My favourite part about my job is being there on the wedding morning helping the party to get ready. It’s filled with laughs, joy, and usually a whole heap of funny s**t stories. Everyone has their own version of a wedding morning set up, every style is perfect 🔥

I hope you have all felt love and joy through the previous year, no matter how big or small. I am so lucky to be able to take part in these magical days and I am forever grateful to you all for letting me do so 🧡🧡

Not only did I get to play mock-up wedding with Teegan and Lauren earlier in the year, but I was also honoured to do makeup for their legit, 3rd (?) time lucky wedding (thanks to COVID). Congratulations, beautiful humans, it was an absolute pleasure.

🌻 The face behind Riot Hera 🌻

I thought it might be time to introduce myself..
Hi! Hello! How are you?
I’m Zoe and I’m the owner of Riot Hera.
I’ve been working in weddings for over 10 years and I’ve seen justtttt about everything in that time. The good, the bad and the questionable 😅

My goal in life (personal and business) is to make people feel at ease with themselves, no matter what that definition is.

In the creation of Riot Hera, I am aiming to provide a safe space for anyone and everyone to have their makeup done. All that matters is that you walk away smiling and feeling even better than you did before.

So no matter who you are, how you identify or where you come from, let’s have some fun ✨

I look forward to laughing and loving through life with you all sometime in the future 🧡 Zoe xx
