Beauty – Brisbane

In 2014, I was stepping onto my first feature film set as an actor. I was incredibly fortunate to witness some of hollywood's best makeup and fx artist's and the magic they create. ​ Although I worked as an actor for the film during my four months on set, being in and out of sound stages, makeup studio's and various roles, I knew this experience had awoken another creative monster inside of me. ​ The same year, I began my Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Theatre at Griffith University. Throughout my degree i dabbled in a mountain of creative fields, exploring my passion for makeup, design, costume & performance. ​ I worked on various shows, primarily as a performer but in 2016 I began work as a makeup artist for two productions. ​ In late 2016, i decided it was time to run full speed with makeup artistry and created my Instagram and brand of Nick James FX. ​ Now in 2018, working in theatre as an assistant director, performer, creator and makeup artist/designer. I continuously embark on self-driven makeup projects that challenge and tempt my wild sense of creativity. ​ Prepare yourselves and let's make magic. ​ - Nick x
