Francois discovered make up artistry while studying art in 2003, being immensely intrigued by this art form he completed his professional make up diploma with Professional Make Up at the Make Up School. He went on to become a make up lecturer after a two year career in retail make up.

To expand on his knowledge in the cosmetic industry he started lecturing for a renowned professional hair care brand and over a two year period has done numerous hair science and styling courses.

He loves make up & hair and feels at home among all types: bridal, fashion and avant garde. Make up and hair encapsulate the artistic freedom he enjoys and his attention to detail and perfection lives on in photos.
