I did my own soft glam bridal makeup. Partly because I eloped so I didn’t have anyone to call on in Como for the job, but partly because I like what I like, and I know how to do it. It was always a red lip for me 💋 Here’s everything I used: • @stilacosmetics Blurring & Smoothing Primer • @chanel.beauty N°1 De Chanel Revitalizing Foundation • @armanibeauty Power Fabric + • @smashboxcosmetics Photo Finish Intensify Eye Primer • @meccamax Life Proof Concealer • @lauramercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Au Naturel and Amethyst • @armanibeauty Eye Tint Liquid Shadow in #22 • @sisleyparisofficial La Ligne Noire Eyeliner • @charlottetilbury Exaggereyes Mascara • @rarebeauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Happy • @armanibeauty Luminous Silk Glow Blush in #50 • @urbandecaycosmetics Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray • @lauramercier Translucent Setting Powder, • @holmebeauty Alignment Lip Liner in Frida @Herm ès Rouge Hermès Limited Edition Matte Lipstick in Rouge Feu #bridalmakeup #bridalmakeupinspo #softglambridal #softglammakeup #diybridalmakeup #bridedoesownmakeup #weddingmakeupinspiration #australianbride #australianbeauty

Getting lost in foreign cities, eating lemon gelato, and wearing polka dots. The always-on-holiday energy I’m bringing into 2026 started in October and will remain that way until further notice. Perfect little polkadot dress from @forevernew_official , perfect backdrop c/o Torino, Italy. #torino #turin #holidayenergy

Two French icons and a girl who loves beautiful makeup. This limited edition, oversized @chanel.beauty Enchanted Night Eyeshadow and Blush Palette from the Holiday 2024 Collection came with me to Paris because it’s perfect. Designed as a multi-tasker (perfect for travel) you can use the shades interchangeably on lids, as a highlight, or as a blush—or mix them together. I would usually gravitate to the coppery-coral shade, but the combination of a pop of fuschia blush on the cheeks with a wash of shimmery silver over the lids is what I’m calling festive chic, and will hereby be my entire holiday-season personality. —Sarah #glossetc #chanelbeauty #cometescollective #chanelholiday2024 #chanelmakeup @welovecoco @chanelofficial

When you’re a writer, mother, beauty editor, creator and founder, some weeks look like this— Monday: lunch with @sukinskincare @chemistwarehouseaus Tuesday: hearing about the incredible @witcheryfashion @ocrf white shirt campaign. There were many tears. Followed by a visit to @diptyque to experience their reimagined candles and 5 new scent iterations. Wednesday: seeing all the latest at the @ampr_group showings. Thursday: breakfast with @willowandblake listening to incredible women speak about running their businesses (yes you @phoebeactually ). And then in the evening the girls were girling. A sexy and chic girls night @maison_batard to celebrate @kat_thelabel Marilyn Monroe collection. Friday: Visited @theordinary Markup Marché a pop up designed to show you what luxury markups look like. Then, sped back across town for my preppie’s Mother’s Day performance. Saturday: ⚰️💀 Sunday: Mother’s Day lunch with my favourite humans. #aweekinthelife #aweekinmylife #beautyeditor

Happiest when I’m out of office — and out of town. All my favourite people wearing @hunterboots.anz

Turns out, I’m just a simple 1.5ct champagne diamond kind of girl. Condolences to my savings. 💍 @kateandkole

My trad wife era A couple weeks ago @cobakespace celebrating the launch of @carolinaherrera Good Girl Jasmine Absolute (a rich syrupy gourmand with toffee jasmine and Tonka bean for a creamy sort of vanilla flair) by decorating bespoke cakes with each of these notes. Clever, fun, chic: perfect recipe for an event. It’s #3 for all the action #beautyevent #beautyeditor #eventlife

GRWM: beauty editor edition My mornings are… not calm (any mum will tell you that), but there are few things that are always constant: coffee, yoga, getting out of activewear (and into “real clothes”) and my skincare routine (non-negotiable). For the last six weeks, that routine has been @vichylaboratoires_aunz , a 94-year-old French brand that I used to smuggle in on my trips to France, but now has launched for real in Australia. I’m not alone in my love for the brand — and 80k dermatologists recommend* it too. The formulas combine science with mineral-rich Vichy thermal water, 100% pure and natural volcanic water sourced from the French Auvergne region, creating products that love your skin barrier and give you results without the aggressive actives. This is the LiftActiv Collagen Specialist 16 range, which taps into the “longevity” skincare trend that’s everywhere now. to work on 16 signs of ageing, including collagen depletion and loss of firmness and elasticity. I’ve been layering the Collagen 16 Serum, Eye Cream and Day Cream under makeup (dreamy), because we all know every cute look starts with the best quality base layer possible (hint: that’s juicy, hydrated skin). *Survey conducted among the dermocosmetic market carried out by APLUSA and other partners between January - June 2025, involving dermatologists in 31 countries. #glossetc #vichylaboratoiresaunz #collagen16 #meandmycollagen #ad

Leaving this here for anyone who needs it: a private fragrance consultation @libertineparfumerie to find your new scent is all a girl wants. Bubbles, optional, falling in love with at least five new fragrances, unavoidable. Forward accordingly

One perfect dress. No styling required. @harris_tapper 🤍 #effortlessstyle #minimalstyle #everydaystyle #styleinspo #modernfemininity
