VANESSA ELLES

INTERNATIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST

With almost a decade of international experience, a wealth of knowledge in makeup and skincare and a friendly personality, I have built a loyal network of clients and brands who trust me to bring their campaign or special occasion makeup to life. I’m represented by esteemed fashion and celebrity makeup agency, Creatives, where I’m regularly working alongside known TV personalities, in the music sectors and with successful fashion brands. I also run my own luxury wedding makeup business. My passion and unique skills for makeup artistry is proven in the work I’ve produced. If you have an upcoming project or event you’d like to chat to me about, I’d love to hear from you!
