Melissa Maier Make Up Artist

I came into the world of professional makeup after spending over five years in the modelling industry. Throughout my modelling career I learned about the art of makeup and the ways in which different colours and styles could completely change a person’s appearance.

I was intrigued by the power of makeup and worked to learn about the artistic nature of makeup artistry as well as its physical and psychological influences.

I believe that your face and makeup are an extension of who you are and create looks that draw attention to your best features. In doing this, I use makeup to create a story and animate your thoughts and feelings.

I know that makeup is about more than just providing a service, so I take time to look at individual facial bone structure including lip shape, eye shape, skin colour, tone and texture to personalise your look while also taking into account age etiquette, occasion and personality to match your makeup to the event.

It was during my time modelling for the Australian Bridal Company that I developed a passion for elegant makeup to enhance a bride’s natural beauty rather than change their look.

My mission is to help make you look as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside!
