The best costume in the room.

Full face and body work for adults across Brisbane and surrounds. Not a butterfly in sight.

Gaia is a qualified beauty therapist who paints. That means a steady hand, the hygiene habits that come with the day job, and someone who understands how a face is actually put together, which is the difference between a costume and a transformation.

What she takes on

Work

  1. Halloween

    The big one. Full skull work, wounds, and whatever you have seen and want copied.

  2. Costume and dress-up parties

    Themed nights where a wig and a good coat are not enough.

  3. Clubs and events

    Roaming or a station on the night. Gaia works fast in a dark room.

  4. Corporate and community events

    Brand activations, staff parties, launches.

  5. Festivals and markets

    Glitter, UV-friendly colour and full face work.

  6. Photoshoots and body paint

    Full body and torso work for shoots. The skeleton above is hers.
