ABOUT
THE HEART BEHIND THE ART
Hi, I’m Cheryl — a Canadian-born makeup artist and hairstylist now based in Australia. I began my journey in makeup artistry back in 2006, studying in Vancouver, though my love for art started long before that. I’ve always been an artist at heart, with a background in realistic portraiture, and makeup became a natural extension of that passion — transforming faces into living, breathing works of art.
After moving to Australia in 2013, I found my place in the bridal and beauty industry, where I’ve had the joy of working on thousands of faces and hundreds of weddings. From brides and models to clients of every age, skin type, and ethnicity — including those with disabilities — I take pride in creating a comfortable, welcoming space for everyone.
I believe beauty should be inclusive, expressive, and deeply personal. My goal is not only to help my clients look their best, but to help them feel their best — confident, radiant, and completely themselves. Every appointment is a chance to connect, share stories, and play a small part in someone’s special moment, which is truly what I love most about what I do.
MY CREATIVE SIDE
I have always been fascinated by how transformative makeup artistry can be! Here is proof that you don't have to stick to certain colours or styles. I love trying different looks and who better to experiement on than yourself?! Over the years, I have loved transforming myself with makeup and pushing the boundaries creating unique looks! Halloween might be my favourite season, but really, I could never get bored of makeup, no matter what time of year!
