Amy McLennan

I am a Wellington based Make-up Artist, with over 20 years experience working in all aspects of the make-up industry.

After completing my Diploma in Film & Television Make-up, I commenced my career on the MAC Cosmetics counter which honed my skills in beauty make-up. 

Later I diversified into film, television and theatre and have worked on many major International films including King Kong, The Hobbit, The Ghost in The Shell and Slow West. I have also worked on numerous New Zealand Films and Television series.

I have two children, Amos 4 and I have a gorgeous 7-yr old called Sabine. 

I enjoy all aspects of make-up. I love working with current beauty products to create beautiful wedding and fashion looks. I am very at home on a film or commercial set, standing by on actors, working with wigs and special effects make-up. I also enjoy the behind the scenes work of making hair pieces, drawing and creating tattoo transfers. I put professionalism, commitment and care into any make-up role I take on.

I have a strong interest in cruelty free, ethical, natural and organic make-up and carry products in alignment with these values in my kit, alongside the big and trusted brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, Stilla and Nars. I am happy to speak with you about 'greening' your makeup and skincare routines.

I have recently opened a clean beauty studio on Jessie St, Wellington. This is where I see my private clients and I stock a number of clean beauty brands including Aleph, Ere Perez, Yet Beauté, Axiology, Purobio, Henné Organics, Suntegrity Sphaera Hair Care and more. Please be in touch if you would like to book in for one of my many offerings.

I have a diverse range of skills, I am available to travel nationally and internationally for work and would love to help you with your make-up needs.
