I worked backstage as a makeup artist for a runway show presented by Fashion and Music Conference during London Fashion Week.

The role involved working as part of a fast-paced backstage makeup team responsible for preparing a high volume of models for the runway. This required executing makeup looks efficiently and accurately under tight time constraints, while maintaining consistency across multiple faces to meet the show’s visual direction.

Backstage work demanded strong technical speed, adaptability, and clear communication with fellow makeup artists, dressers, and show coordinators. Looks needed to be completed quickly, checked for uniformity, and adjusted for lighting and movement before models went on the walk.

This experience reflects professional on-set discipline within a live fashion environment, demonstrating the ability to work under pressure, follow creative direction precisely, and contribute effectively to a large-scale production where timing and cohesion are critical.
