Keune Foundation Ball
Creating Spooktacular Looks for the Keune Foundation Ball
Last year, I had the opportunity to create striking makeup looks for two groups of talented hairdressers attending the Keune Foundation Ball 2024 in Sydney. With the theme of The Keune Family (in honour of the Addams Family), the event was a perfect playground for my creativity and passion for makeup artistry.
Channelling the essence of Wednesday’s gothic glamour and everything all together ooky, I embraced bold colours like deep reds and blacks, alongside dramatic contouring and special effects makeup to bring these spooky looks to life.

This year the 19th Annual Keune Foundation Ball is back, and it's set to be sensational! Held on Sunday, 8th June 2025 at 8 pm at 18 Argyle Street, The Rocks, Sydney. The theme is Born in the 90s, presenting an incredible opportunity to unleash your inner nostalgia and creativity.
For this fab theme, think bold! Here are some makeup ideas that will make you the life of the party:
Grunge Glam: Go for a smoky eye with earthy tones, adding a hint of a bold lip (think deep purple or a classic brown). Perfect for channelling the iconic 90s rock stars.
Pop Princess Vibes: Embrace shimmery pastels for a soft look reminiscent of the bubblegum pop idols, accented with winged eyeliner and glossy lips.
Rave Ready: Bring out the neon colours! Try a bright blue and yellow eye look, paired with glittery highlighter that captures the ultra-vibrant essence of 90s rave culture.
Classic 90s Supermodel: Think fresh-faced with bronzed skin and a hint of blush, paired with bold brows and a soft nude lip — channeling the likes of Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell.
Spice Girls Inspired: Each look can pay homage to a different Spice Girl; from Sporty’s sporty smudged eyeliner to Scary’s fierce exaggerated lashes, this is a fun way to stand out!
Book a session with me for this year’s ball. Let’s create something unique that perfectly complements your ensemble. Get ready to strut your stuff at the Keune Foundation Ball, be bold, and show off those killer looks!
