How many makeup artists does Starworks rank in Australia?

How does Starworks rank makeup artists nationally?
To rank makeup artists across Australia, Starworks combines each business's Google star rating, its review volume, and whether customers can reach it by website and phone. Volume is weighted because it shows how much evidence stands behind a rating, so a 4.9-star makeup artist with 200 reviews ranks above a 5-star one with 5 reviews. Placement cannot be bought. For scale, the median rating across the 499 highest-rated makeup artists in Australia is 5.0 stars from a median of 43 reviews.
Where can I find the best makeup artists in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for makeup artists in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my makeup artist business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the makeup artist category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of makeup artists in Australia lists the top 50 of the 499 highest-rated makeup artists; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
