Holding brushes

It is my mission to collaborate with my clients to create a customized look that is sure to delight.

It may be an hour of beauty, or multiple hours for prosthetic application and body painting; I am devoted to bringing you the best skills I have to offer, from my mobile kit to your location of choice!

Suzanne Freeman

I am a professional makeup artist residing in Calgary, Alberta, specializing in event orientated makeup. I am certified through the L Makeup Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I completed The Journey: Master Makeup SFX Program.

In beauty and body painting, I am truly inspired by every person I see; finding harmony with physical beauty with the uniqueness of the individual is the driving force of my creative endeavors.

My Special Effects work ranges from out-of-kit zombie effects, to life cast prosthetics, to simple cuts and bruises. My portfolio is a true reflection of my creativity and versatility, as I continue to gain valuable skills to perform detailed executions for each project.

My film work includes Assistant Art Directing in the horror/drama Prairie Dog. Feel free to visit my IMDB page under SUZANNE MORGAN-FREEMAN.

Testimonials

“Suzanne did such an amazing job on my makeup for my wedding! I normally hate wearing makeup and the feeling of it on my face, but Suzanne made me look and feel like a queen without feeling suffocated under a mask of foundation and such. So much fun having her there, she makes the process go by so fast and fun which isn’t an easy task when you have to sit still in a chair for hair and makeup. Her makeup job lasted all day long without needing anything to be touched up; it was a warmer day, but never once felt like I was melting my face off. I was so happy with the final result and how it looked throughout the night. She helped make the best day of my life even better. Definitely my top pick for future events and who I will always recommend first."​

"I had Suzanne from Makeup Factor do my makeup for professional photos. I had no clue what I needed so all I told her is that I needed a professional look and it has to last all day. We did my makeup at 8am and my photos were at 3:30pm. Not only did the makeup last all day with no touch ups but when applying Suzanne had such a light touch that it did not tickle or itch. In the end, I had to ask here to share what type of mascara that she was using because that night it came off with no effort! I will be using Makeup Factor again in the future."​

"Suzanne from Makeup Factor is by far the best makeup technician I have ever worked with. She is very pleasant and professional to work with and did everything to make my experience as comfortable as possible. From consultation to the actual day I felt like she was with me every step of the way and my experience would not have been the same without her! When it comes to wedding makeup I am so glad I decided to go with a trained and certified makeup technician, it really made all the difference! Suzanne picked everything out for me as per my request and I was blown away with the effects. I loved the gold shimmer of my eyes and the muted colour of my lips! With my skin tone a lot of salon experts try to go with a more bold lip colour, but looking at the photos it made a world of difference that the lip colour was a gorgeous golden shade. I found that my teeth looked much  whiter. Overall I got exactly what I was looking for and more with Makeup Factor. The quality of her work speaks for itself and everything she used was very clean and of good quality. She also comes to you, which is an incredible deal! It made for a stress free day for me because I didn't have to set up a separate appointment place before the wedding. She really goes above and beyond to make you look and feel special for whatever your occasion may be! Whether you want a traditional look, or something a little different for your wedding or graduation I would definitely recommend Makeup Factor.

I would highly recommend Makeup Factor for your Halloween needs. For 3 years in a row I have had my Halloween makeup done by Suzanne and I have been impressed every time. She thinks on her feet and listens to what everyone wants. I went as a cop for Halloween and forgot to buy a badge-she painted one on my shirt on the spot!
