Formal Makeup | Award Winning Makeup Artist In Wollondilly
Formal makeup is more than just a pretty face, it’s about capturing your confidence, personality, and style in one unforgettable look. I’m Sara, an award-winning makeup artist and I specialise in formal makeup for school formals, brand photoshoots, and weddings. Whether you’re stepping onto the dance floor or the stage, my goal is to help you look and feel your absolute best.
With a decade of experience in the industry, I’ve worked with a wide range of skin tones, face shapes, and event types. I understand that no two faces, or events, are the same. That’s why I take the time to get to know your vision, your outfit, and your comfort level with makeup. From Soft Glam vs. Full Glam guide to bold statement looks, every application is tailored to suit your features and the occasion perfectly.
I use only high-performance, photography-friendly products to ensure your makeup not only looks flawless in person, but also lasts all night, and looks just as stunning in your photos. Whether it’s a school formal, a professional headshot session, or the biggest day of your life, I bring calm, care, and creativity to every client.
Based in Tahmoor, however, I spend a lot of my time in Wollondilly Shire and the surrounding areas, I offer mobile makeup services so you can relax and get glam in the comfort of your home or venue.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. How far in advance should I book my formal makeup?
Formals book up quickly, especially during peak season. I recommend securing your date at least 4–6 weeks in advance to avoid missing out.
Q2. Can I book makeup for more than one person?
Yes, absolutely. I offer group bookings for friends, siblings, and families. I’ll organise a smooth schedule so everyone’s ready on time and looking their best.
Q3. How long does it normally take?
A formal makeup appointment typically takes around 45–60 minutes per person. If you’re also booking hairstyling, allow up to 2 hours total for both services.
Q4. Will my makeup last all night?
Yes! I use premium, long-wear products and professional techniques designed to keep your makeup flawless for hours, through photos, dancing, and everything in between.
Q5. Can I get both hair and makeup done?
You sure can. I offer hairstyling as part of my mobile service, including soft curls, up-dos, and more. Just let me know what you’re after when booking.
What to Expect From a Formal Makeup Appointment
Booking a formal makeup isn’t just about having someone apply products, it’s a full-service experience designed to bring your vision to life. During our appointment, I’ll start by chatting with you about your outfit, the style of the event, your skin type, and the kind of look you’re hoping to achieve. Whether you want a bronzed glow, soft lashes and neutrals, or a more dramatic, editorial-inspired style, I’ll guide you through a look that works with your features, not against them.
All applications include prep with high-quality skincare, a long-wear base, and a custom-selected palette to suit your complexion and undertones. Lashes and touch-up advice are included so you’re photo-ready for every angle.

Professional vs Do It Yourself
Let’s be honest, doing your own makeup for a formal can be stressful. Between getting the eyeliner even, choosing the right foundation, and hoping it holds up under photos, dancing and party lights, there’s a lot that can go wrong.
As a professional makeup artist, I take the guesswork (and panic) out of the process. With a decade of experience and premium products in my kit, I create long-lasting, photo-ready makeup that’s designed specifically for high-pressure events like school formals, corporate functions, and weddings. From soft glam to full glam, I know how to enhance your features, match your makeup to your dress and lighting, and make sure you still feel like you.
When you book with me, you’re not just getting makeup, you’re getting calm energy, attention to detail, and a smooth experience that lets you enjoy your day from the very first brush stroke. No rushing, no last-minute touch-ups, and definitely no stress about whether your foundation is going to slide off mid-dance.
If you want makeup that looks incredible all night long and feels like a true reflection of your personal style, going professional is 100% worth it.
