EMMA

CREATIVE DIRECTOR - LADY BOSS

Emma began her makeup journey in 2000 studying at Napoleon Makeup Academy. Her love of makeup, desire to create beautiful faces and infectious personality fast-tracked her freelance career to creating Blush Bridal - one of the most influential bridal hair and makeup teams in the region. Emma has worked with an array of companies in her commercial makeup portfolio including Target, All About Eve, Cotton On, Tabcorp, Quiksilver, Roxy, Beachclub, Neighbourhood Cable, Victory Blinds, GMHBA, Own Kind & Juicy Bear to name just a few. She also took a role as an educator at Gordon Tafe and was instrumental in designing the Diploma of Specialist Makeup course in 2009. Never happy sitting still, Emma took two years designing and bringing Blush Makeup Cosmetics to life - a boutique line of cosmetics that is fragrance free, paraben free, non-comedogenic and not tested on animals - something she is so proud of. Blush Bar was then borne from Emma's natural desire to create an inviting space and extraordinary experience for all women to 'get red-carpet-ready' for their special occasions.
