About make-up

Professional make-up is booked for occasions: weddings, proms, parties, photoshoots and black-tie events. A make-up artist preps the skin, then builds a look to brief — from soft and natural to full glam — using professional products chosen to last through a long day and photograph well. Most also offer strip or individual lashes as part of the application.

Bridal make-up is the biggest part of the market and usually includes a trial a few weeks before the wedding to agree the look and test how it wears. Many artists are mobile and travel to the bride and bridal party on the morning, often working alongside a hairstylist. Lessons are a growing sideline too: an hour learning to do your own everyday or evening make-up with what is already in your bag.

A single application takes 45 minutes to an hour; bridal parties need a full morning. Arrive with clean, moisturised skin and photos of looks you like.

Where to find it in London

Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea hold the advanced skin clinics and the flagship brow and lash studios, where consultations come first, treatments are sold as courses and prices run well above the rest of the city. Soho and Shoreditch are the home of the nail art studios and the late-opening lash bars, busy after work and booked solid on Friday evenings. Kensington and Paddington mix long-established neighbourhood salons with threading bars and laser clinics, and Canary Wharf is a weekday market built around lunchtime appointments: express facials, gel manicures and brow shapes squeezed into an hour.
