Hair & Makeup By Carla

Professional London based
Makeup Artist & Hairstylist

My background is in art and graphic design. But my passion soon led me to makeup artistry. I have been a professional hairstylist & makeup artist in London since 2002, and love the work I get to do each and every single day. 

 

I am based in Twickenham/ Richmond and work in and around London as well as abroad. I have been featured in magazines such as French Vogue, Glamour Magazine, Cosmopolitan Brides and countless other publications and I regularly write beauty blogs. I do makeup and hair styling for advertising campaigns, commercials, red carpets events, weddings, celebrities, magazine houses, TV and I am the lead beauty & fashion tutor at Brushstroke Makeup School. I have built up a loyal clientele with repeat business and a lot of my referrals all come from word of mouth. I create bespoke luxury bridal hair styling and makeup for weddings and would describe my style as beautiful and elegant. Flawless hairstyles and polished makeup looks with a hint of fashion is why I am one of the most sought after Makeup Artists in my area.

I specialize in airbrush foundation. Which provides a flawless makeup finish and long lasting makeup. 

I often work at the following hotels within the Richmond-Upon-Thames wedding venues such as The Petersham Hotel, Richmond Hill Hotel, Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Gate Hotel, The Bingham, Petersham Nurseries, York House, Orleans House, Mitre Hampton Court, Alexander Pope Hotel and The Lensbury.

The areas I cover include Twickenham (TW1 & TW2), Isleworth (TW7), Richmond (TW9 & TW10), Kew (TW9), Sheen and East Sheen and Mortlake (SW14), Teddington (TW11), Hampton (TW12), Barnes (SW13), Putney (SW15), Fulham (SW6), Kingston (KT1), Hammersmith (W6), Chiswick (W4), Chelsea (SW1), Clapham (SW4), Hounslow (TW3), Roehampton (SW15), Shepperton (TW17), Wandsworth (SW18). I also cover other areas in South West London, Surrey, Middlesex, as well as central and Greater London for wedding makeup and bridal hairstyling and all special occasion makeup.
