Lucy Mckeown - Professional Makeup Artist
Image by Drew Tommons
Hi! I am Lucy.
During my 10 year career in makeup I have acquired vast, in depth knowledge in all aspects of makeup design from beauty makeup right through to casualty and light special effects. I have been lucky enough to work with some exceptional photographers in some of the worlds most beautiful places. International travel is one of my absolute favourite "perks" of the job!
I consider myself to be resourceful, and creative and always work on my own initiative. I take inspiration from all walks of life. Other artists, paintings even a passage in my favourite book can spark an imaginative idea.
I am fully proficient and experienced in all aspects of makeup application from high fashion right through to every day looks and bridal. I have worked within every medium imaginable too. Print is the most common however I have been head of department on films, worked on TV commercials and music promo's.
I have worked on every type of client. From TV presenters to models. Nervous brides to people needing to learn how to apply medical corrective techniques. Past clients include Playboy Accessories, Sky TV, Seasalt Organic Clothing, Charnos and Freemans catologues to name just a few. I believe that every client is unique and should be approached and treated as an individual. Makeup means different things to different people and I firmly believe in using it to bring out the best in everyone. Making someone feel beautiful on this inside is the key to making them shine on the outside.
In my personal life I am based in a lovely little Georgian apartment in Liverpool City Centre but I travel throughout the UK and Europe. When I get the time, I enjoy writing and reading and most creative endeavours. Some I am good at, some I just like doing!
I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoyed creating it! (All hair also done by me unless otherwise stated!)
