Annie Johnson

Annie Johnson is a seasoned makeup artist with over 10 years of experience, known for her creativity and versatility. Based in New York, she specializes in everything from film and television to commercials and editorials.

Sought out for her vision into stunning transformations, Annie has collaborated with directors and actors like Sean Baker, Andrew Lawrence, Mikey Madison, Joey Lawrence, Liza Colón-Zayas, Michael Rispoli, Bobby Cannavale, and the late Anne Heche.

Her most recent project is Sean Baker's 2024 Palme d'Or Award winning film Anora. Stylistically thrilling, hugely entertaining and emotionally genuine, Anora is a singular variation on a Cinderella story that could only come from Sean Baker. Set in 2018, it follows the wild odyssey of its titular protagonist, a young Russian American sex worker who is swept out of her everyday life as an erotic dancer by the impetuous, free-spending son of a Russian oligarch.

Anora was the perfect vessel and creative outlet for her as it allowed her to think outside of the box and use her extensive background in character, beauty and special effects makeup.

Past notable credits include Anora, Frankie Meets Jack, Allswell in New York, Brutal Season and Hangdog.
