I'm now at rm salon Wednesdays & Fridays

I have been asked by many many makeup clients....how do you make my brows look so amazing! Well I have a special knack for shaping & styling brows - an eyebrow whisperer you could say! So on Wednesdays & Fridays I will be at the beautiful new salon rm owned and of course operated by the gorgeous & divine Raymond Michael. I'll be specialising in brows and of course offering makeovers & makeup tutorials. Here is the menu:

Belinda & Gareth / photography Meredith Lord

I did the makeup for Belinda's wedding to Gareth recently & it was photographed by Meredith Lord. I love Merediths photography. It just seems to have the right balance of elegance & sophistication without losing spontaneity. She also happens to be lovely! You can check out more of Merediths work here  www.meredithlord.com

Eva Bradley Photography

I got in touch with Eva Bradley recently & realised that she has photographed quite a few weddings I have done the makeup on - so thought I'd do a post on a few of these from over the last year or so. Eva is a fabulous wedding photographer - you can check out more of her work & contact her here www.evabradley.co.nz

Nicola Silkes wedding // photography Eva Bradley

Here is a photo & truly lovely email from Nicola Silke who got married at Black Barn on the 27th January.

Hi Cushla,

I just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for all your hard work last Friday.  I was absolutely stoked with how all 3 of us turned out thanks to your amazing skills - my sister in particular was very worried about feeling like she looked OK and she was over the moon with how you managed to disguise her less than perfect skin.

I was slightly worried about how my makeup would survive the night - with my shiny nose etc etc - but I only needed one touch up after photos and before the ceremony and I was good to go for the rest of the night.  Amazing!

Thanks again so much - you helped make me feel like a million dollars for a day!

I will certainly pass on your details to any other Hawkes Bay brides I come across who are looking for a make up artist - is there any other way you promote yourself ie Facebook etc?  I would be very happy to add my endorsement of how absolutely fabulous you are! 

Thanks again

Teresa Crawford wedding January 2012

Teresa had such a fun 50's inspired wedding & was such a confident beautiful bride. I had a lot of fun doing the makeup for her & her bridesmaids.

Anne Maries wedding

I was so pleased to be asked to do the makeup for my incredibly talented beauty therapist Anne Marie Edgecombe's wedding in October last year. Best beauty therapist in 'the whole world' & a real perfectionist I was very flattered when she asked me to do her & her Mum & bridesmaids makeup on her wedding day to Kevin in October last year.

Lisette & Shane's Wedding

I had the pleasure of doing Lisettes makeup for her wedding to Shane back in May. What a stunning bride!
