With a passion for crafting captivating characters and transforming appearances, Malin embarked on her journey in the film industry as a makeup artist and SFX enthusiast. Her adventure commenced in 2015 when she stepped into the world of makeup, eventually specializing by studying SFX at the renowned Cinema MakeUp School in Los Angeles, where she completed the intensive "The Complete Track" program over 6 months.
Upon her return from Los Angeles, Malin immediately immersed herself in an exciting project with Heder. Her foundation as a hairstylist has also proven to be a valuable asset in her work, as she uses it to cut, color, and perm to achieve the perfect look.
Growing up in Trollhättan, a city renowned for its ties to film production, has always been a wellspring of inspiration for Malin. Witnessing ordinary people accomplish extraordinary feats within the film industry has been a driving force throughout her career.
Malin's work as a makeup artist and SFX expert is strongly influenced by the nature of each project. She allows the script to guide her, seeking out the unique aspects of each character. Her goal is to uncover the quirky, the ugly, and all the various shades required to breathe life into the narrative.
For Malin, filmmaking is about exploration and creation, letting the imagination run wild, and turning ideas into reality. She looks forward to continuing her journey in the world of film and allowing her creativity to flourish in every project she undertakes.
