ADJOA

The Xceptional Story

Her passion, perfectionist, attentive persona puts her at top for creating breathtaking makeup looks that last. Meet Adjoa, Ghanaian born senior professional makeup artist who moved to Australia in 2016 from New Zealand.

She began her makeup artistry in 2011 as self taught and gradually moved towards studying with world class international trainers and educators such as Donna Mee. She currently provides makeup education as well as services both nationally and internationally. She also has a makeup line by name XM cosmetics which is suitable for all skin types and complexions.

Her Journey of makeup artistry began on her wedding day 6 November 2011. Adjoa experienced extreme inadequacy and disappointment with the makeup application she received from a trained professional. Yes it is true, her complexion was incompletely matched. She looked extremely darker as well as Ashy. Believe it or not this has been for the longest time a problem known to many woman with deeper skin complexions. At that point Adjoa knew zero about bridal makeup artistry. However she did know for sure she could look better, more beautiful than she did. To make matters worse, her husband to be recognised something was wrong. His first glance as Adjoa approached the aisle gave it away. You see terrible makeup can not be hidden, one can see it from miles.

Adjoa recognised this and took an oath to ensure she studies the art of artistry so that she provide suitable services for all skin complexions. Adjoa not only loves to compliment skin, she loves to see confidence, satisfaction, excitement and beauty in the eyes of her clients. Why the name Xceptional Makeup? The name came about as a description for the creations adjoa provided her clients upto date.
