The Changing Faces Team
Julie
Founder & Consultant
I have been so lucky to have had such a long career doing a job I loved.
Meeting Pierre La Roche, Make-up Artist to the incomparable David Bowie, first sparked my interest in make-up, leading to my training in London in Fashion & Photographic make up.
I founded Changing Faces in 1985. Originally working on commercial make up for many international companies as well as on weddings. But after 34 years I retired as a working MUA finally hanging up my Makeup brushes in 2018 after working with thousands of Brides and on about 20,000 faces!
I am now consultant to my amazingly talented & lovely team & oversee the admin office of what is now a sizable business.
