I’m Corrie Elle, a hair and makeup artist based in Dubai for more than 12 years. Before moving here, I built and ran my own agency in Toronto, and I trained in New York and Toronto.

Today, I also work across luxury weddings, fashion, advertising, film and private events. Since I do both hair and makeup myself, you have one contact, one schedule and one invoice. More importantly, your look feels complete rather than assembled.

Three worlds, one standard

Luxury bridal, editorial and commercial makeup artist in Dubai

Whether it’s a wedding at a beach resort or a campaign shoot in a studio, the same rule applies. In other words, skin must look flawless in person, on camera and in print, from the first frame to the last.

What your makeup artist in Dubai can create

Every booking includes both hair and makeup by me, a full professional kit and touch-ups while I’m with you. For larger groups and productions, however, I can bring a second artist.

Bridal hair and makeup

Luxury weddings, as well as nikah and henna looks, with trials and airbrush makeup built for the Dubai heat. For details, see my bridal makeup artist in Dubai page.

Editorial and fashion

Magazine shoots, lookbooks and social content. I work closely with photographers and stylists, so that the look matches the brief and holds under studio lights.

Advertising and campaigns

Campaigns for luxury hotels, watches and fashion labels. Above all, skin stays clean and consistent across a full shoot day, with touch-ups between every setup.

Film, TV and production

On set and on location for broadcast, commercials and festivals. In fact, I’m used to long days, early call times and continuity notes between scenes.

Red carpet and events

Galas, award nights and premieres. Naturally, these looks are built to last through photo walls, flash photography and a full evening.

Corporate and personal

Headshots, conferences and private parties. For example, I can prepare a speaker before a keynote or a small group before an evening out.

Hair and makeup for film and production

Film days are long, and every scene has to match. So, I keep hair and makeup consistent from the first take to the last, on set or on location.

★★★★★

“My first response after seeing my hair and make-up by Corrie was ‘Wow! I look so pretty!’ I was in awe of the work that Corrie did, and I received so many comments at my event on how great I looked.”

Mobile across the UAE

A mobile makeup artist in Dubai who comes to you

Because I’m fully mobile, I work in hotels, villas, offices, studios and film sets. In addition, I travel to Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. As a result, there’s no salon to fit around and no travel time for you.

Questions

Makeup artist in Dubai: your questions

Still unsure? In that case, message me on WhatsApp and I’ll reply the same day.

Do you come to my location, or do I come to you?

I come to you. For example, I work in hotels, homes, offices, studios and film sets across Dubai. In addition, I travel to Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Just send me the address and the time you need to be ready.

Do you do both hair and makeup?

Yes. I do both myself, which saves time and keeps your look consistent. For larger groups or productions with several talents, I can bring a second artist.

Can you work on a photo shoot or film set?

Yes. I regularly work on editorial shoots, brand campaigns and broadcast productions. To get started, send me the call sheet, the number of looks and the shoot hours, and I will quote for the full day or half day.

Do you do bridal hair and makeup in Dubai?

Yes, bridal work is a large part of what I do. For instance, that includes trials, airbrush makeup for the Dubai heat, henna and nikah looks, and bridal party bookings. Read more on my bridal page.

How far in advance should I book?

Generally, for shoots and events, one to two weeks ahead is usually enough. However, November to March fills up faster, so book early if your date is fixed. For same-week requests, message me on WhatsApp.
