About me
"A good make up artist should be able to create any image by having an abundance of creativity, imagination, and passion for their work, very much in the same way that a painter is able to create a work of art from a clear canvas" .....I’m a freelance make-up artist/Stylist and SFX designer, with over 8 years experience in the industry.
My experience as a MUA ranges right across the board, from marketing campaigns, to fashion shows, corporate events, music videos and last but not least, film work, especially horror films, which I'm passionate about!
I'm friendly, extremely hard working, creative and versatile ( in that I can lend my hand to just about anything) I'm 100% passionate about my work, and I'm also fluent in French!
I'm a good communicator, and I enjoy working with people in all walks of life.
When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, I'm an avid reader,and enjoy going to the cinema. I also love classical music and going to the Opera and Ballet.
My favorite film directors are: Jean Luc Godard, Marcel Carne, Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, Baz Luhrmann and Kathryn Bigolow.
The writers I most admire are: J. D. Salinger, Luke Rhinehart, Alexandre Dumas, and the French writer/novelist Francoise Sagan.
My lucky number is 5, I'm left - handed, and a Libran, and I'm at my happiest when I'm working on an interesting project, surrounded by a creative team, and literally "getting my hands dirty"!.....

REFERENCE FROM FILM MAKER
"Ani quickly got down to business, getting things just how she likes it, up close and personal and sculpting a look - in this particular case, a maniacal middle aged man that had, through societal
pressure, emotionally imploded one day in downtown Boston, falling from the tree like a rotten apple - he wreaks havoc on un-expecting downtown mall, before returning home to get down to
the real horror of his aftermath.!
Ani Worked well under pressure and to a tight time scale. Graphic, detailed and the ability to as- similate quickly what I was looking for, Ani fed of that and brought good ideas to the make-up table of her own. She’s patient, hard working, fun to be around and I look forward to working with her again soon" - Judson Vaughn, director on short horror film entitled ' The Boston Maniac' - September 2014.
REFERENCE FROM FILM MAKER
“Ani was great to work with, as she brought creativity and skill to the shoot. I was so impressed with how our actors looked and she was always coming up with ideas and discussing them with me – exactly what a director wants!. I was really happy with the final looks and Ani carried out the work with skill and she was great fun as well.” - Miranda Howard - Williams, director on book trailer entitled 'Red Rising'.
REFERENCE FROM FILM MAKER
This is to confirm that Ani Dee has worked as a make-up artist on two of my student projects of which one was selected for Cannes International Film Festival and one is currently in the process of editing.
I am very grateful for her contributions. The fact that she was willing to partly volunteer on two shooting days for the last short film, made clear to me that she is an experienced artist, eager to be part of the crew and, just as the rest of the volunteers, dedicated to turn this project into a film to be proud of.
She is a good timekeeper, aware what team spirit can achieve, enthusiastic in her work and knowledgeable in her field.
Therefore, not only am I grateful for giving me her time and expertise, but I can fully recommend her to any film producer looking for a make- up artist/SFX designer with talent and experience - Alexander Aben –Shinning with Productions Ltd.
REFERENCE FROM FILM/THEATRE PRODUCER
Ani came on board at very short notice - with an array of 12 different characters & a major special effect to create over our 3 day shoot this was quite a task. Fortunately Ani was immediately able to connect imaginately with the script & straightaway asked in-depth questions about all the characters & the directors vision.
Her experience, dedication & skill were certainly an asset.
She really cared about both her own work & that of the project as a whole & at all times wanted to achieve the very best artistically for our short film. She offered a lot of advice drawn from her considerable understanding of the filming process.
She was also magic to have around - Caroline Staunton, Producer on short film entitled ‘Alexander The Great’ - Split Moon Theatre.
Additional information:
My other skills include face painting and I'm also a competent Stylist, and I specialize in Fashion, Editorial and Bridal make-up but I'm also a very experienced SFX designer.
When shooting a film, or a video, or indeed, a commercial, it’s important to work with a MUA whom one can rely on, someone who's passionate about film (which I am!) someone who’s creative, versatile, and last but not least, a make up artist who's able to take directions well, work closely with the director, and at the end of the day, deliver stunning results!
As a make up artist, I can also provide make up for Birthday parties, Weddings, Proms, Christmas and New Years Eve do's, Fancy dress parties, Special occasions or any other excuse you can think of to get dolled up!
I am constantly brushing up on the latest " look" which keeps me up-to-date with the various beauty products and trends on the market. So whether you're after the latest look to come down the catwalk at London Fashion Week, or you'd like to go for a laid back day to day look - I can help!....... Maybe it's the latest celebrity red carpet look that you're after? - or perhaps a 60's Twiggy inspired look? - or a glamorous Jane Russell, or Lana Turner 40's look, what ever it is you want to achieve,I hope you'll get in touch!
I am also a very experienced SFX designer, and my passion happens to be horror films, and I pride myself on being able to create a very convincing and ghoulish Zombie!.
I'm never happier as when I'm working on a film set, surrounded by a creative crew, and "getting my hands dirty" as it were...
So if your production company should require someone with my skills, and experience for any of your film/ theatre/corporate events/weddings, or anything else which requires my skills as MUA/SFX designer, I would love to hear from you!
