"She has a lot of experience with movie/theatrical/special effects makeup"

I would say that Marina is very skilled. She has a lot of experience
with movie/theatrical/special effects makeup and is equally skilled
at more subtle applications. I think the combination enables her
to give a bride any look that she might want.
