• Maintain meticulous technique and a pristine, professional studio environment, ensuring every look is executed flawlessly with care and attention to detail.
• Provide a warm, luxurious experience that helps clients feel relaxed and pampered.
• Maintain a deep understanding of professional beauty products and tools, recommending and applying those best suited to each client’s unique needs.
• Skilled in precise colour matching & flawless eyelash application.
• Maintain strict sanitization of tools and keep a tidy, organized workstation at all times.

• Experienced makeup artist with a portfolio that demonstrates exceptional skill, versatility, and a keen eye for detail.

• You understand how makeup performs under studio lighting and know how to enhance features subtly but powerfully.
• Must currently hold a valid Barbicide Certification, or obtain the certification prior to starting employment with Nuovo.
