    About

    Tuija has worked as a professional make up artist for over 20 years, and was one of the pioneers in the industry. During the 1990’s she worked closely with celebrated and world famous fashion photographer Mikael Jansson, and supermodels such as Claudia Shiffer, Nadja Auermann, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Karen Mulder, Jerry Hall, Naomi Campell and Helena Christensen. Besides working with fashion, Tuija is also a recognized make up artist within dance, theatre and feature films...

    She has worked on productions such as Chess the musical, directed by Lars Rudolfsson and "Om Gud Vill"/"God Willing", directed by Amir Chamdin who also stars in it alongside Nina Persson of the Cardigans.

    Tuija is also the Creative Director at Face Stockholm Make Up School, one of the foremost institutions for learning the profession of make up artistry in Sweden.

    Tuija's idea of a successful make up is "a make up that suits its context and helps complete the overall look and feel desired".
