I am Juliet Downes, a Durban based,
freelance make up artist. Make up Eye was established in 2008. I have been working in this industry for three years and have used my skills in a wide variety of make up, hair and styling projects ... |
My favourite makeup is making brides look beautiful. I've been doing this since I graduated and love every wedding. I also really enjoy doing make up and hair styling for Matric dances and special occasions.
