Who is Maike Make up Artist Wien?
My name is Maike Kolmer and I am a certified Makeup Artist in Vienna.
I first became interested in makeup out of necessity, not pleasure. For ten years I suffered from terrible cystic acne and using makeup was the only way for me to restore my self-confidence. I researched, experimented and perfected until I found an acceptable solution for myself. What started as means for the purpose was only the beginning of an excited and creative journey.
I decided that I wanted others to experience this feeling that makeup gave me.
I made this decision a little later in life. Before becoming a full time makeup artist, I worked as a Chef and studied Chemistry at the University of Vienna.
I grew up all over the world in English speaking schools, so I am fluent in both German and English (or one could argue I can speak neither very well).
