Meet Viv Johns
Viv Johns is a Brisbane-based makeup artist specialising in bridal and event makeup, with over ten years of experience in the beauty industry.
​
After graduating with a Certificate in Fashion, Glamour & Bridal Makeup Artistry from Napoleon Perdis in 2016 — where she was awarded the only Certificate of Excellence in her class — Viv has gone on to work with hundreds of clients across weddings, events, and special occasions.
​
Her work is guided by a deep understanding of facial structure and balance. Advanced facial mapping training through Maven Artistry (USA) allows Viv to design makeup looks that complement individual features and eye shapes, with particular care taken when applying lashes and defining the eyes.
​
Clients often describe Viv as warm, friendly, and quietly confident — someone who makes you feel instantly at ease while delivering consistently beautiful results.
The Experience
From first enquiry to final touch-up, Viv offers a considered, seamless experience designed to feel calm, organised, and genuinely enjoyable. Each booking begins with a thoughtful conversation to understand your preferences, skin, and overall vision, allowing Viv to tailor a makeup look that feels polished, flattering, and true to you.
Makeup trials are warmly welcomed and encouraged — they provide an opportunity to refine your look, ensure alignment, and confirm that the fit feels right for both sides ahead of your wedding day. Clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and a reassuring presence are central to Viv’s approach, so when the day arrives, everything feels familiar, effortless, and well taken care of.
Beyond The Makeup
On the day, Viv is more than your makeup artist. She’s a steady presence, a problem-solver, and someone who helps the morning feel organised and unrushed. Years of experience have taught her that the most important part of the job isn’t just how the makeup looks — it’s how supported and confident her clients feel while wearing it.
