Dominic Porras
If colourful, artistic makeup is your thing – and of course it is – you’ll want to hit follow on multi-platform makeup artist Dominic Porras (you’ll probably know him as @dom.skii). His transformations are punctuated by bright pops of neon, gorgeous glitter and some seriously imaginative looks.

Maria Thattil
Maria Thattil always brings the glamour, which perhaps shouldn’t be surprising given she’s a former Miss Universe Australia. The model is also a presenter, advocate and a professional makeup artist, the latter of which is a lesser-known fact that’s actually very evident in her beauty looks. Maria tends to favour luminous skin, glossy lips and a bombshell bronze smoky eye, but she also rocks a flawless red lip on the regular.

AJ Clementine
As one of Australia’s most viral online exports, model and LGBTGIA+ advocate AJ Clementine is almost as famous for her dreamy beauty aesthetic as she is for her heartfelt (and often hilarious!) TikTok videos. AJ likes to keep her beauty looks simple and minimal yet ethereal, often wearing little more than a subtle wash of pastel shadow on the eyes with glowing skin and glossy lips.

Meissa Mason

Meissa serves artful beauty looks filled with vibrant shimmer eyeshadow with pops of colour and rainbow hair hues, alongside creative conversation-starting makeup that celebrates her heritage as a proud Wiradjuri, Gomeroi and Awabakal woman.
