Avery McAllister - MARKHAM MAKEUP AND HAIR ARTIST

I figure it’s time to introduce myself... Hi Everyone! My name is Avery McAllister. I am a Markham-based makeup artist and hairstylist with a decade of customer service experience and a natural gift for creating calm, welcoming environments. My love for makeup began as a pre-teen experimenting with beauty looks for friends; even doing prom makeup while still in high school. Though my path first led me to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with Honours from Trent University, my journey ultimately brought me back to my true passion: makeup artistry. Blending my background in psychology with my creative eye, I approach every client with empathy, attentiveness, and artistry. I believe makeup is more than just a look, it’s a way to help people feel confident, seen, and authentically themselves. Now pursuing my diploma in Makeup for Media and Creative Arts at Sheridan College, I continue to grow my craft in beauty, editorial, and event makeup. My work is known for its timeless elegance, attention to detail, and soft, polished finishes that enhance natural beauty rather than mask it.

In love with this studio and look 🤎🤎🤎 Natural soft glam with matte finishes went so perfectly with the softness of the wardrobe and studio!
