I love my job as a professional makeup artist so always try to outdo myself every time I do a job. I enjoy every part of the process from prepping the talent and getting them in the right headspace even if it means ironing their shirt!
I enjoy wardrobe styling as much as I love makeup, and when the budget is tight, I am thrilled to double up as a makeup artist and stylist although sometimes I am run into the ground trying to make it work, I still love every minute of the day!

Yvette is reliable, consistent, works to a time schedule and ensures the talent is in the right headspace each and every time.
Always smiling and happy – has a can-do attitude and will turn her hand to anything which needs doing even if it means running for everyone’s coffee.
I love that she can also take care of wardrobe when on a tight budget.

“The digital post-production of photographs necessitates taking a very close look at the subject matter. Photographs of Yvette’s bridal and commercial work never fail to amaze me. The makeup is subtle yet the effect is absolutely sensational. She’s an artist of the highest calibre. “
Ben Kopilow, Fusion Photography    http://fusionphotography.biz/
“I have known Yvette for over five years and in that time have had the privilege of working with her on many weddings. As a photographer who provides a luxury service to my clients, I rely heavily on the professionalism and skills of the make-up artist to contribute to the quality of my images. I require work to be done quickly and efficiently and to a schedule so that I have sufficient time with the bride to do my work.
Yvette is just such a makeup artist and for this reason, she is one of my preferred suppliers whom I recommend to all my clients. She brings experience, talent, professionalism, a high standard of service, and good humour to every shoot. She knows how to make the client feel relaxed and confident and the result of her work is always tasteful, elegant, subtle and beautiful – everything I need to make my brides look gorgeous in their photos.
I highly recommend Yvette for any makeup or stylist project, she is the best in the business.”

“Yvette is as good as it gets, she is a true master of natural makeup. Every time we have worked with Yvette the makeup is elegant, natural and classic and our brides always look radiant and absolutely stunning.
Working as a photographer we love that Yvette makes our job easy – we don’t have to spend hours retouching skin, lips, eyes or hair because brides always look flawless with not a hair out of place. I love that they don’t do radical makeup transformations, our brides are recognizable just better, more beautiful versions of themselves.
The makeup is always flawless and elegant, it lasts all day and night and it always matches skin tones perfectly. (Unfortunately, this can’t be said for everyone in the industry.)
More importantly, Yvette brings more than makeup to the wedding day, her beautiful nature ensures our brides always feel pampered, gorgeous and relaxed – I’ve never had a stressed bride with Yvette on the team. She is always is punctual and runs on time and I can’t emphasize enough the importance and value of starting a wedding with the girls feeling confident, gorgeous and running on time. We love working with Yvette and the whole Ethix team they are our absolute favourite in the Southern Highlands!
It is natural, well blended, and each face is perfectly accentuated and subtly made up. They are always on time, professional and make my job a delight when I start work.”
Simone Gardiner – Talechasers Photography.
“They say all brides are beautiful, and from meeting with brides before their big day and seeing them in all their splendour on the day just amazes me. But I can always tell when they have had their make up done by Yvette. What she can do with sometimes, little to work with is amazing. Her brides are flawless, their confidence soars and they come to me in really high spirits from spending a fun morning with her … not only because she produces the highest quality work around but she brings with her an exuberance and fun energy that sets the mood for the whole day.”
Jonathon Dear Photographer
“Yvette’s makeup is awesome, I never have to clean it up and it looks just as great in real life as it does in photos, she makes my job so easy!
Yvette is my favourite makeup artist to deal with. I have been a wedding photographer for over 9 years full time and the makeup the girls from Ethix do is, in my humble opinion, the best around. And I have witnessed ALOT of makeup artists work.Â
It is natural, well blended, and each face is perfectly accentuated and subtly made up.Â
They are always on time, professional and make my job a delight when I start work.Â
I photoshop a lot of my work, being a perfectionist with what I give my clients. By having amazing makeup like Ethix, I find my job a whole lot easier as I don’t have to fix bad makeup in post (I.e photoshop)
Her work is the best and everyone that gets married should be booking her services. I cannot recommend highly enough!”

“As a wedding photographer, it’s always reassuring to know that your bride has chosen to engage the best hair and makeup team for their day.” As a DOP for Wicked Bee Productions –Â I wish I had Yvette around for every job, she always ensures that the day goes smoothly.

When I am informed that Yvette and her team will be there, I know that the preparations will be on time, and the bride and her maidens will look absolutely wonderful.
Yvette is not only fantastically professional with a great appreciation of natural-looking makeup and elegant stylish hair – she understands the importance of making sure everyone is on time.
She has great respect for the photographer’s role in capturing beautiful pre-ceremony photos for all to treasure.
I love that she brings wisdom and intelligence to the experience and that there is an air of maturity in the room. It’s not just about making sure that brides are physically ready for the ceremony – it’s also about making sure they are emotionally ready to have their pre-ceremony photos, relaxed and happy.
