Elly the Mua
MAKEUP ARTIST GOLD COAST
Hi I’m Elly,
Your Gold Coast makeup artist specialising in lived in, bronzed and lifted makeup that’s tailored to your unique features.
My style is soft but snatched: glowing skin, sculpted cheeks, and eye makeup that actually works for real eyelid shapes; especially hooded eyes and smaller lid space. I love Western-inspired makeup trends, but I’m known for adapting them using Asian makeup techniques so they suit your features because not everyone’s face suits the same “one size fits all” techniques online.
I work with clients across the Gold Coast and Brisbane for events, photoshoots and special occasions. My goal is always the same: to make you feel confident, seen and the best version of yourself.
If you’ve ever felt like makeup 'doesn’t suit you' or you’ve struggled to follow mainstream tutorials, you’re exactly who I’m here for x

I had the pleasure of having Elly do my makeup as a bridesmaid, and she did an amazing job! As a Latina with brown skin, finding a makeup artist who understands the right colours can sometimes be challenging but she nailed it. She also provided a little pot of lipstick for touch ups when needed which was a considerate touch. I couldn’t recommend Elly enough if you’re looking for a professional and kind makeup artist!
My glam session with Elly was so great. She really took the time to understand the style I was looking for and I was so pleased with the end result. I got lots of compliments on my makeup. The bonus is Elly is not only awesome at makeup, she is also really lovely to talk to. Thank you Elly. I will definitely use her services again
