Marie Antoinette



I have been very quiet with my blogging. This year has been one of the busiest years of my life and I'm happy to say that I finished my Diploma of Specialist Makeup and Hair last month and I'm now fully qualified! More posts on my blog should be expected now and I will also catch up with the events and photo shoots I have been doing over the past few months. 

Below is some professional photo's I had taken of my Marie Antoinette character from Victoria Universities Night of Notables. I've been interested in Marie Antoinette since high school after studying her and I fell in love with the movie Marie Antoinette (2006). The costume and styling was so beautiful, I wanted to try and create my own modern take on her. I handmade the wig and I actually made the fake cake out of gap sealant from Bunnings. The costume I bought from a shop on Etsy.com.

I was so happy to come away with 3 out of 4 awards from the night for Best Wig, Industry award and Student of the year. I'm really looking forward to 2014, this has been one of the best years I have had and I can't wait to start organising some more creative makeup shoots!
