Yolanda Bartram is a world award-winning artist, who specializes in extravagant make up, body art and special FX.
With over 25 years of experience, she transforms normal people into works of art.
Yolanda is the co founder and CEO of BODYFX, New Zealand's most loved make-up and special FX shop. In 2001 Yolanda and her mother Nicole realised, after coming from the Netherlands, that specialty make up and training was hard to find in New Zealand. That's why we source and manufacture quality product. So people can feel inspired and express themselves creatively.
