About Mary ajaka

over 17 years in the industry

I am passionate about makeup and the art of enhancing natural beauty. 
With over 17 years’ experience as a celebrity makeup artist, I have had the privilege of working with diverse range of clients, from everyday individuals to celebrities in various settings such as television shows like Married at first sight, love Island, photoshoots, weddings, tutorials, and corporate events. 

In addition to my work as a makeup artist, I am also a certified trainer and assessor, with deep love for teaching and coaching others. Recognising the unique needs of different individuals, I have tailored a hands-on makeup workshop specially designed for mature skin. 

In these workshops, you will receive personalised guidance on how to enhance your natural features based on your own eye and face shape, covering all aspects such as skin types, skin prep, addressing pigmentation and imperfections, product knowledge, and various makeup application techniques. Along that, I am also offering various workshops to suit different needs.
What sets me apart is my eye for detail and dedication to ensuring that every individual who sits in my chair feels and looks their best. Over the years, I have been dubbed as a “magician”, and “the eye queen” by those I have had the pleasure of working on.

understanding the needs of skin

At this point in my own journey, I understand the changing needs of mature skin, including challenges like melasma due to hormonal changes. Despite the compliments on my skin, I find joy in sharing the secrets and skills of makeup to empower others to look and feel their best.
 
My mantra, “look good, feel good,” encapsulates my commitment to helping individuals embrace their beauty and confidence through the transformative power of makeup.

my number 1 pick everyday of the week
If I’m in Mary’s chair, I can relax and know I’ll be taken care of and I’ll open my eyes feeling confident. For someone who doesn’t wear much makeup I love everything she creates, and we always have such a fun time. Mary’s my number one pick every day of the week

the most beautiful makeup i've ever had
The most beautiful makeup I’ve ever had. Mary has done my hair and makeup for many events from red carpets, the logies, birthdays and for television too. Her skill set is impeccable- I’ve never had so many comments on my makeup-
Best in the business

highly organised and professional
Mary did my makeup as well as my three sisters for my niece’s wedding.
She did a great job of tailoring the look to each of our personal style, colouring and outfits.
It was one of the hottest days of summer, our makeup stayed looking fresh and beautiful the entire day and night. I didn’t have any sweating or melting makeup. Given we were dancing and celebrating, it was amazing. We all looked fabulous. Mary is very calm, which I really appreciated. She is organized and professional and I highly recommend you book her early.
