NATIONAL MAKE UP ARTIST 3: Zoe Karlis


Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Zoe Karlis is a makeup artist with an extensive catalogue of work and directions - from bridal through to makeup for editorial, as well as film and TV.  Her work is bold, utilising a lot of colour and contrast, though her bridal results are flawless, understated and classical.

I selected Zoe as her background is originally overseas in London, England, before she relocated and established herself in the Australian market.  She has brought with her a strong, adaptable work ethic and has reached out to the world and the nation via youtube with many videos providing answers and advice for those make up lovers out there.  I like her attitude, resolve and that she hasn't limited herself as an artist to one look or style.  While a signature look can become a trade mark, versatility is something I personally think is important, as it translates well across mediums and ensures you think outside of the box.

A video from Youtube below on how to achieve an elegant, relatively easy, every day make up look that doesn't take too long to pull together.



And lastly, some photos which testify to her aforementioned versatility and bold use of colour.
