GET TO KNOW SOPHIE...
Sophie - Head Makeup Artist
Hello!
Sophie here, the Founder and Owner of my Makeup Empire 'Makeup by Sophie Downing'
I have been in the makeup industry for over 10years! As soon as I left school I went straight into studying Makeup Artistry for 2 years, leading me into Makeup for Photography, fashion shows, and catwalk
This is where my flare for makeup really shone.
Until I had my first wedding booking, and it flipped my outlook upside down - the heavy, glam, fashion makeup was taking a back seat, and the enhancing, natural and beautiful makeup made centre stage.
And here we are now!
Creating makeup for around 100 brides a year, and also teaching personal 1:1 makeup lessons for self-confidence.
- My star sign is a Cancer, I love all things Law of Attraction and I am a big believer of accomplishing everything you desire in your life! (No matter how crazy)
- I love to travel and go on holiday as much as humanly possible around my bridal bookings.
- My biggest hobby outside of my passion and love for makeup is Health and Fitness.
I make time to work out daily and live a healthy balanced lifestyle, feeling my body with nutrition and a little naughtiness.
- Oh and I am addicted to a mid-morning coffee boost!
