My name is Lisa Knape

and as a hair & makeup artist I create natural, radiant makeups and casual hairstyles for weddings, photo shoots and video shoots in Düsseldorf and its surroundings.

I have always been interested in creative and artistic activities and discovered my passion for photography at an early age. I was fascinated to capture the beauty of humans and nature in pictures and over the years I realised that the right makeup and hairstyling had a huge influence on the resulting images.

After passing my A levels, I began an apprenticeship as a hairdresser, from which I graduated as one of the best trainees of my year. During my apprenticeship in a renowned hairdressing salon, I got nominated for the German Hairdressing Awards twice.

Nowadays, I use my experience in makeup and hairstyling and my photography background to satisfy my client's wishes and needs. Due to my professional and calm way of approaching tasks, I can do my work precisely and quickly even in the most stressful situations.

A good preparation of the skin is essential for a professional makeup

Whenever I do makeup, I place a high value on sanitation and precise work with much love for detail. For this reason, I put a lot of effort in cleansing and preparing the skin according to its individual needs prior to any makeup application. 

In my work as a makeup artist I am specialised in natural, authentic and radiant looks, which emphasise the natural beauty of a woman or man. Beyond that, I am fascinated by using makeup and hairstyling techniques to change the characteristics of a human being in a way to let them slip into another role.

I mainly work in Düsseldorf and NRW, but on enquiry I'm available for bookings worldwide.

Makeup has the wonderful ability to enhance a woman's or man's natural beauty

And this is exactly what I want to do with my work. I want to use my experience in this wonderful craft to bring out the most beautiful features of a human being without hiding their true face. I want to help and encourage women and men alike to show their beauty with joy and self-confidence.

I love faces and their individuality. Every face shape, every skin tone, every eye colour, every freckle and every wrinkle has a unique and individual beauty of its own. Faces tell stories of a life and show a human's character. A good makeup should accentuate these features in a flattering way, without hiding the person's personality under a thick layer of makeup.

This is why I consider it my calling to really get to know every person that sits in my chair, understand their wishes and give them a better self-esteem with my work.

To achieve this goal, I always try to create a flawless, yet natural looking base on the skin, which lets the person's own skin, freckles and birthmarks show through. A healthy and radiant looking skin is one of my signature looks and it allows me to create a variety of looks - from natural beauty to avantgarde looks.
