Who's behind the brushes?

Want to turn every head on your special day? Need glam for a music video, production or editorial shoot? My name is Nipona, I've been in this industry for almost 20 years and I love my job! UK is my home but I've had the pleasure of working in the USA; video work, celeb makeovers & TV amongst other things. I've built up tons of hair & makeup experience through the years and have seen many happy clients. Until 2019 I worked at MAC Cosmetics as a Retail Artist and as part of their Pro Artist Team where I got to work London Fashion Week for a second time! In the chapter after MAC I worked on 'The Grinch Musical!' which was filmed for Tv during the pandemic and have also worked on Films made for Amazon Prime, as well as immersive live shows in London.

I'm based in the South of England but will travel to where I am needed​. I qualified through Delamar Academy, next to Ealing Studios in London. I offer Hair, Makeup, SFX and from time to time a little Henna. A lot of clients worry about an artist's experience with skin tones, please take a look at my portfolio, your mind will be put at ease when you see that skin tones are not an issue for me. I cover all types of makeup application from Bridal Beauty for all wedding types to Theatrical & Casualty Makeup.

My passion for creativity, artistic flair and an eye for detail is what led me to become a Makeup Artist, I'm not ashamed to say I'm a perfectionist! I take a lot of pride in my work, I try to bring a unique and artistic touch to every job and I strive for perfection & customer satisfaction. I do not rely on retouch, I like my work to be as perfect as it can be! I always try to stay current with trends & learn new techniques, my skills get better with every year that goes by. Makeup was always the only thing I truly wanted to do, so I took that leap and here I am now. I am a friendly, passionate & professional artist, I work well alone or as part of a team.
