ABOUT CHARLOTTE
Hey, I'm Charlotte, and I have been a professional makeup artist working in the industry for almost 11 years now. In the early days of my career, I worked for Mac Cosmetics where I gained lots of experience working with all different skin tones and skin types. By this point, there isn’t really much I haven’t come across!
Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with a handful of celebrities such as Paige Turley, Lucie Rose Donlan, Jorja Smith, Amber Turner, Scarlett Moffat, Katie Salmon and Cici Coleman to name a few. I have also had the pleasure of working with a handful of TV shows such as Loose Women, Towie and Love Island, many a Red Carpets events, various music videos and London/Paris Fashion week.
I have helped over 500+ brides say “I do” and been part of their special day by letting my makeup tools do the work. My brides have flown me as far as Spain, France and Portugal over the years!
Having gained all the experience I have under my belt, I decided to share my knowledge with aspiring artists. I have since been an accredited trainer for almost 5 years now and have successfully passed over 100+ students now working in the industry. My most favourite thing about my job is how rewarding it is. To change people’s perceptions of themselves positively, and give people the confidence they didn’t have before is why I love what I do.
I have met many faces on my journey, some I am lucky enough to say have become amazing friends over the way, and whom I am incredibly grateful for supporting me over the years. I certainly would not be here without you all!
Hopefully you feel like you’ve got to know me a little better now, and I look forward to working with you in the near future. Charlotte x
