Mooi Nooi Make-up Artist & Hairstylist

From a young age, Marilee Carstens has been fascinated by the wonder of makeup, and its singular ability to enhance not only a person’s external beauty but also their inner confidence. Having studied under celebrated local makeup artists Lisa Brown and Madeleine Conradie, Marilee has cultivated her passion, developing what she has defined as a natural style enhanced by a “pop of colour”, and a particular appreciation for bridal makeup and hair work, as well as for bright lips, which she considers a particular head-turner. For Marilee, makeup work extends well beyond a job. It is, for her, a personal passion – a passion which she now pursues professionally through her company, Mooi Nooi. Based out of Cape Town, Marilee is available for weddings, functions, and various other occasions, both locally and internationally. “Seeing the smiles and expressions of amazement on my clients’ faces makes all the hard work worthwhile,” she says of her work. “It would be an honour to use my acquired techniques…to make you look radiant and even more beautiful on your special day.”
