which makeup brands do you use in your kit?
I strictly only use cruelty free brands in my kit, I strongly believe no animal deserves to be harmed, especially not for cosmetics, so I mostly use brands such as MUD cosmetics, INGLOT, Smashbox, GOSH, and Stila.
do you also do hair?
Actually I don’t, but I have plenty of crazy talented hair stylists I can refer you to, including TASHA HAIR-ARTISTRY.
how often do you clean your brushes?
I deep clean my brushes every two weeks by washing them with a brush shampoo, but in-between washes I spot clean them with alcohol after every use or after each client, to disinfect the used brushes.
where are you based?
I am mainly based in Johannesburg and Pretoria, my studio Is in Centurion, but I am a traveling makeup artist and will go just about anywhere in South Africa for your special occasion.
how much time is needed for a session?
It totally depends on the look, sometimes with big events we don’t always have time on our side and need to do a quick 30 min makeup look, but for regular beauty makeup sessions it can be anything from 45 min to an hour and 30 min. Character makeup looks however can take up to 4 hours depending on the amount of detail in these specific looks.
for how long have you been doing makeup?
I’ve always loved doing makeup, ever since I can remember I would always practice doing makeup on my friends, but I have been working in the industry since finishing my course in 2016.
