Beauty – Adelaide

The name is marylou but everyone calls me Mary. 22 years old, born and raised in ADL. My mother got me into makeup at a young age. She would be always rocking the 90's lip and AVON was her go to brand. I've always had a niche for colours. In art class I would spend colour theory making jewelry and scrapbooking. From year 10 onwards...you could say arts and crafts were my thing. Getting into the party scene and basically being a teenage girl..makeup was very experimental. I would be rocking the "2 shades lighter foundation look", over plucked brows and foundation lips everyday. You could say..it was a "stage" in my life I never want to relive again. Makeup wasn't a big deal until my first option leaving school fell through. I wanted to be a youth worker but paper work just did not cut it for me. Instead of helping people from the inside out, I would help people from the outside in. Makeup artistry it was. I started my business at 19 years of age.. late 2014. I started off free lancing mainly for formals slowly transitioning to weddings and bridal parties. Apart from my own business, I also work in the retail makeup industry. I've worked from brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, SK-II, Revlon and Napoleon Perdis - Just to name a few. In 2016 my cousin and I came out with an Indie eyelash brand called Rusè lashes. They are 100% human hair eyelashes. I use them on all my makeup overs and the support from family and friends is incredible. Makeup is art and it's about time it is recognised as an art form more then just something people do to cover up their flaws. Ending on a good note...i love a strong highlight and I will put glitter on EVERYTHING.
