ABOUT NAOIMH

Hi, I’m Naoimh, and I’m so happy to welcome you to my website! I created this space to bring all my work and information together, making it easy for you to find everything you need in one place.

​

Makeup has always been my passion, and in 2017, I took the first step in my journey by training with VanityX Makeup Academy. There, I honed my skills in client makeup application, colour theory, and the importance of impeccable hygiene - something I prioritise with every client. My training led to a Professional Makeup Artistry diploma, and I also hold an ITEC Level 2 award in Photographic Makeup, a qualification recognised worldwide.

​

In 2018, I furthered my expertise with Inglot Ireland’s in-store Pro Artistry course, where I mastered advanced techniques, including intricate looks like cut creases and spotlight eyes. Then, in 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to train with Irish makeup artist Sarah Keary, expanding my knowledge of products and their importance for different skin types.

I started my career on the Dior counter at Brown Thomas, but my true passion led me to freelance makeup artistry, where I could work closely with clients in my own space. Over the years, I’ve worked in several busy salons across Cork, and I love the mix of meeting new people and welcoming back my amazing regular clients.

​

Now, I’m based at Blush Salon, 324 Blarney Street, Cork City, offering bridal and occasion makeup, as well as freelance services. I also have experience in editorial and TV work.

I’m incredibly honored to have been recognized for my work, winning Beautician of the Year at The Hair and Beauty Awards in 2022. I was also nominated for Best Makeup Artist at the 2023 Hi Style Awards and Bridal Makeup Artist of the Year with WeddingsOnline.ie in 2024.

Thank you so much for visiting my website.
