Susana Santos, a makeup artist specializing in SFX and editorial makeup, joined Lisbon Fashion Week’s team at just 20. Her career took her from London to New York and Paris, where she refined her signature style—sophisticated grunge with seamless blends and bold contrasts.

Susana Santos work has been featured in L’Officiel, Elle, Número, and more, with collaborations ranging from brands like Benetton and Microsoft to the runways of Paris and Lisbon Fashion Week.

She led makeup for designers Lee Young and Jean Luc Amsler and contributed to major projects, including Saint Laurent’s FW 2013/14 with Aaron de Mey and Madonna’s Medellín video.

Susana Santos has worked with icons like Jerry Hall and Lindsay Lohan, but beyond the glamour, she challenges the fashion industry’s constraints, using her craft as both rebellion and self-expression.
