About Saskia

My name is Saskia Aleksa Mulligan, I’m a Makeup Artist based on the Central Coast, NSW, and I offer a diverse array of in studio and mobile services where I am available for travel in and around Central Coast, Sydney and beyond.

My journey into makeup artistry traces back to my early days as a dancer, where mastering applying my own makeup became integral. I grew up loving to draw and paint and excelled in art in school—makeup quickly became one of my favourite mediums. Over the years my passion and love for self expression through makeup application grew as I started to crave sharing my artistry with others.

Formally trained, I completed my Certificate in Makeup Artistry in May 2023, followed by a Diploma in Screen and Media from the Academy of Makeup, Sydney, in December 2023. Alongside my studies, I honed my craft as a Seasonal Casual Beauty Advisor at Sephora, where I deepened my expertise in product knowledge and collaborated closely with clients to achieve their beauty goals. Since then I have been lucky enough to further my career as a Makeup Artist working on Film & TV sets, weddings, runway, theatre and various other shoots. Beyond makeup, my passion lies in the performing arts. This background has deepened my appreciation for the artistry of makeup, enriching my approach to every client.

I offer a variety of makeup services, including bridal makeup, event makeup, photoshoot and performance makeup upon request. When it comes to my own personal style, a lot of my artistry inspiration comes from celebrity red carpets, films and fusing timeless makeup looks with modern trends. I love creating a flawless, camera-ready look that lasts, shows up amazing both in photographs and in person, while enhancing my clients' natural beauty. I am able to seamlessly accommodate to the makeup needs of clients of all ages, skin types, and tones. I prioritise collaborating with each client, ensuring they leave feeling even more beautiful than when they arrived.

Makeup is more than cosmetics to me; it's a means of self expression and identity—It’s about feeling comfortable and confident in one's own skin and unleashing your creativity. As an actor and performer, I understand the transformative power of makeup firsthand, and I’m thrilled to incorporate it into my career as an artist. I have a strong appreciation for avant-garde looks, drag makeup, and makeup techniques from all around the world. I have a keen eye for beauty, detail and colour, and a passion for expression through makeup in its many forms. I look forward to working with you and bringing your unique vision to life!
