““Our Make-Up Artist Awards allow you to showcase your talent and be recognised for your exceptional work among other professionals.
Not only can you gain exposure and build your reputation in the industry, but also gain networking opportunities as well as opening doors to exciting career prospects.””

Lynne has worked within the industry for 20 years now, from running an award winning bridal team nationally, to working on shoots that have featured in Vogue & Sunday Time Style to Elle as well as many more.
Plus as working with many Famous Faces over the years as well as working as a Lead Make-Up Artist at London Fashion Week.
