Last weekend was all about the Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival – what an awesome experience and the feedback we got was very positive. The whole experience was motivating and inspiring – to see the behind the scenes of a fashion show is amazing, but to actually work in a show doing something I love…words can’t…
The Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival is this weekend!! We’ve spent a fair amount of time over the past couple of weeks mastering the swimwear and couture look in preparation for what we expect will be an awesome experience. Check out Kylie’s Professional website here for more information and great tips on getting the most from…
A new module this week and it’s all about reflexology. Reflexology is based on the principle that certain parts of the body reflect the whole. Reflex points, which relate to all parts of the body, can be found in the feet, hands, face and ears. These points respond to pressure, stimulating the body’s own natural…
We started the week with a brainstorming session to find out what we knew about aromatherapy oils. Aromatherapy in simple terms is a fragrant cure, or the controlled use of essential oils to treat ailments and disease and to promote physical and emotional well-being.

This week we moved onto Avonte Garde Make Up. Avonte Garde ranges from the bizarre to the beautiful and each make-up artist usually has their own twist so it’s always interesting to see what look they will create. The look is more likely to be seen on the runway or pages of a fashion magazine. …
Wow! What a week – we stepped it up a notch (or two) and completed a Big, Bright, and Bold fashion look (statement). The fashion look is all about clean lines, bold colours, no blending, the dramatic, etc. We learned basic, and advanced smoky eye techniques, and used clean lines to create perennially chic cat-eyes. It…
Last week, we covered the theory behind ‘Design and Apply make-up’ including the opportunity to apply makeup on each other using the new techniques we’d learnt.
