Skin Nutrition — Southern Highlands Hair and Makeup

A healthier approach to beauty.

My passion is about helping guide you to show up with confidence in your glorious body, in your beautiful skin.

It’s time to not just look but feel your best.

As a makeup artist, I’ve been asked to solve everything from pesky wrinkles and the ‘bags under my eyes’ to those unexpected pre-wedding ‘breakouts’. While makeup can go a long way to smoothing skin imperfections, it got me thinking..

Is there better way to achieve healthy glowing skin?

For me, makeup is about play, creativity and self-expression. It’s not always about having the need for a full face of make-up in order to feel normal and acceptable to the world.

I decided I wanted to go deeper and understand more about the skin. I wanted to know if there was a way to achieve that inner glow and confidence before any need to apply all the products.

“Our skin is a living breathing organ with cells that depend on good nutrition to stay healthy.

But it can be the last in line to get nourished - hello dark circles, dry skin, acne, eczema, rosacea, premature ageing, breakouts and irritations.

While makeup can conceal and highlight our features, it’s our health on the inside that gives us that radiant glow.

As a clinical nutritionist, I help get nutrition back to your skin”

I have suffered with adult acne for well over a decade, but after meeting and working with Michelle on some simple changes and following her advice it has cleared up completely.

I really enjoyed Michelle's workshop. Not only were there delicious and healthy treats and smoothies, she went over the best natural cosmetics on the market, how to apply them and how to enhance your natural beauty from within. A wonderful, soulful workshop.

“Detox was brilliant, I felt healthy (sounds silly but that pretty much sums up how I felt!), more alert and generally better more steady moods once I had settled into it. My skin was clearer too. Thanks so much for your amazing work making me look beautiful at the wedding and getting me healthy in the lead up! It's made for the best memories.”
