Lori Sutton provided hair and makeup services on two recent projects, including a TVC that has just launched in cinemas, and she was an absolute joy to work with. She brought such care, creativity, and enthusiasm to the process, always offering thoughtful options and working collaboratively to bring the characters to life.

Her looks felt real, grounded, and beautifully considered, adding so much to the overall feel of the project. Lori has a wonderfully friendly, calm, and positive presence on set, and her work was consistently outstanding.

I’d highly recommend Lori to any production looking for a talented, collaborative, and lovely hair and makeup artist.

She was professional, warm, and ensured each panelist looked polished and camera-ready. I would highly recommend her for any corporate event!

Her work goes beyond just hair and makeup — she brings a thoughtful, editorial approach that elevates the entire shoot. The headpieces she creates are especially unique and add a distinctive edge to the final outcome. She’s organised, reliable, and very easy to work with on set.

Lori was an essential part of my short film production. Her technical proficiency in special effects makeup was excellent, delivering realistic fake tattoos along with effective bruising and sweat applications that significantly enhanced the on-screen action. We also had great communication throughout the process, ensuring we collaborated effectively to achieve the precise look required for the film. 

I would confidently recommend her for any project requiring skilled and professional makeup artistry

I had the pleasure of working with Lori, a talented hair and makeup artist, on a film project in Sydney this January, and I couldn't be more impressed with her work.

As an actor what I appreciated the most was Lori’s calm and kind energy, making everyone feel at ease ready to do their job. Lori’s supportive nature was invaluable and her dedication to her craft was evident in every detail, from ensuring the perfect look for each scene to adapting quickly to any last-minute changes. Her creativity really stood out—she knew exactly how to enhance the characters’ appearances while staying true to the vision of the film. Lori's supportive nature also made her a great team player; she always stepped in with encouragement and offered help wherever it was needed. A true professional who adds not only skill, but warmth and positivity and I can’t wait to work with her again!

It was so wonderful to have Lori on-set with us this last weekend. Her kind and calm nature, combined with her dedication to her craft throughout the entire shoot made working with her such a joy.

Her understanding of and creative, yet practical suggestions when working with the hair & makeup briefs provided meant that she crafted the best suited looks for our actors. Doing this meant we had a meticulously organised planning of looks, including a health/safety coverage which was very a reassuring and professional approach.

For anyone looking for a hard working, supportive and warm hair & MUA, I would absolutely recommend Lori!
