Make Up Artist

My passion is working with people to create images, videos, and in-person looks. I have experience with make up for film, live performance, photoshoots, and events. I specialise in makeup for all skin tones, ages and genders. I understand beauty trends but will never push others into conforming to a certain aesthetic or standard.

Per hour rate upon request.

Relevant expenses for travel outside London is applicable.

Workshops can be on an hourly rate basis or a price per person.

I also offer consultations which might include spending a day with someone, looking through the makeup and tools they own already, showing them how to best utilise those tools, and suggesting what they might need to add to their makeup collection. I would also help them apply their makeup to help them with general makeup skills. This can be for day to day makeup, an event, or any purpose.

Workshops and 1 on 1.

Umber has delivered makeup workshops at venues such as Tate Britain and Open Barbers with people aged 5-75. Whatever it is you want to learn about makeup, a workshop can be arranged in a group or one on one. Workshops Umber has delivered include ‘Playing with Gender Face to Face’, ‘Masculine Makeup’ and ‘Feminine Faces’ where participants learned to accentuate certain shapes in the face to suit their gender identity, have fun with new looks, give them more control over their personal safety, and improve their confidence.

 

One on one makeup consultations are an opportunity to learn more about what suits you and how to use makeup you may already have. These one on ones are really in your hands, you can learn how to do drag, how to do an everyday face for an office job, or an everyday face for a pole dancing job. It is really personalised to your needs.
