Daniela Rose is a professionally trained makeup, hair, and special effects artist based in Sydney. A graduate of the National Institute of Dramatic Art with a Diploma of Screen and Media (Specialist Make-up Services), they have developed a diverse body of work spanning film, theatre, music, and editorial. Their artistry combines technical precision with a strong visual sensibility, bringing depth and character to every project.

Drawing inspiration from drag culture, 90s supermodel glamour, and the surreal beauty of fine art, Daniela creates work that is both bold and expressive. Their practice encompasses designing elevated beauty and editorial looks, creating character transformations, and crafting intricate hair and wig designs for live performance and screen.

Daniela’s experience extends beyond the studio- having worked professionally as a makeup artist in a retail environment, they have provided services for a wide range of clients. This hands-on experience has refined their ability to work with diverse faces, skin tones, and styles further strengthening their commitment to inclusive and expressive artistry. They are driven by a passion for transformation- whether that means aging a character for stage, building fantastical creatures, or designing a moment of modern elegance.

As a queer artist of Colombian descent, Daniela approaches their work with a deep appreciation for individuality, identity, and storytelling. They continue to expand their practice within screen and live production spaces, guided by a passion for creative expression and collaboration. Their work celebrates makeup and hair as powerful tools for expression, capable of shaping worlds, emotions, and identities.
