About Me — Mel England
I’m a professional makeup artist with years of experience working with women of all ages, especially those over 40. I’ve been featured in The Telegraph, Yorkshire Post, Brides Up North, and more. I trained with industry leaders including Jemma Kidd, The London Makeup Studio and Colour Me Beautiful, and I teach with a calm, supportive, and non-intimidating approach.
As a woman in my early 50s, I understand firsthand the changes that come with time — and how empowering the right makeup can be.
