With over 25 years working as a face and body painter and almost 20 years as a professional makeup artist, my creative skills, technical ability and qualification in Fashion & Editorial Makeup have led me to become a sought-after artist within the fashion, face and body painting industry.
I am available throughout the UK and Ireland for editorial makeup, fashion shows, portfolio shoots and demonstrations. My work has been featured in international publications including WarPaint Magazine and Gladys Magazine USA.
In the very early stages of my career in 2011, I was selected as assistant makeup artist to London-based celebrity makeup artist Jo Adams for the MTV EMA awards in Belfast. I was also a finalist in the Illamasqua Distinction in Makeup Artistry Awards in London that same year, meeting and having my work judged by her idols Alex Box and Pixiwoo.

With 25 years of industry experience under my belt, I offer professional face painting and body art techniques suitable for a wide range of events and applications. Whether you are an expectant mum wishing to have a bump painting or a corporate client looking to make a marketing splash, this is a unique way to let your personality and brand shine through!
Face Painting Training
S.A.K. Makeup is the leading company for children’s face painting training within Northern Ireland. All courses are taught personally by myself, founder of Face Paint BOOTCAMP NI. Regular workshops entitled ‘An Introduction to Face Painting’ are offered at my studio, focusing on key skills including basic sponge and brush work, blending and health & safety. These courses are also a popular choice for self-taught painters wishing to refresh their key skills. Face painting lessons are also available for corporate clients, groups and individuals.
