Meet Gemma Clarke;
What is your main streamline of work?
My passion is certainly bridal and event makeup. I do also branch out to commercial, film and SFX regularly for all an array of projects.
What makes your clients choose you?
I believe the way I style peoples makeup by enhancing their natural beauty is what my clients love to see – their true selves in their best light. Also, being reliable, friendly, organised, well equipt and calm keeps my clients looking no further for their special events.
How did you become a makeup artist?
I have always been interested in makeup since a young teen, proceeding to ignore advice to sit A levels and go straight to college to study my art - Theatrical & Media Makeup Artistry including part level 2 Hair dressing for 2 years. I there began my journey assisting other artists and building a professional portfolio, gaining a vast client base over the past 12+ years.
Who would be your dream client?
It would have to be Beyonce – because… well she’s Beyonce!
What do you love most about being a makeup artist?
I love seeing transformation reactions. People seeing themselves in a whole new light and realising the potential of their features and natural beauty. A clients reaction to my work is a magical feeling.
How would you describe your makeup style in 3 words?
Enhancing natural beauty.
What can somebody expect when they sit in your makeup chair?
They can expect a warm and friendly approach with an understanding ear and professional hands to help achieve their desired look. Clients describe me to have a light touch with a makeup finish that doesn’t feel heavy.
How do you want your work to be remembered?
Being versatile to suit my each clients individual needs that will never feel unnecessarily overdone. A true representation of beauty and confidence.
