Makeup made to feel good in
The One Behind
The Brush
Hey! I’m Kayleigh! I'm a makeup artist of 10+ years based in East London (and that’s my dog Mio!).
I specialise mainly in beauty editorial, commercial and editorial brides. I freaking LOVE makeup, nothing excites my bones more than making people feel more confident through the power of art. I also love connection, to me - that’s one of the most important parts of the job, connecting with my models and muses, and making them feel happy, excited and fulfilled.
Other than painting faces, I teach my wonderful community of students on By Kayleigh, I LOVE exploring London (my favourite areas are Notting Hill, Shoreditch and Little Venice), finding the best Japanese food to eat and hanging out with my dogs, Eevee and Mio.

Testimonials

"From the first time we spoke on email, to the trial to the actual day - Kayleigh was a dream. As someone who has never had their make up done before, she made me feel comfortable, she was generous with her knowledge and she encouraged me to be vocal about what I did and didn’t like to make sure my make up was tailored to me. On my wedding day she fit in easily with my friends and family and stayed around after my make up was done to do final touch ups. My make up wore perfectly all night, people even asked if I have a MUA with me doing touch ups!"

"Kayleigh is a dream! I came to her wanting to re-learn the basics and upgrade my make-up routine and she didn't disappoint. She has such a warm and down-to-earth approach that makes her teaching style incredibly effective. I absolutely LOVED our time together and what she helped me create. I felt naturally beautiful and radiant and the compliments I received from strangers that day on my make up was icing on the cake. I can't wait to set up another tutorial with her and learn more!"

"Kayleigh is my go to any time I need a makeup artist (and basic hair) on a shoot now! She’s done amazing skin prep work also for me for clients such as Superdrug and Tolpa Skincare. Absolutely wouldn’t go to anyone else for any shoots that need makeup"
