Fave quote: Be kind as you may be the nicest thing to happen in someone’s day.
Tell us something most people don't know about you? There are many things; perhaps that I love to go the movies or coffee dates alone is a random pass time most people don’t enjoy.
Corissa Ivory is a woman who does it all. She’s a successful business owner, authentic make-up artist and, often, a therapist for the clients who sit in her salon chair. Beyond her profession, she’s a wife to Jason, her cherished husband of 20 years, mum to her beloved 14-year-old son Logan, and proud dog mum to 13-year-old Mickey.
Interestingly, Corissa’s career began in hospitality, where she proudly made “the best cappuccinos in town as a teenager,” before mastering the art of carrying three beers in one hand. From there, she moved into the corporate world while quietly building her beauty skills and growing Funk It Up into the respected business it is today.
Twenty years later, Corissa has created a thriving makeup artistry empire alongside a passionate team dedicated to helping people feel beautiful for every occasion.
A lifelong Mackay local, she treasures quiet moments by the beach, time with family and friends, and cheering on Logan through his many interests. Determined, introverted and honest, Corissa says becoming a mother has been both the greatest gift and the greatest adventure of her life.
