Lucy Payne Makeup Artistry

My passion for make up started at a young age when I used to take part in dance shows. All the glitz and the glam, it was the stuff of a young girls dream. So it's not surprising that when I left school I signed up for the hair and makeup course at Cambridge regional college, completing two years of training. It was in my last year there that I decided to apply for my dream job at MAC Cosmetics. Working for MAC was an experience I shall never forget, it enabled me to broaden my knowledge and gain experience with a vast range of clientele. It was a make up lovers dream and a truly valuable experience. After 2 years working for MAC I decided to stretch my wings and fly out on my own. Although it's one of the most nerve wracking things I've done it's been the most rewarding. I have been lucky to work with a local magazine for a shoot, and do the makeup for a fashion show. My days are filled with bridal trials and make up for my brides big day, proms and lessons.... it's so rewarding sharing my love of make up. I travel all over the country but am based out of my studio in St Neots, Cambridgeshire. I love having a base for my beautiful clients to come to. Congratulations on your engagement!! The excitement of wedding planning can now commence! With lots to think about and start planning here is an insight of how booking in your makeup artist goes. Booking your Venue will be top of the list but once your date and venue is secured I would encourage you to book your chosen makeup artist. You will not be surprised to find out that I can get booked up to 2 years in advance. In order to secure me as your makeup artist all you need to do is to send through an enquiry, detailing your chosen date and time of the wedding (especially the time you need to be ready for) and the location you are getting ready at. If I have your date available I will then contact you to secure the booking and arrange for the deposit of £50 to be paid to secure the date. ​
