Meet Vanessa

Aussie born and makeup artist, Vanessa found her passion early in life. From a young age, she was interested in the glam, the beauty and the technique of helping people shine – dedicating over 25 years of her life to rigorous training and competitive work in the beauty industry.

Vanessa has worked on clients in the advertising, fashion, TV and events industries, passionate about building a supportive community where artists can grow, flourish, and take their careers to the next level.

“I started The Makeup Insider (TMI) Podcast to help people who find the makeup industry difficult to navigate. Constantly seeing others succeed on social media can leave you with little confidence if your business isn’t thriving. I know I’ve fallen into the trap of wondering what I was doing wrong… TMI is for the younger me, the one who was too intimidated to make those connections and who often felt lonely in a busy and loud industry.”
