Sarah Down Professional Makeup

My favourite part about my job? Making people feel good about themselves and being a safe and calm space. I get to meet and work with such amazing humans, there’s times that it doesn’t even seem real. Seeing posts like Deantha Edmunds’ about how I made them feel brings a happiness to my heart that I can hardly put into words. Thank you for trusting me for your special performance Deantha, those moments will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️

“I absolutely loved my makeup on Canada Day, thanks to the expertise of SARAH DOWN!
Nakummesuak, thank you SO much for making me look and feel beautiful for that momentous occasion opening the National Noon Ceremony! You are a gem!”

I had the honour of providing makeup for Canada Day opening act, the incredibly talented Deantha Edmunds! Deantha is Canada’s first Inuk professional classical soprano. Performing ‘Anânak silatsualimâk’ in Inuttitut and accompanied by the amazing percussionist and composer, Rob Power.

On a day filled with chaos, it’s your people who keep you grounded. Canada Day 2026 definitely did not go as planned for many reasons, but our team stayed strong, worked together, and supported each other. Even when we were trapped in our trailer due to the storms, it was all smiles and laughter filling our little space. The evening show was eventually cancelled and we were shuttled out to safety. Thank you for being you. I appreciate you all, more than you’ll ever know 🥹❤️ Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦⛈️

Another year of the at the .cna! Hats off to our incredible H&MU team, Wardrobe Technicians, Stagehands, and all of our sisters and brothers of who work tirelessly behind the curtain to make this event possible 💛

Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S), is observed on May 5th. The day honours and brings awareness to the thousands of Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people who have been subject to disproportionate violence in Canada. MMIWG2S is a human rights crisis of gender-based and racialized violence in Canada.
It also serves as a powerful reminder of the violence indigenous communities face in Canada and the need for more awareness, justice, and change.
