Beauty Makeup Artist Gold Coast and Brisbane
Beauty Makeup
Beauty makeup is about enhancing what is already there. Clean skin, balanced colour and a finish that holds up when the camera comes in close. Soft natural beauty, glowing skin, timeless glamour or a strong defined look, tailored to your skin tone, your face shape and the way you like to look.
Photoshoots, portfolios, model tests, personal branding sessions, special occasions and celebrations, across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Byron Bay, South East Queensland and northern New South Wales.

Beauty Makeup That Starts With the Skin
Good beauty makeup starts with skin that still looks like skin. I prep properly, build coverage only where it is needed, and keep texture rather than flattening everything into a mask. Under a close up lens that difference is the whole job. Premium products, professional technique, and colour chosen for your tone rather than off a chart.

Where I travel to
I am based at Jacobs Well, which sits between the Gold Coast and Brisbane and puts most of South East Queensland comfortably within reach.
I regularly work across the Gold Coast, from Coomera and Hope Island through Southport, Main Beach, Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, and north through Brisbane, Redland Bay and Cleveland. I also travel to Mount Tamborine, the Scenic Rim and into Northern New South Wales.
Travel starts at $10 for bookings under 15km and is charged by distance from there. If you are further afield, ask me and I will let you know.

What my clients say
Completely loved my hair and makeup for a beach photoshoot! Jessica was so friendly, professional, and created exactly the look I was hoping for. Everything held up beautifully, got so many compliments about her work and how she made my eye colour stand out so well for the photos. Highly recommend!

Beauty Makeup FAQs
Questions most clients ask me
What should I do with my skin before an appointment?
Come with clean, moisturised skin and no makeup. Do not try a new product or a facial in the week before, because that is when skin reacts.
How long does beauty makeup take?
Allow about an hour for a single look, longer if we are changing looks during the shoot.
Do you do hair for beauty appointments?
Yes, I can do hair and makeup together, which keeps the day simpler and the look consistent.
