piera canu   

 

            Piera is from Sardinia, a beautiful island off the

western coast of Italy.  As a young girl, she loved art

and painting, and after studying to become a make-up    

artist, she made her way to the top beauty salons in

Rome.  Her talent was quickly recognized by private

clients and major fashion photographers, and she went

on to work with leading fashion magazines, major designers, TV producers, and video

and fashion shows. As head make-up artist for fashions shows in Rome and Milan, she

was responsible for recruiting other make-up artists and working with designers as a

creative consultant. She has also appeared on fashion and beauty programs on TV

and radio, and developed and presented workshops for senior students at make-up

schools in Rome.  Recently, Piera was behind the scenes at Fashion Week Spring 2006

in New York, making up celebrities such as Katherine Zeta Jones and Katie Couric

with the Olympus photographer Timothy Greenfield Sanders.

            Piera has worked extensively in fashion as well as with celebrities, brides, and

private clients over the past 15 years.  She works in all genres of make-up including

the ultra-natural, the sophisticated, and the glamorous, yet she approaches each

make-up as a unique study of the face, accentuating the natural qualities of each

individual, while masking imperfections. Clients especially appreciate her original

technique: creating a soft, natural base that produces a look of freshness and light.
