JT Makeup - Stand A2

Education maven Julia Townend knows what makes a great artist, having helped to write the course guidelines for numerous colleges.  Julia continues to work as an in-demand freelancer across film, TV and editorial, while also producing her much-loved glitters and gold leaf which have earned places in her peers' kits.

Arwa Lashes - Stand A4

Shazia Khan's experience at the top of her game in the Asian Bridal sector led to repeated disappointments with false lashes - so, naturally, she went ahead and made her own.  Her high quality synthetic fibre lashes are often mistaken for real mink, such is their softness.  Cruelty-free, double-stacked and re-useable, these are lashes with a difference.

Ash Cosmetics - Stand A5

If your constant niggle with brands is a disappointing lack of pigmentation then be sure to visit Ash Cosmetics.  Their premium quality pigmented cosmetics are packaged in customisable palettes, letting you put together your a refillable configuration of your favourites; mix and match to cut down on the amount of products you need to stash in your daily kit.

Lei Lash - Stand A7

These luxury strip lashes were in development for over two years, with the team determined to painstakingly create the best lash styles for all eye shapes.  Hand-tied with a flexible band to ease application, you can choose from silk and 3D Mink options which can be reused for up to 25 times - and with great offers available it's a great time to stock up.

Airbase - Stand A9

The home of high definition airbrush beauty, there's a reason why so many artists keep flocking back to Airbase's machines and cosmetics.  With their carefully balanced silicone formulas the products have incredible flexibility and durability.  Airbase is used backstage at stage shows, fashion shows and TV productions regularly - have you tried it yet?

 Mona Turnbull - Stand A10

We are huge fans of Nanshy's synthetic brush range.  Not only are they extremely affordable, varied in style and cruelty-free, their brush shapes have been extremely well thought out and result in excellent application.  Their carefully curated brush sets are great value and have put together the perfect tools for your ideal look.

Tina Earnshaw Brushes - Stand C3

Oscar-nominated and Ridley Scott's right-hand woman, Tina knows a thing or two about brushes.  Frustrated by the lack of quality brushes coming out of Europe, she developed her own range of luxurious, hand-sculpted tools to achieve the perfect look.  Be sure to check out the beautiful silk brush rolls which go alongside them.
