Media, Events & Professional Experience
Makeup work across events, stage, fashion and media settings
Alongside bridal and event appointments, Vicky Chen Studio has also worked across TV, red carpet, stage and fashion-related settings where makeup needs to read well both in person and on camera.
Selected experience has included work connected to large events and creative productions such as Jay Chou Carnival World Tour Sydney, Asia Fashion Week, Asia Movie Night Gala and Miss Australia Chinese. These references are shared as part of the studio’s broader makeup experience, not as an ongoing official partnership claim.
This background helps inform a flexible approach to makeup, whether the client needs something soft and polished, more defined for photography, or suitable for performance and media environments.
What To Prepare
Before your makeup appointment
Bring your reference ideas
If you have preferred makeup references, outfit colours or hairstyle ideas, bring them along so the final look feels cohesive.
Arrive with clean skin
Clean, fresh skin helps makeup sit better and gives us the best base to work with for longevity and finish.
Allow enough time
For weddings, formals and event bookings, allow enough time before your event so the appointment feels calm and unhurried.
