step skin prep for your next makeup application 💧😚

I just realised it’s been almost two years now of shooting with Oxford Shop —almost every month.

Grateful to keep creating with such a fun team, and to watch each collection come to life.

I thought I was turning up for a photoshoot… not a throwback to 2020. 😂😷

Sometimes the show really does have to go on. Matthew wasn’t feeling 100%, so the mask made an unexpected comeback… and I’d forgotten just how much I didn’t miss wearing one. 😂

Thankfully, good skin prep never changes. For every e-commerce shoot, I like to keep the skin fresh, hydrated and camera-ready: Dermalogica Australia
Dermalogica Calm Water Mist
Dermalogica Calm Water Gel
Dermalogica MultiVitamin Power Eye Cream

Winter layers. Clean skin. Effortless beauty.

Recent e-comm shoot for Oxford Shop creating makeup that feels polished, modern and lets the collection take centre stage.

The kind of makeup you don’t notice… because it just works. 🖤
