British Makeup Artist in Paris | Zoë Kettel
After completing my training in makeup, wigs and hair at the esteemed Christine Blundell Makeup Academy in London in 2012, I started my career working as a makeup and wigs technician in the English National Opera, moving into film, editorial, corporate and private events.
During Covid I moved to France where my first job was on John Wick 4 for Netflix, then followed projects with the team for Hilary Clinton’s Gutsy, and the Rugby film Tour De Rugby where I looked after Taika Waititi. I went on to work with the journalists for Sky New Zealand at the Rugby World Cup followed by the Paris Olympics 2024 for the BBC and Tom Hiddleston for BBC Sport.
Current clients include Bloomberg TV, politicians at the OECD and corporate on-camera events for Lenovo and Axa, plus various French cinema production companies collaborating with Netflix, Apple TV and Cine Plus.
I promote a less excess and chemical-free approach in the products I use, and put great emphasis on the importance of calm and efficient preparation essential for my clients.
I speak native English and intermediate French.
