About
Annie Shah is a London based Professional Makeup Artist with extensive experience in Bridal, Fashion and Media Hair and Makeup. She studied Fashion and Editorial Hair and Makeup at the prestigious London College of Fashion and later got further hairstyling training in designing long hair by Patrick Cameron who is acknowledged as the most finest hairstylist in the world. Her best is there for all to see. With a portfolio brimming with examples of her creative flair as seen on both mainstream and Asian fashion shows and publications such as Asiana and Asiana Wedding, her proudest work is of the real brides she has had the pleasure of beautifying. She says: ‘Working with beautiful models for cutting-edge events and magazines may be a brilliant platform to establish myself as a trendsetter, but the real challenge lies in showing how well I can transform real women into works of art.’ With an IT background ensuring the professional side is taken care of, which she suggests is ‘an aspect a lot of people with artistic temperaments tend to fall short of’, her reputation comes from blending her skilful art form seamlessly with outstanding entrepreneurial management skill. Annie beams: ‘In a short space of time, my client list has grown dramatically through word-of-mouth recommendations, which is something you can hope for only when you can provide complete satisfaction. And having a business head on me means I’m in no danger of abusing my popularity by becoming too greedy – every client is taken on only after careful consideration of how well her budget and needs can be aligned with the time I will have available to ensure she gets nothing but the best from me.’The key qualities every successful make-up artist must possess, according to Make-up Extraordinaire Annie Shah, are technique, passion, personality, versatility, and professionalism. She says: ‘To make your mark in this industry, you have to display all five qualities in equal measures, every time, without fail!’ In addition to her broad range of talent and expertise, Annie brings her dynamic personality to her work, balancing dedication and professionalism with a sense of lightness, fun and creativity. Her calm demeanour is an asset to the often-hectic environments of bridal and editorial work.
Services
BRIDALAnnie Shah specialises in Bridal hair and make-up. For her, most brides want to look glamorous, radiant and elegant on their special day so that is exactly the look she sets out to give them. Committed to making every bride look unique by concentrating on her individual features, Annie’s signature look lies in enhancing the eyes. She reveals: ‘It’s tempting for an artist to show off all her skills, but I’m all about keeping the look natural to allow the drama to shine through the bride’s eyes. A striking look is all about focusing on small details without overdoing the whole face.’ It’s this love affair with her craft that makes Annie such a joy for brides to have by their side on their Big Day. Says Annie: ‘From the first point of contact to beyond her wedding day, I make myself approachable – I realise my job is more than making her look the part. She needs to feel at ease to discuss ideas in preparation for the event, and looking to me to calm her nerves on the actual day, so it’s imperative that she finds me easy to connect with. I’m generally a very friendly person anyway, but I think it’s my excitement about bringing the best out in brides that wins them over.’ Offering relaxed consultations that takes everything from the bride’s face shape and skin tone, to her outfit and theme into consideration, every client who walks into her modern studio can expect her undivided attention with unlimited time to take away the pressure of settling for something that’s not exactly what she’s after. Using only top-of-the-range make-up, Annie will apply exclusive products from the likes of MAC, Nars, Laura Mercier and Chanel to see which suits the client’s shade and matches her requirements to perfection. FASHION AND EDITORIALAnnie’s passion, perfectionism and natural flair for makeup has seen her establish a name for herself in the world of fashion and editorial. She has been a makeup artist on a number of advertising and editorial shoots and has worked with top designers backstage to create makeup looks for their latest collections for fashion shows. Due to her years of experience working as a highly sought after makeup within the industry, she understands what is necessary for a makeup artist to succeed at their craft and she knows what clients expect when hiring an artist to create their vision.CELEBRITY AND MEDIAMakeup trendsetter Annie Shah is regularly hired to make sure celebrities look flawless and glamorous in their latest music videos, television projects, award shows or walking down the red carpet for film premieres. All those stars may look drop dead gorgeous but very few people know the secrets behind those killer looks. “I love flawless skin but that doesn’t mean you need to have massive quantities of a thick base.” Says Annie, whose celebrity clients include various British and Bollywood stars. “You don’t need full coverage all over the face. Start with a lightweight liquid foundation, and then use a concealer with good consistency but only in areas that need more coverage. Finish with a powder where needed.”
