JOEL MARRIOTT - MAKE UP ARTIST

Joel Marriott, makeup artist, hails from rural New Zealand and it is his love for his art form that has taken him around the world to London, Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney and New York city where he is now based.

His obsession with paint and powder started at a very early age but it was when he moved to Sydney, Australia in 2000 that his career started to take shape working as a promotional makeup expert for makeup brands like Prescriptives and MAC.

Interest in Joel's ability grew, and it wasn't long before he was working full time as a freelance makeup artist for magazines and advertising clients, building a solid reputation as one of the country's freshest new talents.

He has had the opportunity to work alongside great music industry talents from Annie Crummer to Kanye West, and has made a name for himself on the international fashion scene working for labels like Nom'd, Huffer, Love Lies Bleeding, Josh Goot, Fashion Assassin and has been the key make up artist for Sera Lilly campaigns for 3 years.

Joel has inserted himself quickly into the New York Fashion circuit and has already shot for magazines such as L'OFFICIEL and Modern Bride and is looking forward to developing his career further in the fashion capital of the world.
