Michigan based on-site freelance beauty and special FX makeup artist. Makeup has been an integral part of my life for several years.

My name is Miranda Collins and I am an on-site freelance makeup artist residing in Southeast Michigan. My career in makeup artistry began in 2015 after graduating from Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles, California. As a beauty makeup artist, I strive to help every client look and feel their best. I am skilled in the application of a wide variety of looks - from simple, clean and natural to bold, daring and avant-garde. There is nothing I find more gratifying than making someone feel confident and beautiful for a special occasion. I am experienced in the bridal field and love helping brides-to-be choose a special look to enhance their natural beauty on their wedding day. Special effects and character makeup hold a special place in my heart. I developed a passion for horror at a young age and have been fascinated with creating makeup effects ever since. I enjoy creating realistic makeups suitable for film/television, haunted attractions, or theatre. Injury, body painting and prosthetics are just a handful of the effects that I can produce to bring any character to life. In addition to my freelance career, I work as the makeup department head for Wiard's Night Terrors Haunted Thrill Park in Ypsilanti, MI designing makeups and overseeing the FX team. I hope that you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it!

Hi, I’m terrible at posting my work consistently so here’s a fun lil clown mask I sculpted and painted last summer.

A pinup inspired look for a branding shoot I did a couple months ago. 💄 I loved this double winged liner (inspired by Marilyn Monroe!)

So obsessed with Nina’s cutesy bridal glam! 💖

Inspired by her love of Sanrio and anime, this bride’s ideal look called for glowy skin, pink blush and of course - lots of iridescence & sparkles! ✨

I finished working on my first mask a little while ago. 🙈 I had so much fun trying out some new materials/techniques and can’t wait to get started on the next one. 🖤
