My lovely old friend & incredibly talented globe trotting graphic designer Tana Mitchell contacted me earlier in the year to work on a shoot for a New Zealand apples campaign being promoted in Europe. I did the talent scouting, hair & makeup for the 2 day shoot. Photos by Louise Hyatt.

Michelle Gavins Wedding February 2011

I had the pleasure of working on Michelle Gavins wedding in February & I wanted to share a lovely note I received from Michelle's Mum Ellen:

Good morning Cushla

I would just like to say thank you so much for wonderful way you approached Michelle’s special day and for the lovely make-up everyone wore. We were all so happy with your work. As you know I was a bit nervous but I was very happy (more than I could have expected) with how natural and nice it was. And that was the case for everyone.

Your cool calm manner and ability to make everyone feel so much at ease and to just fit in with us all was a great help for the great feeling on the day.

We had absolutely fun day from the beginning to the end and we are so pleased that you were our make-up lady.

Take care, Kind regards

Ellen Gavin, Michelle’s mum

Jules Carey wedding January 2011

I have had an overwhelming number of weddings this season....phew! Every one of them different & so beautiful & I have had such a great time! The lovely, gorgeous Jules Carey was kind enough to share photographs of her special day.

Heres a little note Jules wrote to me "So firstly THANK YOU for my make up - I was really happy with it, and everyone (inc my friend who works on TV and has hers done all the time) thought it was excellent and that I looked beautiful, so Thank you so much. It also helped that you were cool and easy to talk to / connect with, so aces all round really!"
