As a young girl, she loved art and painting, and after studying to become a make-up artist, she made her way to the top beauty salons in Rome. Her talent was quickly recognized by private clients and major fashion photographers, and she went on to work with leading fashion magazines, major designers, TV producers, and video and fashion shows. As head make-up artist for fashion shows in Rome and Milan, she was responsible for recruiting other make-up artists and working with designers as a creative consultant. She has also appeared on fashion and beauty programs on Italian TV and radio, and developed and presented workshops at make-up schools in Rome. Recently, Piera was behind the scenes at Fashion Week, Spring 2006 in New York, making up celebrities such as Katherine Zeta Jones and Katie Couric with Olympus photographer Timothy Greenfield Sanders. Piera has worked extensively in fashion as well as with celebrities, brides, and private clients over the past 15 years. She works in all genres of make-up including the ultra-natural, the sophisticated, and the glamorous, yet she approaches each make-up as a unique study of the face, accentuating the natural qualities of each individual, while masking imperfections. Clients especially appreciate her original technique: creating a soft, natural base that produces a look of freshness and light. “Thanks to Piera, I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. She is a true artist because her work looks like nature, only better. She brings out one’s best features in the most subtle and tasteful ways. She is a pleasure to work with, too, as she brings her positive energy with her into a room” Diane Tesdesco Public Relations Consultant As a wedding planner, with over twenty years' experience, I can say without hesitation that Piera Canu is the most talented make-up artist I know. Piera has a special, continental charm about her. She has a warm, empathetic personality which makes it a pleasure for me to work with her, and also provides a comforting and supportive atmosphere for my brides on their most special day. Piera has a unique combination of talents which enable her to draw out the natural beauty of each bride, visible on the surface and felt inside.
