Moving to Newcastle to study a Degree in Communication, Chelsea, now 25, has called Newcastle, NSW home for the last 6 years.
Most recently, thanks to ‘Covid-19,’ Chelsea having had more time on her hands, has reignited her passion with make-up.
‘I remember liking makeup from a pretty young age and then “using” it when I was about 14/15.’
In High School, Chelsea often leant on the application of makeup to give her a confidence boost, and a sense of security.
‘Turning lemons into lemonade,’ Chelsea managed to turn her insecurities into a creative outlet and now, one of her many passions.
Becoming more adventurous with makeup looks and designs, Chelsea, in lock down - decided her makeup was too good to be wasted sitting on the couch, so ‘…I decided to create my Instagram account shaved_face..’
Now, Chelsea’s talents are shared with the world.

Inspired by The Tia Hoody, in Purple Arizona, Chelsea designed and created the perfect ‘BB Approved,’ - Extremely Extra, Bold Eye look.
Managing to include all the colours in the print, watch below as Chelsea creates magic…
‘Bec’s stunning design was the perfect inspiration for a bold makeup look. The Purple Tia Hoody has so many complementing colours, half the job was already done for the makeup.
This look actually came to me one night when I couldn’t sleep and I ended up writing it in my note half delirious.
I’m super proud of this look and I hope I did Bec’s beautiful design justice.’
Date night, girls night, family dinner, celebrations, work, or even to pop to down to the shops to grab the milk and butter - We adore this look Chels, we cant wait to recreate it.

Makeup is done, Hoody is on, where are you heading?

CE - Two things 1. It looks amazing. 2. It’s super comfy. I literally spent the entire day in it, doing and filming makeup, walking the dog, cooking dinner etc.
