About me

Welcome to Magnificent Make-Up!

 My name is Lisa Harris, I'm sometimes known as Lipstick Lisa. It's a nickname I was given by the Producer when working on my very first film. It seems to have stuck and has been used for me in the credits of films I've worked on. I am a qualified professional Make-Up Artist. I passed a Make-Up Artist Diploma in 2009 and in 2010 passed a Fashion and Photographic Make-Up Certificate. I'm based in The Forest Of Dean, I cover the whole of Gloucestershire and depending on the job often travel further (as long as travel expenses are covered). I provide a professional and friendly service for all types of events.

I have experience working on Short Films, Corporate Films, Feature Film Trailers, TV,  Theatre Productions, Music Videos,  Photo Shoots,  Casualty Simulation, Pantomimes, Body Painting, Face Painting and Wedding/Special Ocassion Make-Up

As well as being a Make-up artist, I have also worked on wardrobe. I have made, altered and sourced costumes for Films, Music Videos, Photo Shoots, Etc. I have also designed and made costumes for Theatre Productions, Pantomimes, Themed Events and Photo Shoots.  Although I have no formal training in dress/costume making. I have also been a dresser on theatre productions.

I have had some basic training in Hair Styling/Setting and Wig setting/dressing. I had to do a certain amount as part of my Make-Up Artist Diploma qualification.  In April 2011, I was able to do some work experience in the wigs department on Hairspray at the Bristol Hippodrome. Not only did I learn a huge amount about wigs on a production I love, I also got to work alongside someone I've always admired, Mr Michael Ball.

Before training as a Make-Artist I used to run my own business as a Florist. I still do some floristry work, you'd be surprised how many times I have been able to use both my make-up and floristry skills together.
