Professional Beauty was back this weekend with their prestigious Makeup Competition.

Lan Nguyen Grealis, Competition Director and top MUA ran the two-day Makeup Competition, which consisted of five categories – Editorial, Film, Creative Influence, Bridal and Bodypainting – which allowed make-up artists to showcase their creativity and skills in application.

The categories were designed to reflect the ever-changing skills needed for today’s MUAs, with all who took part able to gain invaluable feedback and critique from the best make-up artists in the business. Judges, including British Beauty Council CEO Millie Kendall MBE, were impressed with the calibre of professionals who entered this year.
