About Me
Liz Gardiner
My mission:
To make a difference in the lives of women and men who want to be more confident, look healthier and younger wearing colour that reflects their true radiance and natural beauty.
My story:
Growing up I designed and created clothes for myself and family members, often drafting patterns from images in magazines to have the fit and look that incorporated the latest fashion trend and reflected my own style.
This love for fashion, design and colour and texture in fabrics from my early teens naturally extended into makeup. I love the added dimension makeup gives to our overall appearance. After completing advanced makeup training early on in my time as a distributor for a cosmetic company, I worked as a Makeup Artist for over 15 years. Makeup services ranged from day, formal and special occasion makeup through to weddings and occasional photographic or film assignments.
During this time I was approached to tutor in skincare and makeup. This work enabled me to develop further as a Facilitator and trainer. Over the last four years I have supported Look Good Feel Better as a facilitator for their workshops for women facing the challenge of a cancer journey.
I happily dabbled in helping friends and family with makeup, clothing choices and their individual style for many years and from these experiences my business has evolved. The encouragement of friends gave me the motivation to undertake the training required to become a Colour Consultant. I now share with clients my passion for wearing colours that best complement and flatter our complexion.
Quintessential You with Liz is my venture that offers you Colour, radiance and style inspiration – the way to show your individual & unique style and personality.
