Venus Lee

With over 30 years in the industry, Venus is a Sydney-trained, internationally experienced makeup and hair artist whose work spans film, fashion, television, theatre, and beyond. Trained at the prestigious Film Makeup Technology academy in Annandale, she holds a Diploma in Film, SPFX, and Wig Styling, and is also a qualified hairstylist, having completed her apprenticeship in Sydney’s Chinatown.

Venus has worked across every facet of media — from feature films and high-end fashion shoots to political campaigns and live theatre. Her credits include a decade at Network Ten as 2IC in Hair, Makeup & Wardrobe for news, current affairs, and special coverage; TVCs, red carpets, and events like the Logie Awards; and recent projects like Bear Country (film) and the Labor Party’s federal and state election campaigns. She also had the honour of working with Priscilla Presley on the Elvis and Me tour on the Gold Coast.

She has led makeup for over 15 years in theatre, designing character looks, building teams, and creating magic with wigs and transformation. Venus has taught Certificate III and Diploma students in makeup academies, passing on her deep knowledge and passion for the craft.

Her skill set includes airbrushing, wigs, character transformation, and the rare ability to work seamlessly across diverse cultural settings — from Bollywood productions in Sydney to international crews around Australia. Known for her warm, calming energy, Venus is always punctual, prepared, and focused on delivering beautiful results with the finest products.

Every client in her chair is treated like a star — because to Venus, they are.
