Editorial makeup artistry shaped by a light touch. Skin-led, expressive and created to complement the story — for fashion, beauty, portraiture and campaign work.
I like makeup to feel natural and considered. The skill is in letting the skin breathe and not overworking it.
Beauty close-ups, fashion stories and portraits — shot for magazines, designers and photographers.
Seasonal beauty stories — concept, product and face. A fluency in colour and trend that shapes every booking.
Pearlised whites and a punchy red lip.
Orchid lilac with dusty grey undertones.
From subtle liner to blocks of rich blue.
The retro flick, modernised and angular.
Product-led, season-aware, never overdone.
A way of working built on a deep knowledge of product and trend — and the restraint to know when a look is finished.
Sandra Bermingham is a professional makeup artist working across beauty, fashion and portraiture — modern, considered, and led by the skin beneath the make-up.
Her approach is distinctive: skin-first and light-handed, fluent in product, attuned to season and story. No two faces are treated the same, and nothing is overdone. Now based in New Zealand and available to travel internationally — following years working out of London.
She works with photographers, stylists, designers and publications who want beauty with an editorial eye.
Work centred on print, campaign and image-making. Selective by design — chosen for fit, not volume.
Beauty stories and fashion features for print and online — concept to final face, in step with the photographer and stylist.
Considered, brand-right beauty for advertising, e-commerce and seasonal lookbooks — consistent across a shoot and true to the brief.
Refined beauty for portraits, press, talent and headshots — natural, elevated, and made to read on camera.
Editorial, campaign, portrait & celebrity work — bridal and event styling are not offered.
