Freaky and fabulous! Gia Marie Waits opens up about her fantastic Halloween make-up looks
Halloween is right around the corner, and all we’re thinking about is what look we're going to come up with! And if you're still lacking inspiration, who better to get you in the mood than talented make-up artist Gia Marie Waits? After coming across her STUNNING Insta page, we just had to reach out and ask her a few questions about her spectacular Halloween looks. Oh, and she even takes bookings! (Hallelujaaah!)
Gia Marie Waits is a Malta-based make-up artist who has worked with all the top make-up brands including Tom Ford, NARS, Chanel, Sisley, and MAC Cosmetics. She works on different make-up styles including bridal, fashion, beauty and special effects. Every year, she creates stunning Halloween looks, and each one is somehow better than the last!
“I feel like it was always within me, I just wasn’t sure what it was yet. It all started with colouring doll’s faces and then moving onto friends, and the rest is history,” says Gia. She says that she finds inspiration everywhere, but namely in fashion, art, and movies.
When asked how she manages to pull off such intricate and detailed looks, she admits, “just endless patience and obsessive-compulsive attention to detail!”
When it comes to Halloween, Gia is majorly into dualism, and almost all her fantasy or character looks feature a “good and evil” side melting into each other. She also loves a good skull look: “you can never go wrong with skulls!”
Thinking about dipping your finger into make-up art? Gia recommends “practice, practice, and did I mention practice?” which might sound trivial, but true. “Whenever I teach make-up classes, I always try to encourage my students to be their own artists and seek inspiration outside Pinterest and Instagram.”
Gia is available for bookings on all social media platforms. “Just drop me a line and we will make the magic happen!”
