ABOUT ME

Hey, I’m Danee - Your Magic Creator

I’m a makeup artist & hairstylist, beauty disruptor, creator and 90s tragic, with a penchant for glitter.

I’m a trivia nerd, cheese obsessor, and self-love advocate, with nearly a decade of clocked miles in the beauty biz. I love vintage threads, lilac eyeshadow, red lipstick, roadtrippin’ and sunshine.

Killer Queen was born of my insatiable love for empowering others to walk their own line and celebrate their fierce selves!

I’m a HUGE advocate for smashing beauty standards, living life by your own rules and loving yourself sick!

And I’m motivated as a mofo to ensure all my Killer Queens feel fabulous, relaxed and confident AF in themselves- no matter your age, size or anything else!

Now let’s grab a tequila and shake things up, queen!

We spread a loud, bold message of empowerment; to walk your own path and back yourself.

We're for the ones who go their own way!

A little about who I am…

+ one part

creative magic maker

With Killer Queen, I fuse my experience in the beauty & creative industries with a burnin' hot passion for helping + empowering others.

+ a BIG dash of

rebel + maverick

I truly believe that life is all about breaking the rules, walking your own path and celebrating your uniqueness.

+ a healthy dose of…

workin’ mama

My most favorite role and the one that drives me the most is of course that of a mama.

I started Killer Queen after the birth of my son in 2016. It fuelled me to take stock of what I wanted to do, and the type of life I wanted to create.

Becoming a mum filled me with a motivation + drive to be the best version of me I can be, and to follow my own path no matter what!

with love, Danee Bolan
