Q. HOW DID YOU
END UP AT C/MEO?
It was through my market –
I met C/Meo’s designer and
we got talking, and she offered
me a three-day work experience
stint. I was studying fashion
at TAFE at the time. After the
work experience I was offered
the assistant designer role.
I was only 19.
Q. DO BEAUTY TRENDS
INFLUENCE YOU WHEN
YOU’RE DESIGNING A
NEW COLLECTION?
Definitely. I love the earthy
tones trending now – I’ve started
wearing bronzer on my eyelids as
eyeshadow – the wispy, effortless
hair look and brushed-up brows
- I consider all of these things
for our shoots.
Q. WHAT’S YOUR
APPROACH TO MAKE-UP?
I love a fresh face – and everyone
knows me for my eyeliner. I wear
it every day of the week. I love a
wing. I use lip stain at night rather
than full coverage colour – I’ll
put lipstick on then blot it off for
more of a stain. Then a bit of a
flush on the cheeks. I like to
keep the eyes the feature.
