Jo Carmichael
Make Up Artist

​I am a Make Up Artist based in Edinburgh with a varied portfolio including fashion, editorial, bridal, character/theatre/panto and SFX make up. I attended Art college for a year, where I specialised in Photography, before gaining an MA (hons) from Edinburgh University. I then gained experience in cosmetic retail and produced illustration commissions privately for wedding invites, websites, business cards etc. I began training at Edinburgh College in September 2012 in Make Up Artistry and have been involved in a number of projects since, including being a MUA for the Edinburgh Charity Fashion Show 2013 promotion and the final catwalk event (ECFS PAGE), a number of freelance engagements, bridal make up and fashion shoots. ​As well as working as a freelance Make Up Artist, I am able to design, make and alter clothes and costumes. I excel at styling and enjoy taking a hands-on role in photoshoots where appropriate.
I also know how to work with latex and have made a number of latex outfits and accessories both for shoots and private purchase (please see 'Latex' page).
