Onika Edwards is a professional makeup artist in Trinidad. Having lived in London for a number of years she returned to Trinidad to chart a new direction for her life. The new chapter she embarked on was about embracing her creative desire via Makeup Artistry.​


​Encouraged by her childhood friend to showcase her creative talent, Onika sought the knowledge and experience of world renowned makeup artist Mr. Ephraim Hunte . Under his direction she trained in Creative/ Carnival makeup as well as Bridal makeup artistry. She credits Mr. Hunte for nurturing her natural talent and for his continued support. Onika also holds a Bsc in Computing, MBA in International Business and is a certified Event Coordinator.

Her love for design, colour and the creative process have purposed her path on developing looks for the catwalk, photo-shoots, film, print & media etc. She has worked with a varied list of clientele from Actors to Soca Artistes, touching the faces of our iconic Fashion Designers. With a strong passion for film Onika holds three (3) IMDb Credits for 'A Story About Wendy', 'Escape from Babylon' and 'Jab in the Dark'.



One of her favourite quotes is: "The only courage you ever need is the courage to live your dreams." Oprah
