Personal Branding & Headshot Makeup Gold Coast and Brisbane

Personal Branding Makeup

Your headshot does a lot of work. It sits on your website, your LinkedIn, your proposals and your speaker bio, and it is often the first impression someone has of you. The makeup should make you look like yourself on a very good day, not like someone else entirely.


I work with business owners, entrepreneurs, influencers, speakers and professionals across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Byron Bay and the surrounding areas, on corporate headshots, personal branding shoots, content days and promotional video, including shoots with Eyes of Love Photography.

Headshot Makeup That Still Looks Like You


Photography flattens features and lighting washes out colour, so a face that looks right in the mirror can look tired on camera. I correct for that without pushing you into a full glam look you would never wear to a meeting. Long lasting and camera ready, matched to your skin tone, your face shape and your own style, so clients recognise you when you walk in.


What You Can Use the Photos For?

  • Website and about page
  • LinkedIn and professional profiles
  • Social media and content days
  • Marketing material, proposals and speaker bios
  • Promotional video and interviews

What my CLIENTS say

Jess did my hair and make-up for my new website and I have to say I was absolutely delighted with the results. Jess is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She listens to what you want and then, voila, delivers! I would not hesitate to recommend Jess. She is a real gem and blessing.

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!

I had such a great experience working with Jess on a lifestyle shoot! She absolutely nailed the look they were going for under time pressures. Super professional, really attentive to all the little details, and just a really lovely person.

Personal Branding Makeup FAQs

Questions most clients ask me

  • What should I wear to my makeup appointment?

    Whatever you wear to work on a good day. Bring a couple of options and we can match the makeup to them.

  • Will it look like too much makeup?

    No. It reads as polished in the photos rather than made up. Tell me how much makeup you normally wear and I will work from there.


  • Do you work with my photographer?

    Yes, happily. Tell me who you are shooting with and the call time and I will coordinate with them.

  • Can you do my whole team on the same day?

    Yes. Send me how many people and the shoot schedule and I will quote it.
