About

Hey team, I’m Julia.

Welcome to my digital home, I'm stoked that you’ve found your way here!

I am the very proud owner of Cork & Contour and all the forms it has come to exist in. At it's roots, Cork and Contour is about  "everyday education" that aims to make popular makeup techniques and beauty hacks more approachable.

As well as offering hair and makeup services of every kind, Cork & Contour is Australia's 1st Boozy Makeup Masterclass (think the sip and paint style classes but with makeup. Fun, right?)

I’m a Makeup Artist, Hair Stylist, Educator, Content Creator, and Wine/Gin Enthusiast, and I have created Cork & Contour in a way that allows me to combine all of my skills and experience so that you get (in my opinion) the most optimised services possible.

Bridal makeup is where my heart is happiest, but anywhere I have a makeup brush in my hand is somewhere that I thrive. 

The best way to describe my hair and makeup style is balanced.

Enhanced enough to see it, but never overpowering. Appropriate to the occasion, while still allowing you to shine. Always flattering, never masking. 

I am flexible - a chameleon, if you will - to the people around me. Need a hype girl? Put me in, Coach. Quiet on set? Wall, meet Flower. A Bride-To-Be feeling all the feels? Let me (calmly) share my repertoire of techniques to bring you back into yourself. When booking with me, you get so much more than the work I produce, you get my full support.

Let’s connect

For my brides, grooms, and anyone else getting ready to celebrate their love, I am your Bridal Bestie.

Have a little peruse of my wedding packages here, and click through to find the abundance of inclusions. With over 14 years' experience in the wedding industry, I don’t take it lightly when people choose me to help them get ready for (one of) their most important days, and I do everything in my power to help make the morning as magical as possible. I am the (self-appointed) world’s best problem solver which is invaluable on your wedding day. On that day, you are my absolute priority. I’ve rearranged furniture, ironed veils, made sure shoes aren’t slippery, and held hands through the big emotions that a wedding day can bring. I take care of my clients, so you can just enjoy the moment.

For the Big Fish looking to host a Cork & Contour Masterclass Event, I have presented masterclasses in Brisbane, Sydney and the Gold Coast for up to 24 people at a time, seeing more than 140 participants over a weekend.

These workshops let me flex the $20k I spent on a teaching degree in the best way possible. Please email me at hello@corkandcontour.com for my event host pricing, inclusions, and reviews from the marketing teams I have worked with.
