Makeup Artistry
Hair & Make-up

Pia Norberg

“With the wide range of services in make-up artistry, I create realizations that strengthen the roles of the protagonists and support the visual expression of the project. This requirement and its feasibility, even on a larger scale, has been my passion for over 20 years.”

In my stage work, diverse characters, artistic, and technical requirements converge and are addressed collaboratively. I develop concepts for makeup, hairstyles, wigs, and masks, working closely with directors, costume designers, production teams, and performers to create the perfect look for each character.

My great passion for stage, live shows, and open-air theater once led me into the world of makeup artistry. I still love the great challenges of shows of this kind: all the ideas and designs (wigs, make-up etc.) have to show off the characters to their best advantage and are exposed to enormous stresses: countless performances, extreme weather and unconventional environments.

I also enjoy supporting photo and film productions with my work. These are mostly advertising productions or short films. Working for the camera requires a completely different approach and aesthetic than working for the stage. I find the switch between these worlds inspiring and creatively enriching.

I also accompany independent art projects. More and more artists from fields such as film, performance and photography are discovering masking as a creative extension of their work. I am thrilled when my techniques contribute to transforming figures, alienating images or creating new levels of expression. It is precisely in these free contexts that I can bring my creative flair and experience to bear in a completely new way.

Service Portfolio

Concept

I work closely with directors, costume designers, producers and actors/singers/dancers to conceptualize and define the desired look for each character.

My team and I need to be able to apply different make-up and hair techniques on this basis to achieve the desired look.

Organization

I am responsible for the budget and personnel management of the make-up team.

I ensure that resources and budgets are used effectively and monitor the quality and working hours of the team.

I also ensure compliance with the safety and hygiene regulations for the use of make-up artist products.

Personnel

Make-up artists and actors have to harmonize well with each other personally. The right composition of the team inspires the preparation and application of make-up and hair.

MASK DESIGN

From the artistic concept to the final realization, I create masks and mask parts that are perfectly tailored to the respective requirements.

Hair & make-up

I design and realize make-up and hairstyles that emphasize the personality and features of the character and have the best possible effect, especially on stage.

Wig Design

I design and create perfectly coordinated wigs and hairpieces using my extensive knowledge of styles and styles.
