About me

Makeup is my passion.

I’m Kellie, a makeup artist working in SFX Makeup, Wigs and Hair for Film, Television, Theatre, Fashion and Editorial.

I love getting my hands dirty while making the actor beautiful or creating open wounds and infections. There's really nothing better than seeing a character design come to life. Sculpting, moulding, applying and finishing, I enjoy all of the process.
