Fresh, photo-ready formal makeup by Chelsea Crocos, Perth

School ball & formal makeup, done right

A school ball is a big night — and the photos last forever. Chelsea Crocos creates fresh, flattering formal makeup that looks like the best version of you, photographs beautifully, and lasts from pre-drinks photos right through to the last dance.

Looks are always age-appropriate: a clean, glowing base, soft or defined eyes, and a lip to match your dress — never heavy or ageing.

Gentle on young skin, tough on the night

Young skin needs a careful touch. Chelsea preps gently and chooses long-wear products suited to sensitive and breakout-prone skin, so your makeup feels comfortable, looks fresh in every photo, and survives a whole night of dancing.

Get ready together

Formals are more fun with friends. As a fully mobile artist, Chelsea comes to one house and works to a timeline so the whole group is camera-ready together. Marking another big night soon? See special-occasion makeup for birthdays, races and events.

Frequently asked questions

How much does school ball makeup cost in Perth?
Chelsea's formal and school-ball makeup starts from $150 per person, including lashes. Groups of friends getting ready together are welcome and priced per person, with a travel fee depending on your location.
When should I book school ball makeup?
Book as early as you can. Perth's school ball season clusters into a few busy months, and weekend dates fill quickly — once you know your ball date, it's worth locking in your time.
Is the makeup okay for sensitive or breakout-prone skin?
Yes. Chelsea preps gently and chooses products suited to younger and sensitive skin, building a fresh, comfortable finish rather than anything heavy or cakey.
Can you do natural makeup, not heavy?
Absolutely — most formal looks are soft and fresh. Bring a couple of photos and Chelsea will keep it flattering and age-appropriate, exactly as light or as glam as you'd like.
Can my friends and I get ready together?
Yes — group bookings are popular for formals. Chelsea comes to one house and runs a timeline so the whole group is ready for photos together.
