MAKE-UP BY INÈZ
cruelty-free hair & makeup artist
“my priority is that every single client leaves with a smile on their face”
Hi! My name is Inèz. I’m a professionally trained makeup artist and hair stylist, originally from The Netherlands and now based north of Melbourne in Castlemaine, Australia (also followed training in both countries).
Known as a perfectionist and wanting my work to be impeccable, I believe good communication is key to a happy client. Together with the client (you!) I will determine what look they’re after and what suits them, ensuring they are 100% satisfied with the end result. Well over 100 Google and Facebook reviews are showing the client love 💖. I’m known for the natural looks I often do, whether that be for actors in productions or private clients wanting to look fresh, beautiful, glowy and/or glamorous, but look ‘like themselves’.
In my first year as a makeup artist I was able to participate in the Benelux Beauty Awards and received third prize in my first ever competition. In 2014, while travelling through Australia, I also won the Brisbane RAWards Makeup Artist of the Year.
My experience includes brides, bridesmaids, film, TV, commercials, music videos, lookbooks, formal and special occasion, photoshoots, male to female transformation, workshops, masterclasses, 1-on-1 advice, editorial and runway.
Cruelty-free & sustainable
Another passion I have is working cruelty-free and sustainable. I care about animals and the environment. In my kit you’ll only find good quality, for a large part professional, cruelty-free makeup & hair products. Read more about my cruelty-free journey in this blog post. 99% of the products are vegan-friendly and completely vegan makeup & hair styling is available.
I also try to be mindful of the waste involved with my work, for example by using less disposable and more reusable tools, non-plastic q-tips, and by using towels instead of tissues. If my empty product packaging can’t be reused, I save it up for recycling with TerraCycle.
I’m a proud ambassador for eco-ethical weddings with Less Stuff More Meaning, a wedding community that cares for people and planet.
Volunteering
Outside of paid work, I like to help others by volunteering where I can. At the moment I volunteer for Look Good Feel Better (helping Australians face cancer with confidence), My Wedding Wish (gifting weddings to the terminally ill) and inTouch (multicultural centre against family violence). I’m also a foster carer for dogs for several animal rescues – but that’s on pause at the moment as we are taking a break after fostering Seeing Eye Dog pup Vinson.
The cruelty-free shop
At my home studio in Castlemaine, and on my online cruelty-free shop, I stock hand-picked Australian brands Shanghai Suzy, NEEK Skin Organics, ECO Minerals and Frankie Cosmetics – all are cruelty-free, vegan, non-toxic and Australian-made.
