Last weekend saw the return of Professional Beauty London and with it a live makeup competition. Emma Rutherford, our Editorial Director, was delighted to be asked to be a judge, alongside industry experts Armand Beasley, Cathyanne Mac Allister, Dean Rudd, Emma Kotch, Gemma Horner, Jack Oliver, Jo Sugar, Julia Townend, Kamanzaa Amihyia, Leigh Easthope, Martin Carter, Millie Kendall, Megan Thomas, Phyliss Cohen and Tania Grier.
Competion director Lan Nguyen Grealis oversaw categories for both student and professional MUAs, each showcasing the skills it takes to become an expert in the industry. Across Saturday and Sunday MUAs competed in Bodypainting – themed ‘’illusions and camouflage”; Film – themed “film noir”; Editorial – where the looks were inspired by the late fashion designer Thierry Mugler and Bridal, which saw MUAs create mood boards and style their models from head to toe to compliment the look. The final category, Image Award, was based on the upcoming make-up trends for AW22 and took place off the show floor.
