Meet the Artist
Hello, I'm Antonio Cruz, a professional Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist based in Manchester, UK.
I don't just apply makeup, I create hight quality camera ready looks that translate flawlessly on set, on screen and in print. Whether it is stills, flash or moving image, I bring vision, calm energy and precision to deliver beyond the brief.
My work has been featured in television, fashion campaigns and magazines. I take pride in delivering custom tailored looks for every client whether working with Production Companies, Model Agencies, Celebrities, and Brides both locally and internationally.
My philosophy is simple: "Professionalism, Adaptability, and Creativity are the pillars of success." These principles have shaped my career, allowing me to build a strong reputation as the reliable and innovative makeup artist I am today.
Born in Venezuela, I grew up in Tenerife before making Manchester my home. Years of experience, diverse cultural influences, and an unwavering dedication to my craft, I have cemented my place in the UK’s makeup industry.
