ABOUT SOFIA

Born 1983, in Malmö. Based in Helsingborg, South of Sweden, but travel for work all over Europe.


Professionally certified Makeup Artist in 2014. Full time freelance Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist.


I do makeup, hairstyling, and sometimes styling and costume for photoshoots and film productions, mainly for commercials, advertising and fashion.


Specialized in natural "no makeup" makeup - discreet makeup that looks good in photos and on film - as well as beauty makeup for fashion, e-commerce, lifestyle, sport and outdoor shoots.


Hairstylist working with all hair types - from simpler to more advanced styling. I'm not a hairdresser, but after courses in cutting techniques for both straight and textured hair, I gladly cut longer hair.


I work in ALL environments and LOVE the diversity of my work! One day I may find myself in a studio and the next out on location - whether it's in an urban environment or out in nature.


For me, it's important that models, actors and extras feel safe and comfortable "in my chair" - regardless of age, background, and previous experience of makeup, photshoots and productions. It pleases me that I often get to hear that I'm "good with people", "a joy to work with", "hands on", gentle when applying makeup and bring calmness to shoots.


I switched careers and started freelancing in my 30's, so besides my makeup work, I have a Master's in International Migration and Ethnic Relations and previous work experience in project management, coordination, operational responsibility and social work within the human rights field - mainly with women, children and youth, both in Sweden and abroad.


If you've read this far, I'd love to hear more from you - whether you have questions, ideas or want to submit a request!
