Client Testimonials and Reviews

Theatrical makeup review

Clare was professional on set. She was easy to  communicate and accurate with the brief and the time constraints. She has proven to be a versatile makeup artist and I look forward to working with her again.

We invited Clare to work at our event Disco de Los Muertos in celebration of the Mexican Day of the Dead. Clare displayed high levels of professionalism and creativity. She was on time, worked well with our team, and delivered quality work, on point with our theme, in decorating the faces of our adult patrons.
We welcome Clare back to future events and can’t recommend her highly enough.

We engaged Clare from Swirl Art, for an offical launch for an IGA Store in Northcote. Our aim was to create a family community event for all the locals. Clare arrived before time to set up her equipment and was ready to go before the official start time. Clare was well organised, presented beautifully, was so engaging with both children and adults, was able to even coax the most reluctant of the community, she worked well with all other entertainers and people who were working at the event. 

Clare was very warm and engaging without being pushy, made all her customers perfectly comfortable, but most importantly from an organisers point of view, not once did I have to micro manage or direct her to do her work.

Clare was a delight to work with and she is such a warm and gentle soul. We wouldn’t hesitate to engage Clare at all our future functions.
