Epping: Elise Vincent’s brush with fame

Elise Vincent is known among friends for her artistry with a make-up brush.

So when the 23-year-old Epping resident started working at Priceline at Epping Plaza, a love affair with make-up became a career.

After a few training courses through the store, Elise decided to pursue her new-found passion in her own time and enrolled in a make-up artistry course in Moonee Ponds.

She has since started doing make-up for weddings and special events, and practises in the store every day.

From March 14-22, she’ll be part of Priceline’s 20-person beauty team at the Melbourne Fashion Festival, where they will create hair and facial beauty for all the runway shows.

“I’ll be doing mini-makeovers, express makeovers, brow-shaping, adding eyelashes and creating perfect bright lips for the models,” Elise said.

Next year she plans to enroll at the Australian Academy of Cinemagrahic Makeup.
