“As an Irish Dancer, I know how important it is to have confidence and, for myself, I know looking my absolute best on competition days always gives me that confidence boost to go on stage and give it my all,” explains makeup artist Roisin Redmond.

From a young age, Rosin expressed an interest in makeup, honing and developing her skills along the way. As someone with an exceptional eye, Rosin studied textiles and Graphic Design at the university level. This budding entrepreneur also has a qualification in Business studies. Though it all, Rosin kept her eye on the idea of working toward launching her own make-up service for dancers. The idea is not unusual as there has been a plethora of new entries in the Irish Dancing makeup space. In fact, demand for talented makeup artists is high on Irish Dancing’s competition circuit.

Roisin’s entry into the makeup world has been seamless. She initially worked through her family’s well know feis vendor business, Redmond Rose. Based in the UK, Redmond Rose is an authorized seller of Camelia Rose’s product line and it was here Roisin launched her career as a makeup artist.

“I am grateful for the support and opportunities I have been given from both Camelia Rose and Redmond Rose on my journey, including the opportunity to be one of the makeup artists at the Camelia Rose photo shoot and to work alongside the company at the 2019 Worlds.”

While still working for Redmond Rose, Roisin also has her own standalone Instagram page @makeupbyroisinr. “It is my goal to work in this kind of industry being a full-time makeup artist in either media or theatre and I am embarking further training in September to support this.” Visit @makeupbyroisinr on Instagram or Redmond Rose on Facebook and Instagram for upcoming event schedules and appointment availability.
