Make-up artist launches label

Peninsula resident Ms Jamie Altavilla has launched her own make-up label Narcissus.

Ms Altavilla said the make-up range is inspired by Elizabeth Taylor's portrayal of Cleopatra with "Egyptian style eyeliner and violet eyeshadow".

Ms Altavilla, 22, of Ettalong Beach has also launched herself as a make-up artist on the Peninsula.

She said that she is available for any special occasion, particularly school formals and weddings.

"It is instant glamour," Ms Altavilla

"After courses on make-up and fashion design, I became fascinated with the idea of launching my own range."

Ms Altavilla said there is a broad range of vibrant colours, from bold red to hot pinks, to choose from.

The Narcissus label has false eyelashes, foundation, lipstick, blush, bronzers, eyeliners and mascara available.
