HANNELE HERTTUA

I'm Beauty Therapists and Professional Makeup Artist at Beautyateljee ’Herttuattaren Kauneuspilkku’ in Helsinki, Finland. I've been Key Makeup Artist on feature films, television, commercials, theatres, fashion shows, photo shoots and various projects and worked for private clients, celebrities, photographers, directors, advertising agencys, production companys, studios, enterprises etc. "The Art of Characted Makeup lies in the skill of transforming a person's outer being into something different; from young to old, from radiant to exhausted, from delighted to torn apart, from gentle to grumpy, from smooth skin to bruised or scabbed skin.." - This is the skill that I also put into use while doing Beauty Makeup: bringing forth the best features and assets of the client, and hiding the less desirable ones. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it is also something that you can sense, in a mysterious way. Things like gentleness, strength, or feminine sensuality are not something that automatically come forth in a person's outer being, but with the right kind of makeup you can create and convey almost anything; a strong look in the eyes, a delicate smile on the lips, a classy line on the cheekbones, a satin finish on the skin..
