Top 3 Toronto Makeup + Hair Artists
All of the following makeup artists are stunningly talented — and we know talent. We’ve seen thousands of extremely talented people come through our studio doors. Noteworthy is that the following makeup artists also do hair (some more than others), so if your hairstylist fails to show up during a critical shoot, you’ll have some saving grace in these 3 makeup artists who can not only make your shoot a great success *in Borat voice, of course*, but also potentially save your shoot from crashing and burning in case of a no-show hairstylist.
We suggest following them on Instagram, reaching out to them, and keeping them on your roster. You never know when you’ll need a solid makeup artist in your back pocket!
Amy Wittavat
Amy is a phenomenal person who we’ve had the great pleasure of working with, a LOT. She charges a fair rate, is always early, super professional, and she is always on point. Seriously, we don’t know how she does it. She is also consistently paying attention to fine details while shooting, careful to always interject at JUST the right time, every time. She does both makeup AND hair, and she has a knack for styling and posing. To be honest, Amy would actually make for an awesome photographer as well, because her ability to take her vision and communicate it to fresh/new models and bring them out of their shell is beyond words. Hands down, even though this list isn’t in any particular order, Amy definitely takes spot #1 of our favourite makeup and hair artists.

Melanie Viger aka MUAVEE
Melanie started her own makeup studio and now contracts other artists out of her space. She’s really hit it big time. She’s worked with a lot of celebs and she’s internationally known. We’ve had the great pleasure of working with her on multiple occasions, and she’s always excelled.
