About

A quirky Australian-born make-up artist whose work has spanned print, film and television for fifteen years, published in Cleo, Cosmopolitan, Clin d'oeil and Flare.

I started in production because the camera does not forgive. That discipline is what I bring to a bride at 6am or a lesson at your kitchen table: skin first, then structure, then only as much product as the light needs. I am as happy on a call sheet as I am in your living room.

  1. 01

    Enquire

    Tell me the date, the occasion and how many faces. I reply within two business days.

  2. 02

    Consult

    A quick call or message thread about your skin, your hair, your references and what you never want to look like.

  3. 03

    Trial

    For weddings and big events we do a trial first. Photos in daylight and flash so you can see it the way the camera will.

  4. 04

    The day

    I arrive early, work to the run sheet, and leave you with a touch-up kit and a plan for the humidity.

Questions

Before you book.

Do you travel?
Yes. Sydney metro is included, and I regularly travel to the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley and South Coast for weddings. Interstate and international on request.
Do you do hair as well as makeup?
Both. Bookings can be makeup only, hair only, or the two together.
What brands are in your kit?
Professional long-wear ranges chosen for skin tone coverage and camera. Ask if you have sensitivities or preferences.
How far ahead should I book?
Weddings: six to twelve months for peak season. Events: two to four weeks. Lessons: usually within a fortnight.
Is this the same Natasha as The Sustainable Fashion Advocate?
Yes, same person, different work. Preloved styling, op shop limo tours and the YouTube channel live at their own home so this page can stay about hair and makeup.
