The Beauty Secret No One Tells You Why
Age Is Your Greatest Makeup Asset.
Your wedding photographer is secretly hoping you'll hire a makeup artist over 50? They should be.
It's funny, you know. You stroll through life thinking, "Oh, 50? That's nothing and ages away." And then all of a sudden, it's upon you. It's one of the only times in your life when you realise there is someone faster and younger who can do your job, but do they yet have your expertise?
In this ever-fast-paced world, I was once the younger version of myself, saying "I do" to doing things at lightning speed. Now I'm a midlifer, thinking "Whoa, I can't do 40 makeups in an 8-hour period like I used to." But you know what? I can do bridal makeup. I can make you look, feel, and want to be your most glorious, flawless, glowing self without a ton of product layer after layer.
And you know why? Because I have 36 years of experience.
Three Wedding Makeup Disasters Only Experience Can Prevent
Who knows what to do when you've just applied makeup to your mum and then she's crying because it's such an emotional day? Who knows how to dab those tears without ruining a whole face of beautiful makeup?
Me, that's who. And why? Because I stood for 9 hours a day for years at makeup counters, encountering all manner of people:
Women who could barely make eye contact
Mums who just wanted a lift
Men who stood in front of me saying, "I just want to be a woman"
Drag artists with leftover spirit gum and cine wax, asking for the most standout eyeshadow and how to contour when contour wasn’t even a thing.
Strippers and sex workers who would come in full of late nights and grungy clubs
I looked after them all. From them sliding down their poles, telling me "you can do the same while young, young!" I met every skin tone, every skin type, and every day was a challenge—but it was a challenge I loved.
Why Your Wedding Photos Will Thank You
At 50, I'm not the fastest makeup artist anymore. But I am the one who will:
Ensure your makeup still looks flawless in photos 12 hours after application
Make sure your mother's tears of joy don't ruin her makeup
Know exactly how to make you photo-ready without looking like you're wearing a mask
Understand how to adapt when the lighting changes or when stress causes skin issues
Handle the unexpected wedding-day emergencies that no YouTube tutorial prepares you for
My hands have touched thousands of faces and learned something unique from each one. When you hire experience, you're not just getting makeup—you're getting peace of mind.
