About

Wendy Mao (call me Wendychu)
Professional Makeup Artist | Vancouver, BC
Over 10 years of experience in makeup artistry

I’m a professional makeup artist with over a decade of experience in the beauty and fashion industry, specializing in creating natural, glowing looks that mimic real skin. Based in Vancouver, my journey began in 2013 when I studied Fashion Design in New York. As a lifelong art student, I’ve built a strong foundation in painting, drawing, mixed media, paper art, and professional calligraphy—skills that continue to inspire my approach to makeup.

My dedication led me to win first place for Taiwan in the International NYX Face Awards in 2017. Since then, I’ve worked on numerous film and studio projects across the APAC region, with my work featured in Vogue Australia, Vogue Italy, Vogue France, Local Wolves, Jute Magazine, French Fries Magazine, L’Oréal Taiwan, Mina, Red Candle Games, Style Me Pretty, Salon Magazine, and more.

For me, makeup is an art form that allows me to express my creativity and passion. I enjoy collaborating on innovative fashion and beauty projects with friends and fellow artists to bring our shared vision to life.
