Makeup by Priscilla | Why we are unique and what we offer

Why choose makeup by Priscilla for your makeup consultation and tutorial

Why Make up by Priscilla... have you ever felt this way?

You are a novice to makeup, unsure about shades and textures and how to apply.
You are not fond of the idea of visiting a makeup counter.
You have 10 mins in the morning to do a quick makeup, but how?
You are a makeup lover and want to refresh your skills.

We can all relate to some of the above. Certainly from the experience of speaking to many ladies across a range of ages, these seem to be some of the most commonly faced challenges. Yet tailored personal tutorials don't seem to be very accessible at beauty salons or provided by most makeup artists.

About Priscilla Clayton, makeup artist

A little bit about Priscilla Clayton

I was born and bred in China, where girls in school weren't allowed any makeup. Things might be a little different now, but back when I was growing up, it was forbidden and frowned upon. Being beautiful was deemed as a distraction to your study. All girls were dressed in dull school clothing and makeup was a wild dream that was always out of reach. I discovered my passion for makeup when I hit my early teens. I came across a TV show in which a celebrity makeup artist demonstrated some amazing transformations from makeup application and I was instantly hooked up. The first lipstick I ever owned and used was a Maybeline which was purchase in 1997, the first year in my University - maybe I finally thought I was worth it!

After graduation in China, I came to England and pursued further eduction in the University of Leicester and embarked on my 13 years of E-commerce and Marketing career until I had my son. Life circumstance changed drastically and I decided to take a bold move to pursue my childhood dream which I am still passionate about. No time wasted, I enrolled in a full time makeup course with DFMA, renowned for being one of the best makeup academies in the UK. I was trained by some of the top makeup artists specialising in bridal makeup, TV & Fashion show makeup, and celebrity red carpet makeup. The initial thought was to improve my own makeup skills. Post the graduation, I realised that my true passion lies in teaching and sharing my skills. Similarly I have been enjoying teaching as a Lesmills Bodycombat instructor - both pursuits offer me the happiness derived from helping others to transform into a better version of themselves.

I am a true animal lover who supports and donates to many animal charities. On my doorstep you will find an unlimited supply of bird food in industrial sized feeders! I am also a complete, happy slave to two family cats.
