Ava’s Birthday Makeup
Applying a dark lip colour to beautiful Ava. I love to enhance porcelain skin with a darker lip colour, especially because Ava has such full lips naturally.
Ava’s Birthday Makeup
Applying finishing touches to the lip. Ava wanted light eyes with a dark and smoked out black only around the lash line and a much darker lip colour. We used a pink cream blush and a liquid highlighter to add colour and glow back into the skin
Copper eyes and red lip
This client had incredible bright blue eyes so I used brick and copper tones on her eyes to enhance and further draw out that blue. The skin was full coverage and bronzed with a peach blush to go with our colour scheme. We finished with a bright red lip to draw extra attention to the blue in the eyes as the main feature
Smokey eyes and clean skin
We used cool/silver tones on the eyes to compliment the clients complexion, hair and eye colour. We used a very soft pink on the lip to add colour but not draw attention away from the eyes.

Bronzer was applied lightly to the eye before the defined black wing to create a sharp and defined shape to the eye. False lashes were applied to add volume. Skin is full coverage and bronzed. We completed the look with a soft pink glossy lip to maintain focus on the eyes
Clean Skin for a photoshoot
This makeup on Orla was for a promotional photo shoot for New Dimensions Activewear. We decided to use a full coverage foundation to make the skin look very clean and simple to appear best on camera. We kept bronzer and blush very minimal while still allowing colour on the face. I lightly defined the eyebrows and added a small amount of mascara to the lashes
Soft smokey eyes and medium coverage base
We applied a medium coverage foundation to allow her gorgeous natural freckles to peak through the makeup while still keeping the complexion even. I applied a soft brown all over the lid and deepened the outer corner slightly with a dark brown. We applied a stronger red toned lip to compliment her blue eyes and draw attention to her lip shape.
Soft Pink Debs Makeup
We used a soft pink on the cheeks to highlight her facial structure and tie in with the eyeshadow colour. I applied a liquid highlighter to the top of the cheekbones to create the appearance of a natural glow to the skin.

Short film continuity shot
Finnuala Gillen as Desdemona on the set of “Thin Walls” directed by Ethan Dodd. This look is for a scene in which the character was meant to have a romantic appearance after a date. I decided to keep the makeup very minimal opting for only a light glow on the skin and some blemish concealing. I applied a small amount of mascara to the lashes and a brown lip liner and berry gloss on the lips.
Short film continuity shot
Finnuala Gillen as Desdemona on the set of “Thin Walls” directed by Ethan Dodd. This makeup look was for the “big reveal” shot in the final scene of the short film and the first time the character has heavy makeup on. I applied a smokey brown eyeshadow to the lids and tightlined her waterline with black eyeliner to draw focus to her eyes and make them look visibly different from previous scenes. We went for a bold red lip to compliment the mostly black “night out” outfit that the character was wearing.

Glamorous night-out look
Half-cut crease eyeshadow and full coverage skin with a glossy warm nude lip. A full coverage foundation was applied with a generous application of blush and contour products to make the cheeks defined.
Glamorous night-out look
The focus of this look is the eyeshadow which has a lot of dimension and depth from building shades of brown. The cut crease makes the eye look larger and rounder with the addition of a black winged liner to add definition to the eye.
Glowy skin and fox eyeshadow
This eyeshadow look was created by placing a tape stencil on the corner of the eye while the eyeshadow is applied and then removing it before applying skin products. Progressively darker shades of brown eyeshadow were applied to the eye followed by multiple shades of gold to create dimension on the eye.
Glowy skin and fox eyeshadow
This full-coverage skin look is designed to make the skin appear flawless and very glowy. A glowy primer was applied before foundation and a generous application of highlighter was applied over top. A nude lip colour was added with a shiny gloss to keep the glowy tone.
Futuristic Glamour
This is an eyes closed shot of the makeup look. I used one of the liquid glitter shades that I used on the cheeks also on her eyelids. A thick black liner was added to the eye to frame. We opted not to add a false lash for this particular look. Her eyebrows were filled in with a small amount of brow powder just to add some dimension to them without drawing focus away from the rest of the elements of the look. As the model has a naturally very defined facial structure I felt it wasn’t necessary for the brows to appear very heavy.
Futuristic Glamour
This is a look I did on a model for an editorial style photo shoot. The photographer wanted an elegant evening look with elements of modernism. So I did a classic brown and gold eyeshadow and added extra black to deepen the eyes further so as not to lose focus on the eyes in the shoot. I swept some gold liquid glitter across the temples and added two thin black lines to the lip. The lipstick is a classic red matte which compliments the models skin tone and enhances her eye colour. We added a generous amount of rouge to her cheeks to compliment the lips and the nature themed background of these photos.
Deep purple smokey eyes
Eyes closed shot of the eyeshadow. A purple shimmer was applied in the middle of the lid to apply focus to the centre of the eyes. The eyeshadow was winged out and a black eyeliner was applied all the way from the inner corner and out to a wing. Black pencil liner was applied on the waterline and a dramatic false lash.

Bronze and Gold Party Makeup
This client supplied an image of the eye look they wanted which was recreated on her eyes to suit her eye shape. We added a thin winged liner and curled her lashes before applying mascara and false lashes. We finished the eye look with some highlighter on her inner corners.
Winged out eyeshadow with a nude lip
We used cool toned browns on the eyeshadow and a cool toned nude lipstick. The skin is full coverage with bronzer and a peach-toned blush.

We used matte brown tones on the eyes to create the winged shadow shape and added a small amount of shimmer across the lid. Then added mascara on the top lashes and a strip lash.

Purple Smokey Eyes
Purple smokey eyes with a purple glitter lid and a glossy nude lip. I did a very bronzy skin with a small amount of peach blush and a gold/champagne highlighter to compliment the tan foundation.
Rainbow eyeshadow for pride (eyes closed)
We applied a false lash to the eyes to add volume to the lashes and extra shape and definition to the eyes look. As this model has hooded eyelids we applied the colour high up on her lids with small brushes. A very thin line of black liner was applied to the lash line to allow the false lashes to blend seamlessly into the real lashes.
Rainbow eyeshadow for pride month
Rainbow coloured eyeshadow with a champagne shimmer on the lid. Paired with a glossy peach lip and full coverage skin. This model requested an overdrawn Cupid’s bow to create a soft and full look on the lips.

70’s Makeup (Eyes Closed)
Makeup for a 1970’s themed event. We went with a very neutral brown in the crease with a pastel turquoise shade over the whole lid. A brown liner was used on the upper lash line, a blue on the lower lash line and a white in the waterline.
Eyes closed shot of full coverage skin and smokey liner
I chose a green/gold toned shimmer for the eyelids for a pop of colour and grunge and to compliment the eyes.
Full coverage skin and smokey liner
This makeup was for a night out, so we went with a full coverage skin with bronzer and peachy blush. We chose warm toned brown eyeshadow with a soft black liner to compliment the outfit. Finished the look with a simple gloss.
Purple smokey wings
We went with a purple eyeshadow look to compliment the models hazel eye colour. I blended the eyeshadow into a wing shape to lift the face. We went with a peachy blush to compliment the eye makeup and a pink-nude lip colour. Finished the look with a pair of fluffy false lashes and a glowy highlighter.
Close up Halo Eye
This model has large, round eyes so we went with a halo eye to accentuate her eye shape. A warm golden-brown colour scheme was used to compliment the green eye colour of the model. We kept the brows natural and dark to add definition.
Flawless Skin and Halo eyeshadow
I went with a full coverage foundation to compliment the dark eye makeup. We did a brown and golden halo eye with a fluffy lash. I decided on a peach toned blush to compliment the eye makeup and a dark rust lipstick.
Clean skin, light eyeshadow
Eyes closed shot of this look. We kept the eyeshadow minimal. Focusing the small amount of brown shadow mainly on the outer corner and highlighting with a pink shimmer in the centre of the lid and a champagne shimmer on the inner lid. I added a very small amount of darker brown on the lash line to add definition but not to age the eyes of the young model.
Clean Skin and Glossy Lip
As this model is younger with naturally clear skin, we decided to do a clean skin with a subtle glow and a peachy cheek. The eyes have a cool brown shade with a pink shimmer to bring out the blue in the eyes. Finished the look with a simple clear gloss to focus on the natural colour of the lips.
Pink Eyeshadow
A deep pink smokey eye, concentrating the colour on the outer portion of the eyelid and keeping the inner lid light in colour. Complete with a dark nude lip.
