Pim Makeup Artist in Hua Hin, Thailand

I Help Women See Their Beauty. Because Confidence Is Visible.

My Story

From Bangkok to San Francisco to Sweden — and Back Again

I was born in Thailand, but I've never quite stayed in one place. Beauty, for me, has always been a conversation across cultures — the way a Western bride softens her eyes, the way a Scandinavian bride holds her composure, the way a Thai bride carries quiet confidence on the most important day of her life.

My journey started in Bangkok, where I trained as a hair stylist and fell in love with the way a single touch could change how someone felt about themselves. I wanted more — better technique, better products, better understanding of skin from every part of the world. So I packed my brushes and moved to San Francisco.

In California, I earned my Master's in Makeup Artistry and worked backstage at runway and fashion shows. Working with clients across the US, Europe and Asia has shaped my technique and the way I approach every look.

From there I moved to Sweden, where I opened my own makeup boutique and became the personal artist for Dr. Mouna on TV4. My years in Sweden taught me something the textbooks never could — how to make a woman feel completely calm on her most emotional morning.

And then I came home. To Hua Hin. To the place I always knew I'd return to. Today I get to combine everything — Thai warmth, American technique, Swedish precision — for couples flying in from all over the world to celebrate the start of their lives together. There is no better job in the world.

At Pim Makeup Artist (PMU Artist), my process is built around one belief: every bride already has her own signature beauty. My job is to bring it forward — not to paint a different woman onto her face.

It always starts with a conversation. Before any brush touches your skin, we talk — about your dress, your venue, the photos you've saved, the looks you've ruled out, your skincare, what you actually want to feel like when your partner sees you. The trial isn't a rehearsal of a fixed plan. It's where we refine, adjust, and decide on a look together.

On the wedding morning, I bring the calm. I arrive early, set up quietly, work through the timeline I've built with you, and stay long enough to make sure you feel completely steady before you walk out the door. There are no surprises, no last-minute panics — just a long, soft morning of getting ready with people who love you.

I keep my products honest. Long-wearing, photography-tested, climate-ready. You'll look like yourself — not a filtered, retouched version — and you'll still look like yourself in the photos you'll keep for the rest of your life.

What's In My Kit

Premium Products, Every Time

I use premium, long-wearing products — chosen for their longevity, their photography results, and their performance in Thailand's warm, humid climate.

Pim is absolutely wonderful and a very skilled make up artist. I booked a make up test with her prior to my wedding and we talked about what colours I like and what kind of look I was going for and we tried a few options. And on the day, I loved my hair and make up. Pim brought the A-team, a hair stylist and a second make up artist for bridesmaids and mum. The hairstylist was really great and I loved how it framed my face it looks balanced. I love that Pim accentuated my features and I still looked like me after make up, sometimes after make up it can feel like not your own face but I looked and felt like me but better. Pim is highly skilled, trained internationally and clear with communications. You can absolutely trust her for your wedding day. And the pricing is reasonable.

If you are looking for a real professional makeup artist and hair stylist in the Thailand islands, go get Pim. I stayed up until 5am looking for an expert HMUA for my wedding events and found her. Pim is not just any makeup artist, she is professionally trained and really puts love and technique to bring out the glam you envision. She did my hair and makeup for my Welcome Dinner/Desoltera and I felt so relaxed during the process, and the final look really set the beautiful mood for the rest of the night. She also did my Mom, my sisters, and bridesmaids' makeup for the wedding - they all looked gorgeous and enjoyed the experience. Thank you Pim, I want to find an excuse/occasion to fly you to Manila and do our makeup again! 🙂

I was so impressed by Pim’s professionalism and skill for my wedding in Hua Hin. She listened to me during the trial and worked well to ensure myself and my bridesmaids loved our hair and make-up. I was keen to find someone who had decent experience with Caucasian skin and was no lt disappointed. Highly recommend!

My wedding day was in June 2019 and I was very careful and picky when I chose who to trust doing my make up on my big day. I am so happy I chose PMU Artist. Pim was very attentive and detail oriented, she listened to my concerns and understood exactly what I was looking for. From the initial trial make-up up to the Big Day - Pim made everything looking flawless and I didn't have to worry about anything else than enjoying my day and looking beautiful.

Pim did an amazing job for my afterparty look and she delivered exactly what I wanted - a soft glam thai look and a beautiful half up hairdo all in 2hours without a hairstylist. Amazing efficiency and work!
