A 7am start for hair and makeup! 💄✨

​A huge thank you to the sweet for allowing us to borrow such gorgeous dresses, I am so honoured.

​And a massive thank you to the girls for coming along, even though some were feeling a bit under the weather. You all completely survived the day to pull off these stunning gowns! 🤍

Lol today was a fun test shoot with my faves Ames & Matthew

"Can I pay my landlord in 'exposure'?" 🤔 (Spoiler: No.)

​Let’s talk about what actually goes into a professional makeup application. Because "free exposure" doesn't top up the petrol tank or cover public liability insurance. 🛑
​Here is a quick reality check on what you are actually paying
for when you hire a pro:

​✨ The $1,000 Face
The premium products used on a client's skin during a single booking cost an estimated $1,000 to stock and replenish. And that is excluding lashes and travel!

​🧳 The Multi-Thousand Dollar Kit
Years of investing thousands of dollars into a professional kit so it performs flawlessly under high-definition cameras and harsh lighting.

​🛡️ The Invisible Costs
Running a legit business means paying for public liability insurance, professional sanitisation products, and ongoing overheads.

​🎓 Years of Experience
You aren't just paying for the 60 minutes in the chair. You are paying for the years of specialised training, skill, and perfected technique required to get it right the first time.
​Exposure is lovely, but respect, sustainable rates, and paying creatives their worth is what keeps the beauty industry alive. 💯

​👇 Drop a ❤️ if you agree it is time to retire the "do it for exposure" request!
