I don’t generally write reviews, here or elsewhere, but I was recently looking through my wedding pictures - from 2013, I might add - and felt compelled to write this review. ..She’s just that good. I prefer a very natural look, and have never enjoyed having anyone do my makeup, as it usually feels overdone. However, for my wedding I thought it might be fun to look a little special. I was nervous, but Piera was amazing! She was able to elevate my look without making me feel like someone else. A good makeup artist is creative- a great one has the ability to be both creative and restrained. Piera is truly an artist. Whether you want a glamorous and glitzy look, or prefer “you 2.0”, Piera’s your go to. And just as importantly, she’s a dream to work with. She’s professional and kind, and she has a great sense of humor! I cannot recommend her highly enough. More...

Piera Canu has been doing my makeup for several years for my concerts, television appearances and professional pictures. She's versatile and so perfect in her work. She knows how to create the perfect look according to the occasion and the situation. With her makeup, I always feel confident while on stage or off. Beside her incredible artistry, she is also a wonderful person who makes you feel comfortable and at ease. This is very important for an artist like me, and surely for every woman getting ready for an important event. I highly recommend Piera Canu. She absolutely the best. and feel at her best for any occasion. More...

I can't put into words how incredible Piera is! She is the most talented artist!! Having her do my makeup on my wedding day was the best decision I could have made. She was calm, professional, and made me look STUNNING! She has the ability to do difficult techniques, shape your eyes, and face to bring out your strongest features. She is spot-on with colouring based on your skin tone and works miracles! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! More...

Piera Canu is absolutely amazing. She is the best makeup artist there is! She did my makeup for my wedding and to this day people ask me who did my makeup because it was absolutely flawless. I honestly feel that the day of my wedding , because of Piera's makeup, i looked the most beautiful i have ever looked in my entire life. Piera did my makeup for my wedding, and she did the makeup for BOTH of my brother's weddings. I just wish i had more events to go to so Piera could do my makeup! I have recommended her to all of my friends who are recently engaged. Piera's talents are so above and beyond any other makeup artist who is out there. Aside from her absolute genius when it comes to makeup, she is a wonderful person. Over the past three years, Piera has become a friend to my family. She is wonderfully nice and so incredibly easy to work with. We absolutely love Piera! I highly recommend Piera to ANYONE who needs their makeup done. you will not be sorry. She is incredibly talented and professional. She works magic! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I have always loved my work from fashion photoshoots, to runway, to traveling to many parts of the world for advertising and destination weddings and beauty consulting. Most of all I love working with my individual clients helping them bring out their own natural beauty so they feel self-confident and beautiful.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It's a long story from working at a top beauty salon in Piazza di Spagna in Rome, Italy, to being sent out to do the makeup for leading fashion magazine and finally taking the big step to go out on my own as a free-lance makeup artist. Moving to New York was another big step and I have continued to do fashion and wedding makeup as well as travel back to Europe and the Middle East to work with previous clients.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have extensive experience in both fashion and wedding makeup. My photoshoot experience helps me understand the importance of lighting and I know how the makeup will appear in pictures as well as in person. My salon experience has allowed me to work with clients of all skin types, ages and stylistic tastes. It is very important to understand the person and how they feel best with their makeup. I have done hundreds of weddings over my career though I understand how each client is different and needs to be give individual attention and care.
