New brushes and a makeup case!

I am so excited ... I've just bought a brand new makeup case to fit the rapidily expanding stock of makeup that I have...


And the new brushes and M.A.C palette that I ordered have also arrived along with some new NYX products.


I met Bec and Crystal from Perth this morning. They are both guests at a wedding at Palm Cove and they booked me to do their makeup so I was able to try out some of my new eyeshadows!

Tomorrow I am holding a one hour makeup class for a lady who is in Cairns on holidays. I'll be giving her lots of tips and teaching her some of the tricks that I use as a professional. We'll also talk about how to choose the right colours and I'll also teach her ways to enhance her facial features by contouring and highlighting.

If you'd like to book a makeup class email me at abigail@finessemakeup.com or check out my website www.finessemakeup.com

Busy Weekend of Weddings

Friday... one makeup at The Sea Temple in Palm Cove before heading into Cairns to do 3 makeup for the bridal party's guests.

Saturday... out to Woree to meet Kylisha from Sydney. Jetstar had lost half her luggage but luckily she had the clothes she needed for her Sister-In-Law's wedding in Palm Cove that afternoon. From Kylisha to Courtney - I had the pleasure of doing the makeup for the inspirational woman behind the Pretty In Pink event at Cannon Park. The event was a huge success and a really enjoyable day.

Sunday... 10.30am start in Port Douglas making Tracey and her two daughters look beautiful. The family was on holidays from Melbourne. A quick stop at Palm Cove on the way home to do Katherine's makeup and that's a wrap for another busy but very enjoyable weekend of beautiful makeovers.

Denise Cavallaro

Denise was married in Cairns on Saturday the 7th of August.



Denise and her bridal party from Innisfail stayed at the Casino and that was where I went to do the makeup for the gorgeous bride, her mum and her two bridesmaids.



Instead of ordering room service the women brought their own home made goodies like banana cake!

3 Weddings in one day!

I had a 5.30am start from Cairns this morning up the coast road to Port Douglas for 3 weddings.

Sorry there are no photos with this post as there just wasn't any time to take pictures!! However, as soon as I have the professional shots back I will post them.

The first bridal party to be made up was Caroline's at the Port Douglas Central Plaza Appartments.

Caroline used to live in Cairns but after being made redundant by CEC she was forced to find work further afield and ended up on a mine site at Karratha in WA. Welcome home Caroline - if only briefly. There's no time for a honeymoon as Caroline has to be back at work next week!

Next I was off to the Balboa Appartments to meet Jennifer and her bridal party who'd come all the way from Ireland for a ceremony at the St Mary's By The Sea chapel.

Back to the Central Plaza Appartments to make Kerrie and her bridal party look beautiful before calling it a day.

Wow that was a busy Saturday!
