About Me
My name is Alissa Maree. I completed my year long full time Diploma Course in Professional Makeup Artistry in 1998 at one of Sydney’s premier makeup colleges, Film Makeup Technology (now called ACMUSE – Australian College of Makeup and Special Effects). I have worked as a freelance makeup artist since, across all makeup fields.
My experience in the film industry includes:
– Working with International Award Winning Director Justin Case (Oscar short-listed, nominated for Palmes d’Or at Cannes, Winner Best film at the Toronto Film Festival).
– Working on distinguished Australian actor Arthur Dignam (known best for The Devil’s Playground (1976), but more recently, Moulin Rouge(2001) and Australia( 2008)).
– Feature Film Babe 2
– And many Tropfest and private films
My experience in the TV industry includes:
– Channel TEN – Stand TV, Chief makeup Artist
– Corporate Videos for The Prince of Wales Hospital
– Corporate commercials and documentaries
International Dream Beautiful Contest:
I made the top 50 finalist list (Aus/NZ) in the International Mary Kay Dream Beautiful makeover contest out of 1300 entries from Aus/NZ in 2014.
Other Experience:
I have had extensive experience in Bridal and Photographic makeup (including photographers Suzie Mitchell at Patrick Jones Studio and Paul Britton), I worked at the Sydney Hair Expo, and was employed as a Makeup Artist at Hairacy Hair and Makeup.
And with the building of my own studio, I am now empowering women of all ages with the skills and confidence to apply their own makeup like a professional!
My Make-up Style and Philosophy:
My style is natural fresh beauty with a touch of glamour. I believe every woman is beautiful and as a makeup artist it’s my job to help clients feel confident with their appearance and make them feel beautiful (as well as look beautiful!). I am now centering my business around private one on one Makeup Masterclasses to teach teens and ladies how to do professional looking makeup on themselves. I also provides services for formal, special occasion and fancy dress makeup.
I believe that beauty does not just mean attractive facial features, but rather beauty is something that we exude from deep within. It is a contentment and confidence in oneself, someone with a beautiful heart and a positive outlook on life.
