I am a mom of two beautiful boys and I have a fantastic husband who supports me in every way. I am also a professional makeup artist from Pretoria who specialises in wedding makeup. 

I started my journey into the wonderful world of make-up in 1998.  At that stage, it was a hobby, but I loved it so much, that in 2005 I decided to make my hobby a career and I’ve never looked back. 

One of the highlights of my career was receiving the Top Vendor Wedding Award in the category Best Bridal Make-up for 2016.  In 2017, 2018 as well as 2019 I was nominated again and ended up being one of the finalists in the category Best Styled Make-up. To be in the top 5 amongst the country’s best is an absolute honour and priviledge!

In 2018 I was chosen by Catrice as one of the makeup artists working with the Mrs South Africa project, an exceptional honour for me!

I believe that makeup is the most incredible tool to enhance beauty and to accentuate your best assets.

Similar to the transformation of a butterfly, makeup can and should be used to transform you into the most beautiful version of you. Nothing fake, not a different person, just beautiful you.

In a world where it is a struggle to find the truth, now is the time to be real, to be authentic, to be YOU!

Welcome to Authentic Artistry by Minette. To me, every bride is special and I feel so privileged that I am able to be part of your special day!

Because I work in collaboration with some very talented hairstylists, I can offer you a more comprehensive service that includes both make-up and hair on the day.
