Melina Strachan

I have worked as a professional makeup artist for over 20 years. I trained at Stockholm University where I benefited from expert tuition in fashion, film, stage and photographic makeup and prosthetics.

I have worked for exclusive brands such as Giorgio Armani Cosmetics, Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown, which gave me invaluable experience working with the likes of Laura Mercier, Pat McGrath and Emma Kotch on events, photo shoots and fashion shows.

I have an extensive international experience in all avenues of makeup including editorial, fashion, beauty, commercials, still ads and TV. My experience across all genres of TV and film be it comedy, drama or action have been referenced as exemplarily.

I speak Swedish (mother tongue), fluent English, Serbian and Croatian, conversational Norwegian, Danish and Greek.

I take great pleasure in passing on tips, techniques and secrets of the trade by keeping up to date with the latest products and trends, constantly increasing my knowledge about new cosmetics and the best way to apply it.

A personal, attentive and friendly service is guaranteed with a great deal of attention paid to detail.

I am London based but available for work worldwide.
