7. “… I have worked with Charmaine Buttrick on more than one occasion and have been most
impressed with her approach and skills as a makeup artist. She is extremely professional and
passionate about the work she does. She has mastered the art of blending and shading and
the abstract use of colour and is able to turn a models face into a work of art. Her work is
clean, meticulous and precise. This is essential for photography where images are often
enlarged to larger than life prints. She is highly skilled in all styles of makeup from
conventional natural looking faces to avant garde.
I can recommend her to anyone who needs a make-up artist…”
LAETITIA KENNY – PHOTOGRAPHER
“…Charmaine is extremely artistic, creative and has the most amazing ability to visualize the
photographer’s intended outcome of a photo-shoot and produces stunning results…”
