Bridget Ioannou Makeup Artist

Beauty – Perth

Bridget Ioannou, Perth based Diploma trained makeup artist. Specialising in, Festival makeup, Formal events, Photography, Avant Garde, Editoral, Remedial Camouflage, Theatre and Special Effects. My first ever inspiration was when participating in dancing concerts and having mum apply makeup on me and wanted to take over and apply it to myself. Ever since that day I was intrigued with makeup, as soon as I realised this is a career pathway I could take during attending a career Expo I knew right away that I wanted to see where this could take me in the future. I immediately signed up to attend WA academy to complete a Certificate II in year 10 2013. I finished my studies graduated school and enrolled to complete a Diploma in Specialist Makeup. Doing this course has opened up my opportunities, I enjoyed all aspects of the course tested myself in ways I didn't think i could achieve in makeup. My view on makeup has expanded it isn't just makeup it is art and weather it is enhancing someones beauty, creating a piece of art in body painting or turning makeup into something out of this world. I now am a Freelance makeup artist based in Perth, have taken part in WAIHS awards collaborating with a hair artist, models and fashion designer doing makeup on three models for different themes looks. Have done some photoshoots, have a growing client base and I am aspiring to take part in any opportunity given to expand my work and test my ability in the industry, work with new talented artists who have different views and ideas to collaborate with. The future can be what you make it and thats what inspires me.
