OLIVER HILDEBRANDT: Makeup & Hair Artist
Since I was a child, I’ve studied faces – not just their shape, but the stories written in every smile, every line, and every glance. Today, I tell those stories through makeup and hairstyling – on stages, in front of cameras, and in moments that matter deeply to people.
For over 18 years, I’ve worked across theatre, film, television, editorials, and live productions. I understand how a precise line, a play of light, or the right choice of color can shape an entire atmosphere. My looks don’t happen by chance – they come from a clear artistic vision and the commitment to creating the exact visual identity each project demands.
I move between Europe and the US, collaborating with international artists, productions, and brands – many of them award-winning. But my true highlight isn’t the list of achievements. It’s that fleeting second when the mirror doesn’t just show a face, but a character, a mood, a truth brought to life.
