Vanessa Cogorno

Freelance makeup artist & hairstylist working in Belgium, Great Britain, The Netherlands, Spain, Peru and available to travel worldwide. In 2009 I started my journey to this awe-inspiring world. Since then, I have been perfecting my skills by taking courses and workshops in England, The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Through the last 11 years, I have been building a diverse portfolio specialising in film, theatre, beauty, fashion, advertising, editorial photography and corporate assignments. I am Mastered Ambassador for Belgium and pursue desktop publisher, web developing and photography courses as a complement to my visual arts skills.
