THEO KONTONIS

Theo Kontonis is an NYC-based makeup artist, specializing in makeup & SFX for camera.

Beginning her career at 14 years old in stage & dance makeup, she quickly found her passion for color & storytelling through makeup, which she hones in her work in the fashion and entertainment industries. She is professionally certified by the New York Makeup Academy and her work was recently published in the June 2024 issue of fashion & beauty publication, Selin Magazine. She has developed an extremely versatile skillset ranging from avant garde to clean beauty, editorial to special FX, & beyond.

Being a producer & director herself, Theo has a deep appreciation for the power of makeup in creating characters & visual narratives. She has also designed garments for the runway & stage, allowing her to develop an understanding the relationship between makeup & clothing — how they complement each artists’ unique creative perspectives. Theo looks forward to collaborating with fellow artists, designers, & filmmakers to create powerful, vibrant, & beautiful art together.
