My Story

Welcome to my World of Make-up Artistry!

I'm Alarna, a passionate makeup artist with over 30 years of experience.

From the glamorous runways of New York Fashion Week to the exotic beaches of Bali and Vietnam, I have had the privilege of working all over the world. I am the Director of Make up for Miss Universe in 3 regions, Singapore, New Zealand and my homeland here in Australia.

  Alongside my international endeavors, I have also taught in classrooms and workshops across Australia, sharing my expertise with aspiring makeup artists.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with esteemed individuals, including Golden Globe winners, WWE Wrestling Mega Stars, even the iconic Rocky Horror Picture Show. Additionally, I have been honoured to showcase my makeup knowledge on television channels 9 and 7 here in Australia.

Over the years, I have come to realise that using the right tools is vital for achieving the desired results. After observing students and having thousands of faces in my own hands I know how discouraging it can be to not have the right tools and knowledge of how to use them correctly. 

That's why I created Alarna Makeup Solutions.

Here, you will find a curated collection of high-quality tools that are essential for flawless makeup application. To complement these tools, I provide visual guides that not only demonstrate how to use them but also explain the reasoning behind each technique.

Sharing my expertise is so rewarding, and I'm thrilled to break down every aspect of makeup artistry and share it with you. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or seeking to build on your current skills, you can also book me for personalised makeup services or join one of my classes.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am also a proud mother of two incredible daughters who constantly inspire me.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey, and I invite you to explore the world of Alarna Makeup Solutions.

Warm regards, Alarna x

Working with Miss Universe is beyond fun, I get to travel the world! Even better when my daughters are by my side. In between my girls on stage, crowning night.

Every now and then I get to dress up too! Pictured with actress Jane Seymour, who I was make up artist for while she was in Australia, and my sister Katrina.

For the most part I focus mostly on tradition methods of make up artistry, however I also teach Airbrush, Camouflage and Creative make up.
