Supporting Artists Facing Real Challenges:
The beauty industry is built on freelance work, yet artists often lack the structural support other professions take for granted.

“We don’t get maternity leave or childcare benefits. I’m on a mission to change that.”
A Company Rooted in Empowerment:
Since its founding in 2022, Makeup by Nida & Team has grown from a local Toronto startup to a multi-city powerhouse, with operations now spanning Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver. The company has booked over 1,000 appointments annually and contributed more than $1M directly to the Canadian hair and makeup artist community through wages and subcontract opportunities.
This grant builds on the company’s mission to empower women through makeup and create sustainable opportunities for artists across Canada.
