Makeup by Gill Claimed

Life isn’t perfect, but your makeup can be’.

Hello beautiful… Welcome to ‘Make Up By Gill’.

I am Gillian Smith, founder and owner of Johannesburg based professional M.U.A company. I’ve always had a passion for creating the perfect look for any occasion and am thrilled to bring my client’s vision to reality through art. I am an artist & your face is my canvas.

As a Pro Makeup and Airbrush artist, I developed and perfected my skills and techniques at the prestigious Kohl Academy in South Africa, qualifying with a level three international diploma in Professional and Airbrush makeup. As well as being accredited with an Diploma in Beauty from Shaw Academy, a VTCT certificate for health & safety,

I specialize in various make-up artistry needs, including bridal and wedding parties, airbrushing, matric dances, editorials, special effects, theatrical & any special occasions.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved all things fashion & beauty. It started as a little girl watching my mother do her face in the mirror every morning. To me, she was the epitome of fashion & I wanted to be just like her. I was completely convinced that Makeup is the magic that can transform you instantly. Now that I’m older I now know that it was indeed not magic, but the power of makeup.
