Hi, I’m Hannah
I’m a self-taught, AOFM trained makeup artist based in West Sussex, UK. I work with you to create your desired looks, but I’m mainly hired for my signature style I like to describe as YOUR skin but BETTER !! Think soft-glam combined with skin goodness, because it isn’t just about the makeup, it’s about the skin we apply it to and I aim to ensure that your skin is perfectly prepped for your dream makeup.
Growing up without girly surroundings (Dad, Brother and a Mum who just isn’t into the typical girly things), I found myself seeking lessons in makeup, fashion and interior design through magazines, tv shows and YouTube! I appreciate that an online presence can fill a void of absence others like me can feel growing up and so, I like to think of my platforms as a safe place to learn and connect. That’s where my community comes into play on my social media platforms, where I share tips and tricks to help you level up your makeup and beauty routines.
