Antoinette Eileen is Gold Coast based, creative director working across makeup artistry, photography and Home & Lifestyle renovations & visual storytelling, defined by a refined, feminine and editorial point of view.

The Art of Beauty
At the heart of everything I create is a fascination with beauty, not only in people, but in spaces, light and atmosphere.
For more than 17 years my work has centred around helping people feel confident and inspired, whether through bridal beauty, visual storytelling or the design of a home.
Over time I realised that these worlds are more connected than they appear.
The same sensitivity to tone, texture and balance that shapes a beautiful makeup look is the same instinct that guides a thoughtfully designed space. The way natural light falls across a room is not so different from how it illuminates a face through a camera lens.
Through Antoinette Eileen, I bring these disciplines together, beauty, spaces and imagery, offering creative direction that helps ideas translate into something tangible and meaningful.
Whether it’s preparing a bride for one of the most important days of her life, capturing the atmosphere of a thoughtfully designed home, or helping guide the vision of a renovation, the intention remains the same.
To create something that feels considered, refined and quietly beautiful.
Testimonials
I could not recommend Antionette enough!
Her makeup is beautiful. She listened to exactly what I wanted and created a look that completely surpassed my expectations. I felt so confident and beautiful, and my makeup lasted perfectly all day and night. My bridesmaids all looked absolutely stunning as well, and every single one of us was so happy with the final result. The makeup photographed beautifully and still looked flawless hours later.
Antionette was really great to deal with, she genuinely cares about her brides. She went above and beyond throughout the morning, staying for touch-ups, helping wherever she could, capturing content and behind-the-scenes moments, and bringing such a positive energy & calm energy to the day. She also was so lovely offering to advocate for me during the morning if I needed it or felt overwhelmed at any point. It never felt like she was there just to do makeup and leave. She truly cared about making the whole experience special.
As a bride, you spend so much time choosing suppliers and hoping they'll be the right fit. Antoinette exceeded every expectation I had. Not only is she incredibly talented at what she does, but she is also so genuinely lovely
Thank you, Antoinette, for making me feel so beautiful on one of the most important days of my life, for taking such amazing care of my girls and me, and for being such a special part of our wedding day. I am so grateful we found you!
Seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses has paid off for the owner of this pretty-in-pink dream home.
Antoinette Idzikowski bought a neglected three-storey house and transformed it into a contemporary showstopper to be featured on TV by Grand Designs Australia.
It was one of the Gold Coast’s most-viewed homes of the week when it launched on realestate.com.au.
This home is a piece of artistry and a place where dreams come true. It is also a profitable venture, currently providing a gorgeous filming backdrop for some well-known Australian brands. A masterpiece of modern design and craftsmanship.
Antoinette was my make-up artist for my wedding on 27/11/21. All I can say is, perfection. Antoinette did myself and my 5 bridesmaids and she was just incredible. Her make-up made me feel like a princess and was everything I was hoping for and more for the big day. My bridesmaids looked so incredibly beautiful with the exact touch of sparkle I wanted. She is the loveliest human with such a soft and calm touch. Antoinette, you made me feel so beautiful. I cannot thank-you enough for everything. BEST WEDDING MAKE-UP ARTIST EVER!!!!
