What does a typical day look like for you?

“I rarely ever have a typical day. My work changes every day. I could be up extremely early heading to the airport for a shoot the following day or heading to the gym and working on emails and upcoming jobs. 

“In my spare time being that I’m so busy I like to relax, catch up with my girlfriends and pamper myself.”

What is your best travel beauty tip?

“Make sure to always bring moisturizer and eye masks whilst travelling. This will keep you hydrated and looking fresh when you land. 

“I also like to bring my own silk pillowcase to be hygienic and help with anti-ageing.”

What is your daily skincare routine?

“I cleanse my skin with Mario Badescu seaweed cleaning soap or Dr. Barbara Sturm darker skin tone cleanser. I follow with Mario Badescu glycolic acid toner. This toner is best because it balances out my oily skin.Lastly, I moisturize with an SPF Barbara Sturm and use a cleu de peau eye cream.”

What is the best beauty tip you have learnt backstage or from a makeup artist?

“To use one feature on your face as your main feature. Meaning choose your eyes, lips or cheeks to accentuate your full makeup look.”

What is your everyday uniform? 

“I love simple and classic pieces. A uniform that you can dress up from day to night. The pieces from my Johansen collaboration are a great example of the type of outfits and clothing I like to wear. Every item you can wear from day to night, they are simple and classic.”

Where is your favourite place in Australia and what do you miss most while travelling?

“My favourite place in Australia would definitely be home! I always look forward to seeing my family and enjoying my mums home cooking. There is nothing better.”

What is your ultimate dream travel destination?

“I would love to travel to Fiji or Tahiti. I love anywhere there is a beautiful beach with crystal blue water. I feel at peace.”

What is your best tip for taking a great Instagram photo?

“Find the best lighting, a simple background and focus on one main feature (selfie, accessory or fashion styling image).”
