About Trish

I specialize in makeup for women 40+ who want to look polished - not overdone.

As a woman in my 50s myself, I understand firsthand how dramatically skin changes - and how frustrating it can feel when your old routine suddenly stops working. What once felt effortless can suddenly feel heavy, dated, or simply “off”.

Over the years, I began to notice something important.

Women over 40 weren’t being taught makeup that worked for them. They were being handed 25 year old advice for 45 year old skin.

That doesn’t work.

That realization is what shifted my focus.

Today, my work centres on refinement. I believe makeup should enhance, lift, and modernize without masking who you are. It should evolve with you.

My Training & Experience

I trained at the renowned Blanch Macdonald Center, graduating with honours in makeup artistry. Since then, I’ve worked with professional brands, taught aspiring artists, and served hundreds of women through weddings, editorial projects, and private lessons.

But the most meaningful evolution in my career has been specializing in mature beauty, combining professional technique with lived experience.

When you sit in my chair, you’re not getting trend-driven advice.

You’re getting thoughtful, strategic guidance designed for real life.

A Little More About Me

I’ve been married for over ten years and am a proud mother of three. I live in sooke on beautiful Vancouver Island with my husband, our cat, and our giant dog.

Island life grounds me. Travel fuels me.

In 2022, I had the opportunity to work a group of women in and around Paris. In 2023, Italy. Those experiences reinforced something I’ve always believed:

Beauty isn’t about trends.

It’s about refinement.

And refinement never goes out of style.
