About
Thoughtful beauty, grounded wellness, and effortless femininity for women who want to feel radiant, confident, and fully themselves.
Where Beauty Meets Vitality
I’ve always been drawn to beauty — not perfection, but the kind that makes you feel more alive inside your own life.
The feeling of sunlight on skin. Long dinners outdoors. Strong healthy bodies. Beautiful fabrics. Fresh flowers in the kitchen. Wind through long hair. A calm nervous system. Thoughtfully prepared food. Natural light pouring through windows. A face that still looks like you, only softer, brighter, more rested. Beauty that feels lived in, embodied, and deeply human.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by transformation — not the kind that asks women to become someone else, but the kind that helps them return to themselves with more confidence, vitality, softness, and self-expression.
My work has always been rooted in the belief that beauty and wellness are deeply connected. How we move our bodies. How we care for our skin. The environments we create. The rituals we return to. The energy we carry. The way we allow ourselves to be seen.
Over the years, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to a slower, more intentional approach to beauty — one that values health, ease, sensual femininity, and natural confidence over harsh perfection or performance. I believe the most magnetic women are not necessarily the most polished, but the most connected to themselves.
I’m endlessly inspired by the intersection of glamour and groundedness. I love beauty that feels effortless yet intentional. Refined but never rigid. Soft, strong, expressive, and alive.
Whether through makeup education, curated products, beauty services, or the atmosphere we create at Prête Studio, my goal is always the same:
to help women feel beautiful in a way that feels authentic, nourishing, and fully their own.
Because beauty, to me, is never just about appearance.
It’s about vitality.
Presence.
Confidence.
Pleasure.
Self-respect.
And creating a life that feels beautiful to live inside.

From professional makeup artistry to wellness training and international beauty education, my work is rooted in helping women feel vibrant, confident, and fully themselves.
The Path That Shaped My Work
My path into beauty has always been shaped by a fascination with transformation, self-expression, wellness, and human connection.
My early career began in professional makeup artistry with the iconic MAC Cosmetics, where I developed a strong technical foundation and a love for helping women feel confident and seen.
From there, my work expanded beyond appearance alone. I completed professional life coach training through the Coaches Training Institute, deepening my understanding of confidence, identity, and personal growth. Later, my studies brought me to Tulum, Mexico, where I completed Vinyasa Flow yoga teacher training and immersed myself in a more holistic philosophy of beauty, health, movement, and embodied living.
As my vision evolved, I launched my own independent cosmetics brand, Adrienne Furrie Beauty — creating products, educational experiences, and beauty services rooted in effortless, real-world beauty.
Most recently, I completed advanced makeup artistry training in Paris, France continuing my commitment to refining my craft while drawing inspiration from fashion, artistry, and timeless femininity.
Today, my work blends decades of experience in beauty, education, wellness, and transformation — with an approach that is both highly practical and deeply personal.
"Excellent service with someone who knows her ‘stuff’. Product recommendations complimented my existing beauty regime perfectly." ~ Susan Van Niekerk
"Adrienne was so lovely to work with and I now know how to do my own eye makeup for events!
We did a group lesson for myself and my two daughters who are just getting into makeup and it was incredibly helpful for all 3 of us at the different stages of our make up journeys and with our different complexions and skin tones.
The colour matching was spot-on and we love our new products. I would highly recommend Adrienne!" ~ Heather Nolan
"Adrienne's team did my make up for a speaking event and made me feel so confident, taking the pressure off for being in front of a big group. Would highly recommend Adrienne's services in her calm and welcoming studio!" ~ Andrée Roberts
