Debbie is a multi-faceted make-up artist and threading expert who brings her creativity, originality and individuality to each and every job. Originally from Peru, Debbie has always had a strong sense of creativity and design, along with a love for color. After earning a degree in Film in Peru, and being exposed to different areas of the industry Debbie discovered that her true passion was in bea

uty and make-up design. Debbie went on to study threading & makeup in Los Angeles in 1996 and since then she’s been working passionately in the industry that she loves. Debbie says:
“Every woman is beautiful in their own special way. I don’t use makeup to hide their flaws, I use it to enhance their natural beauty. My highest accomplishment is to see the boost of confidence on my clients faces after the first glance at the mirror. Confidence is the best gift I can give them and I can tell, that something on them has changed after that first look in the mirror. People always ask me how I get inspired before doing their makeup. A large part of that is seeing their already existing beauty as a person. After spending some time finding out more about them, I put myself in their shoes and aim to bring out the best of them, enhancing their true beauty.”

Today I had the pleasure of doing makeup for my lovely client, Leilani, who was having professional photos taken for her work website. 🤍

I often get asked, “Do you do makeup for work photo shoots?” — and YES, I absolutely do! I do this very often for women having photos taken for their social media, personal websites, business websites, work profiles, and even passport and driver licence photos.

Leilani wanted to keep her makeup soft, fresh and natural, so I chose beautiful, soft earthy tones to complement her features.

But here’s the thing about makeup for photography… 📸

The camera doesn’t naturally capture the dimension that we see with our eyes. Photos and videos are two-dimensional, so highlighting and contouring are really important to bring back that beautiful 3D effect.

By strategically adding light and shadow, we can enhance and define the natural contours of the face, so everything translates beautifully on camera — without making you look overly made up in person.

And that’s exactly what we wanted for Leilani: soft, natural and fresh, with just a little touch of glamour. ✨

So girls, if you have a photo shoot coming up — whether it’s for your business, your social media, your website, work, passport or driver licence — make sure you DM me and let me get you photo-ready! 💄📸

Because looking like YOU, but just a little more polished, is always the goal. ❤️

Hey my loves! 💕 I know… I know… I’ve been a little bit MIA lately! 😂 So I thought I’d finally come out of hiding and say HELLO! 👋🏼

And while I’m here, I HAVE to show you this hair! Because seriously… WHAT?! 😍

I washed it Thursday night, curled it Friday morning for the event I went to, and since then I have done absolutely NOTHING except brush it! 😂

Six days, girls… SIX DAYS! And look at it! 🙌🏼

This is exactly why I love hair extensions. They make life SO much easier! You can do your hair once and then basically just keep living your best life. 😂

And honestly, I can’t thank the gorgeous team at Mooi Hair enough for always looking after my hair and making me feel like an extra glamorous version of myself. ❤️

Anyway, I just wanted to pop on and say a big HELLO because I’ve missed you guys! 🥰
I hope you’re all doing amazing, and I hope you’ve got something fabulous planned for the weekend.

Love you all! Have the BEST day! 💕✨

Last night we went to the CR Annual Awards Night and was a fun night! ✨🥂

My hubby won an award, which made the night extra special! 🏆❤️
It was great excuse to get dressed up, feel glamorous and have a fabulous night out.

And honestly… what would I do without my hair extensions?! 😍 Huge thank you to Mooi Hair for always keeping my extensions looking amazing and making me feel extra glamorous! 💁‍♀️✨

We had heaps of fun playing blackjack and roulette at the casino-themed night 🎰🃏 and I may have had slightly too many pineapple daiquiris 🍍🍹😂

Now, as I lie in bed with a headache, I’m seriously debating whether those last few daiquiris were a good life decision… 🤦‍♀️😂

But overall, it was such a fantastic night! Great company, lots of laughs, a little bit of gambling, little bit of dancing…. definitely a great way to spend a Friday night ❤️✨

✨ MEN’S EYEBROWS — YES, THEY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE! ✨

Just look at this before & after! 👀

When it comes to men’s eyebrows, you don’t need to completely reshape them or make them look “done.” In fact, the goal is quite the opposite!

With threading and a few strategic tweaks, you can take bushy, unruly brows and make them look tidy, balanced and masculine, while still keeping them completely natural.

One of the biggest concerns I hear from men is: “I don’t want my eyebrows to look feminine or overdone.” And I completely understand that!

Men’s brows need a different approach. The goal is to work with their natural shape, clean up what needs cleaning, tame the unruly hairs and create the right expression around the eyes — without taking away that masculine appearance.

I’ve seen so many men who have over-plucked underneath their brows, thinking that removing more hair is the answer. But with men’s eyebrows, less is often more! Removing too much underneath can completely change the shape and make the brows look unnatural.

And this isn’t just something to think about as you get older. Young men can benefit from professional brow grooming too — just like my 19-year-old client here. 🙌

As men get older, eyebrow hairs can also become longer, thicker and more unruly, which can actually make the face look older and more tired. A little professional grooming can make such a difference!

So, if you have a husband, partner, brother, son or friend with unruly eyebrows, send them my way! 😍

I promise — we’re not going to make them look like they’ve had their eyebrows “done.” 😂

We’re simply going to make them look tidy, balanced, masculine and amazing. ✨

Today’s adventure started with absolutely ZERO planning. 😂

My girlfriend Karin and I were both happily minding our own business — she was in the middle of work, and I was in the middle of a reserve walking both dogs, determined to finally do the long walk I’ve been promising myself I’d do. 🐕🐕

Then suddenly… TICKETS FOR A FASHION SHOW

One of Karin’s friends had a couple of spare tickets for the Future of Fashion show and, well… we clearly had no choice. 😂

Within about 30 minutes, we had to stop everything, throw ourselves together, make ourselves look vaguely presentable and somehow transform from “women who were just walking dogs and working” into “fashion week attendees.” 💅🏼

And off we went!

It was honestly such a fun little fangirl escape. We had SO many laughs, saw some incredibly creative looks and definitely came home knowing we had not necessarily found our next outfits. 😂😂 But seriously, it was amazing to see so many creative minds putting their ideas out there and doing their thing. There was so much imagination and talent on display.

And then… somehow, despite our very much spur-of-the-moment outfits, we ended up getting stopped by photographers asking us for photos. 📸

Obviously, we had to oblige. I mean… when a photographer asks, you POSE. 😂

We took approximately one million photos, soaked up the gorgeous sunshine, grabbed coffees afterwards and then headed home to continue with our actual workday like responsible adults.

I absolutely LOVE spontaneous moments like this. No planning, no overthinking, just “Are we going?” — “YES.” — “Give us 30 minutes.” 😂

Sometimes the best days are the ones you never planned. ❤️✨

The scenery here is simply breathtaking. 🥹✨
Photos and videos honestly don’t do justice to just how beautiful this place is.

There’s something so relaxing about walking along the lake, breathing in the fresh air, taking in the views, and having a good chat with my girlie. 🩷

Definitely the best way to slow down, unwind, and chill for a few days. 🌿🦆☀️

Feeling very grateful for moments like this. 🤍
