The public gave more than one thousand reviews on social media for our “Best of the Gold Coast” competition and Bulletin subscribers chose Blake Designs Makeup Artistry as the winner.

Mrs Blake said being named the best in the region was “a big surprise and an honour.”

“It’s so nice to be recognised for my work,” she said.

“I love working on movie sets, and working with Lorna Jane and Sophie Guidolin. But I adore doing weddings, formals and every other event in between too.”

When asked for her best beauty hacks, Ms Blake said “less makeup makes you look younger, always dampen your beauty sponge or blender, always do your smokey eyes before putting on your foundation and make sure you buy a light and dark foundation so you always have the right colour to suit your skin throughout the year.”
