Commercial Makeup Artist in Vancouver
Makeup for brand work, where the look has to serve the product, the campaign and the art direction rather than the artist.
Canadian Choice Award 2026 Winner · Vancouver & Metro Vancouver
Do you work as a commercial makeup artist in Vancouver?
Yes. Haleh Ahmadi works on commercial shoots in Vancouver and Greater Vancouver, including brand campaigns, lifestyle and catalogue photography, branded video and product-led content.
What does commercial makeup involve?
Commercial makeup follows the art direction of the campaign: the look is kept consistent across every model and every frame, stays within the brand's visual language, and is built so the product, garment or message remains the focus.
Where is it available?
Yes. All services are provided on location throughout Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, including North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Delta, White Rock, Langley and Maple Ridge. Destination requests are considered case by case.
Can you work with a full crew?
Yes. Haleh works alongside photographers, directors, stylists, art directors and hair professionals, and takes direction from the creative lead throughout the shoot.
How does booking work?
Send your date, getting-ready location, ready-by time and party size through the inquiry form, by email at info@makeupbyhaleh.com, or by phone or WhatsApp at +1 (604) 771 6617. Haleh confirms availability and sends the options that fit your event.
Built to the brief, not to a signature look
Commercial work starts with the brief. Whether the campaign calls for clean skin and almost no visible makeup, a warm lifestyle glow, or something more graphic, the look is built to match the reference material and stays inside it for the whole shoot.
Where several models appear in the same campaign, the finish is deliberately levelled across all of them so nothing looks inconsistent when the images sit side by side.
- Looks developed from the campaign brief and reference imagery
- Consistency across multiple models and multiple frames
- Skin, hand and detail work where the product sits close to the body
- On-set presence for the duration of the shoot
Campaign, catalogue and branded content
Catalogue and e-commerce days move quickly and often involve many changes, so the makeup is designed to be maintained rather than rebuilt between setups. Campaign and hero imagery gets more time, with the detail work that holds up at large sizes and in close crops.
For branded video and social content, the same look is carried into the moving-image setups so still and motion assets match.
Planning a commercial booking
Send the shoot date, location, call and wrap times, number of models, and the brief or mood board. From that the day is quoted, the schedule is planned, and any additional support needed for a larger cast is confirmed in advance.
Usage, exclusivity or agency requirements can be discussed at the time of booking.

Questions
How are commercial shoots quoted?
Each shoot is quoted individually based on the date, location, call and wrap times, cast size and the scope of the work. Send those details and you will receive the options that apply.
Can you cover a large cast in one day?
Share the call sheet with your inquiry. Larger casts are scheduled in order of call time, and additional support can be arranged where a day requires it.
Do you travel to commercial locations and studios?
Yes. All services are provided on location throughout Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, including North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Delta, White Rock, Langley and Maple Ridge. Destination requests are considered case by case.
Do you work from an agency or client brief?
Yes. Briefs, mood boards and art direction are used to set the look before the shoot day, and are followed on set.
Do you cover both stills and video on the same production?
Yes. Where a production captures both, the same look is carried across the photography and the video setups.
