THEO MOUSTAKAS
With our laidback approach to most things, you would not expect Australians to do skincare well. As the French daubed delicate creams, we would smear a bit of zinc on the nose and head out back to the barbie. So it is a major feat for an Australian skincare line to launch into a department store, alongside giants like Chanel and Lancome, let alone to achieve the success and status needed to open stores in the US and UK. But Toorak couple Chris and Andrea Moss have done just that. Our cover story this week is a tale of a triumphant local business built on a dynamic partnership. ●

COVER STORY

DOM A IN REV IEW
Beauty entrepreneurs Andrea and Chris Moss have shaped a dynamic personal and professional partnership. Wo r d s R AC H E L L E U N R E I C H
The perfect formulation
S
ome people emerged from Melbourne’s lockdown looking bleary-eyed, paler and heavier. Is it any wonder that plastic surgeon Chris Moss and his wife Andrea – who is also the co-founder and chief executive of the couple’s skincare centre Liberty Belle and its product range (which she also co-created) – look so dewy and dreamy that no one would guess their true ages, 56 and 52 respectively? Andrea is used to people asking pointedly and not so quietly, “WHAT DO YOU DO?” – presuming, of course, that her skilled husband has had a hand in her youthful visage. Not really. “I don’t feel any pressure to look good,” she says, knowing that wives of plastic surgeons are often under extra scrutiny. “Chris has operated on me – but it was when I dropped a bottle of wine on my toe and severed a tendon. He stitched it up while I played assistant and retracted my skin. He’ll operate on me again – when I have a facelift!” One isn’t on the cards for now; she hasn’t used anti-wrinkle injections for the past five years. “I wanted my skin to be an honest canvas to reflect the results of Liberty Belle Rx. I trashed my skin when I was young; I basically grew up on a tennis court in Gisborne and never wore sunscreen.” Now in David Jones where it has dedicated counters and staff, Liberty Belle Rx, their product range of cleansers, serums, treatments and moisturisers, is set to launch in bricks and mortar stores in the UK and US next year, and has therefore passed compliance tests of the highest standards, Andrea says. Chris already had a name as a well-known and highly regarded plastic surgeon in Melbourne. From his humble four-room office in 1999, they expanded into a compound, the Liberty Belle Skin Centre, on Toorak Road in 2008. By 2018, they launched their product range, and by Christmas, there will be 19 products in the
Surgeon Dr Chris Moss and his wife, businesswoman Andrea.
Liberty Belle Rx line, which has catchy names such as Superhero (an antioxidant moisturiser with antipollution and blue light defence), Glam Squad (a hydrating and brightening serum) and Lionheart (a citrus cleansing emulsion). But the flashiness ends there, since the Liberty Belle Rx packaging is clean and sparse, perhaps a gentle nod to its ingredients that are equally clean and efficient. Chris says he wanted to start the line because his philosophy as a plastic surgeon is one of “complete aesthetic care”. “You don’t just do things with surgery; you use the best technology for the person’s needs … The nonsurgical things, although not as powerful as surgery, do things that surgery can’t do,” he says.
Some of their plans to expand – including talks with a large US online platform – had to stop during the height of the pandemic. Domestic life got busier, and Andrea says it was a chance for her to “cook up a storm, use the recipe books I’d never had a chance to read and spend quality time with the kids”. Their eldest, Sophie, is 17, and sons Kif (a nickname for Chris) and William are 15 and 12. Once known for her stint on The Real Housewives of Melbourne where she gained a reputation for being a fervent list-maker, Andrea now calls herself the “Make It Happen” person, with Chris adding that “she’s an amazing organiser – she’s very efficient”. “She takes care of running the logistics and the whole team. She’s the most incredibly generous person to everybody, always putting everyone’s needs ahead of her own. She keeps the whole machinery running and that’s really important in the success of this, because it means I can really focus on the science.” In those two decades, much has changed in their world; even this year, when lockdown began, they noticed that more people looked to alter their
“Chris has operated on me – but it was when I dropped a bottle of wine on my toe and severed a tendon.” ANDREA MOSS ON HUSBAND, PLASTIC SURGEON CHRIS MOSS
“You can do beautiful surgery and re-contour a face, but if the skin still looks sun-damaged or has lines or looks tired – then you improve the skin surface as well.” The products he’d been using on patients were often deficient; he’d also realised, through seeing so many clients – 40,000 have been through their skin centre and suites over 20 years – what ingredients worked and what didn’t. Andrea knew that the key to success was “providing beautiful ingredients in a formulation that delivers these incredible actives to the skin in a gentle way”. She asked that the products didn’t ball under her makeup, whereas Chris’ scientific approach ensured every ingredient earned its place in the range. Andrea realised they could produce something better than the market offerings when she picked up an eye cream “and I saw that one of its ingredients was fish gonads, or something. I was like, ‘My god, what was the thinking behind that?’”
appearances, having been so much more cognisant of what they looked like on Zoom screens. Still, even though plenty of influencers post their Liberty Belle-related snaps, the couple rely on word of mouth, not ambassadors (which they don’t have). “If you look at the purchases online every month, the repeat clients are so high and they keep coming back and adding to the range,” Andrea says. “It’s the results of the skincare that’s driving its popularity,” Chris adds. How do they make their personal and professional partnerships work so well, having been working together for 19 years and married for 18? Chris says: “It’s important to have teamwork,” whereas Andrea puts it down to the stars. “I don’t know, I feel like I really lucked out, meeting Chris at Redheads [nightclub] all those years ago. I think we have the same values but very different skills.” ● ● libertybelle.com.au

TRAVEL \ BALL ARAT An easy drive to this vibrant city is an ideal day trip. As we emerge from our homes, blinking in the bright sunshine after a long period of isolation, we're all going to crave a few day trips. Ballarat will be top of the list for many. It's an easy drive from most parts of Victoria for those wanting to be home in time for dinner – a 115-kilometre coast up the highway from Melbourne. Most of us have visited Sovereign Hill at some stage. This historical park brings to life the stories from Australia’s great 1850s gold rushes. If you want something off the main trail, there are options aplenty. In fact, this gold rush city has come a long way in recent years. GREG BRIGGS

Wo r d s
First, stretch your legs with a stroll through the Ballarat Botanical Gardens. The canopy of mature trees provides a perfect shade under which to explore the heritage statutory pavilion and Ex-Prisoner of War Memorial. A brisk walk around Lake Wendouree takes about an hour. You’ll spot plenty of swans on the sixkilometre Steve Moneghetti running and walking track, named after the Olympian who calls Ballarat home. The art gallery, established in 1884, holds one of the best regional collections in the country. There are many temporary exhibitions and a great little gift shop. N I N A H E N DY
Eat Try one of the thriving restaurants that have popped up in recent years. LOLA \ The Provincial Hotel on
Lydiard Street North was dilapidated and unloved a few years ago, but it has been converted into a thriving food and accommodation hub by Channel 10 presenter Gorgi Coghlan and her husband Simon. The casual, contemporary cafe transforms into a sophisticated European-style bistro at night. The wine list features the best Victorian wines all in one spot. MR JONES DINING \ If you like

THE FORGE PIZZERIA \ If you’re
looking for something a little more casual, check out The Forge, which has taken out several awards since opening a decade ago. The menu features several wood-fired pizzas and hand-made pastas.

Take a stroll along Sturt Street. In between the local shops are plenty of real estate agents. With a median house price of $550,000, according to Domain data, Ballarat’s homes are about $325,000 cheaper than Melbourne’s median. Head to the Ballarat Wildlife Park, run by a local family who aim to educate through interactive wildlife experiences. It’s worth it just to see the meerkats and penguins. When you take your trip, check out if one of the local markets is on.
A PICNIC \ Or if you’re after a bite in the great outdoors, gather some olives, bread and cheese from The Olive Grove Delicatessen (on Sturt Street) and head to Lake Wendouree for a picnic. It’s a great vantage point to watch the sun go down before you drive home. Circumstances are changing rapidly, so please check individual websites of businesses for their operating hours and offerings now that regional travel is permitted. ●

inger Gorman knows the internet’s dark and evil underbelly only too well. The author even knows where the internet trolls who share the most hatred vitriol hang out. Her book, Troll Hunting, sheds light on the world’s most vile keyboard warriors. When researching what makes internet trolls tick, Gorman gained unprecedented access to trolls and uncovered how they’re linked to real-life crimes. She even formed strange and enduring relationships with them. Gorman wrote the book after receiving scores of hateful tweets, including a death threat. She found pictures of herself and family on a fascist website. While initially terrified, she grew curious to understand who these trolls were. As a journalist, she reached out to them, hopeful of an interview. The interviews resulted in a book that propelled her into a career speaking about her work. Troll Hunting, which uncovers links between

“There are all kinds of wondrous ways we can connect with each other online during this time, so let’s use the internet for good.” trolling and cyber-hate and real-life crimes, shot on to the best-selling list. “Predator trolls are often better educated than you expect,” Gorman says. “They aren’t necessarily motivated by what you expect. And yet the damage they do is far beyond imagination.” Once the book – which contains graphic accounts – was published, Gorman was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. “I was alone in my office, crying and drinking and trying to write this book, and it kind of got spat out into the sunlight in the most dramatic and terrifying way,” she says. “I never dreamed that it would even be read by anyone, let alone that I’d get so many messages from all around the world.” Her recovery was helped by a global movement that mushroomed on social media as readers posted messages of support for her and the book.
GINGER GORMAN
“I started getting these selfies from people who had read the book. It was like the world threw their arms around me in my darkest hour,” she says. “They wanted to support me, but they also wanted action on cyber hate.” Gorman admits more time at home and on the internet amid the COVID-19 pandemic brings with it terrible possibilities. She’s passionate about keeping people safe online and hopeful the internet can be a source of comfort in the pandemic for everyone. She has implored Australians to seek out the beautiful glimpse of kindness online and ignore the negative stories. A tweet from Gorman garnered a huge response of examples of kindness and sharing in local communities, which warmed her heart – #kindnesspandemic “There are all kinds of wondrous ways we can
connect with each other online during this time, so let’s use the internet for good,” she says. “We all need to tell these stories, to flood ourselves with light in the darkness.” Gorman is taking comfort in stories of friends and neighbours reaching out and helping each other in this time of crisis. “I would urge everyone just to be aware that our own stress and anxiety levels during this crisis. Kindness is more important than ever.” Trolls love a big news story, so be aware they could be active in the coming months, Gorman warns. “Attaching themselves to a big news story is an easy way to get attention ... there’s likely to be a proliferation of fake news due to COVID-19,” she says. Right now, Gorman craves a little time to pull back from the spotlight. “I just want to stay at home and make fried rice and bake cupcakes with my kids. I’ve got a lot to be grateful for.” ● TROLL HUNTING \ By Ginger Gorman $29.99, out now ● hardiegrant.com/au ● gingergorman.com

The kids who play in Harleston Park all know Lurgancanty. It’s that big estate right next to the park, shrouded in shrubbery, with an awesome garden for midnight feasts and villain-hunting, Harry Potter-style. Actually, kids’ games were part of Lurgancanty’s inspiration. Built in 1890-93 and named for a town in Ireland, it was the home of the Swale family, who had 11 children. Today, it’s still one of the largest estates in Elsternwick, and the only one with a north-facing garden. The Victorian villa of 15 principal rooms sits above flowers and fountains, shaded by exotic trees and with a pool in a gated, elevated lawn. Every room has a garden view, and several main rooms open to the wide wraparound verandah. Warning: This is not for minimalists. Chandeliers, marble fireplaces, glass bookcases, tasselled silk brocade and velvet curtains and a jewel palette of ruby, ivory, tourmaline green and lavender blue combine in a brilliant kaleidoscope, enhanced by a sparkling leadlight entry. Living, dining and music rooms offer rare elegance for entertaining. At the rear, the open-plan family area has french doors to a bay conservatory with a glass roof. With four bedrooms in the main house, plus staff or guest quarters in the extension, Lurgancanty will welcome a big family. The front living and music rooms are lavishly Victorian, with high ceilings and fireplaces. One door along, the study has bookcases. The main bedroom sits to the right and flows into a marble en suite and a dressing room with two eight-door wardrobes. Three more bedrooms, beautifully decorated, share a heritage-style bathroom with a clawfoot bath. The open plan, jaunty in Baltic pine, is destined to be the family hub, with a meals area opening east to the conservatory for year-round sunshine. In its own space is the kitchen, with Miele appliances amid pearl granite benchtops. The lounge has a fireplace. Walk through the laundry to the two-storey extension, where a petite lounge with kitchenette opens to the poolside pergola. There are two bedrooms. The eight-car garage has a workshop. ● ALISON BARCLAY property@domainreview.com.au Agent: Biggin & Scott, Bill Stavrakis 0418 327 622 Price: $7 million-$7.7 million Expressions of interest: close 5.30pm, December 8

The top-floor living/ dining area opens to the north-facing barbecue terrace and pool. Cooks will love the Corian kitchen’s Miele appliances, butler’s pantry and 15 metres of benchtops for banquet prep. On the first floor, four bedrooms include a kids’ own zone that opens to a courtyard, plus a bathroom and powder room. The 90-square main suite has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The ground floor’s six-car garage has room for a boat. Cbus automation and CCTV security complete a lustrous abode in the Beaumaris College zone.

The parquet open plan, with its bright living and dining areas and granite kitchen, is complemented by the home theatre, rumpus room and lounge with gas log fireplace. Children can command the east wing (three bedrooms, bathroom) while the grown-ups enjoy the westerly main suite (walk-in wardrobe, en suite.)
