June Kelly Founder

Make-up Artist / Hair stylist

I‘ve been a make-up artist and hair stylist for 10 years. I spent 2 years training in special effects and fashion/catwalk make-up and 2 years in costume design and make-up for TV/ theatre and film.

I worked for cosmetic house Pout for 4 years as events manager, assistant manager and manager of their flagship store in Covent Garden, London and finally as part of their creative team. Being a member of the creative team I worked on London Fashion Week for such fashion houses as Topshop, Diesel and Hobbs. I travelled to Paris and Dublin for the launching of their new colour collections, and headed their team of make-up artists for the VIP pamper lounge at V-fest, making up their high profile guests such as Peaches Geldof and Colleen McLaughlin.

My freelance work includes make-up and hair for ITV, ITV 2, BBC Three, Channel Dave, UK Gold, QVC, Gillette, Findus, Sunday Times, Camera Press, Getty Images, Orchard, Sky TV, on line magazine Mantra Weddings and teaching for the London Make-up Academy, and I have just recently completed work as part of the make-up team on the ITV hit series Dancing on Ice. Also being a hair stylist I am the international trainer and stylist for premium U.S hair care range Fredric Fekkai, and have recently travelled to Dublin and Dubai for their latest events. I have also styled the hair for project catwalk winner Jasper Garvida's latest editorial shoot.
