11 live makeup artist portfolios
Every one is a live site run by a makeup artist getting booked on shoots. Browse them, then build yours.
Free for 15 days. No card needed.
Every makeup artist website example below is a live site, run by a makeup artist getting booked on shoots, not a mockup or a best-of pick. Filter by the work, or scroll and see what stops you.
Seven things that hold up across every makeup artist portfolio worth visiting.
Show fewer pieces than you want to
Every image you add lowers the average. A booker forms a view in seconds and remembers the weakest thing on the page, not the strongest.
Lead with one strong image, not a menu
The first screen should be work, not navigation. If someone has to read before they see anything, you have spent the only attention you were given.
Put contact one click from everywhere
Nobody hunts for an email address. A person who has decided to hire you should never have to scroll back up to act on it.
A site on someone else's subdomain is borrowed. Your own domain is the only part of this that stays yours when you change platforms.
Split the navigation by occasion, not by technique
Bridal, editorial, film and TV. Clients book an occasion. Nobody has ever searched for contouring.
Lead with a before and after set
It is the only thing on the page that separates your skill from a good photographer and good light. Put it above anything else.
Full-bleed close-ups, not gallery thumbnails
Skin texture, blend lines and lash work do not survive a 300px crop. If the detail is the work, the crop has to show it.
Sell from the same site, with zero commission
The store is built in, so products and services sell from the same site as the work. Pixpa takes no commission on any sale, at any plan level. Stripe and PayPal connect directly.
Send work to clients privately, and let them choose
Client galleries are a private link, not a public page. Clients open it on a phone, mark what they want, and you see the selections without a thread of attachments.
One page, if that is all the work needs
A single-scroll site is a legitimate finished site here, not a downgrade. Same templates, same store, same domain.

A makeup artist portfolio is the curated set of work a client, agency or production looks at before booking you. It used to mean a physical book you carried to castings. Today it usually means a website, with the book kept as a backup for in-person meetings.
Clean before and after sets, a range that matches the work you actually want, at least one close-range full-face shot per look, and an obvious way to contact you. Agencies also look for tear sheets and credited published work.
The book is physical and you control who sees it, one person at a time. The website is public, searchable and linkable, so a booker can forward it to a client. Most working artists keep both. The website does the discovery and the book does the room.
Fewer than you want to show. A booker decides in seconds, and the weakest image in the set is the one they remember. Cut anything that is there because it was hard to shoot rather than because it books work.
Instagram shows your latest work in a feed you do not control, and strong looks disappear down the grid within weeks. A portfolio website keeps your best work in the order you chose, sits on a domain you own, and can be sent as one link to a booker who does not use Instagram.
Yes. Every site in this gallery runs on Pixpa, which includes an online store with zero commission on sales, so bridal packages, gift cards and masterclasses can be sold from the same site. Built-in client galleries let a bride view a private link and mark the trial look she wants.
Pick a template from any site above, swap in your own looks, point your domain at it. 15 days free, no card, 30-day money-back after that.
