Meet our team of passionate makeup artists dedicated to enhancing your natural beauty
Gentle Harrow was founded in 2015 with a simple yet powerful mission: to help clients look and feel their absolute best through the art of professional makeup. What began as a small studio with a single makeup artist has grown into a team of dedicated visagistes, each bringing unique expertise and perspective to our work.
Our founder, Olivia Bennett, started her career in the fashion industry, working with renowned photographers and models before deciding to create a space where everyone—not just those in the fashion world—could experience the transformative power of professional makeup artistry.
Today, we serve clients across the UK, from brides on their special day to corporate professionals preparing for important presentations, and from editorial fashion shoots to individuals simply wanting to learn how to enhance their natural features.
What sets us apart is our personalized approach. We believe that makeup should enhance, not mask, and that every client deserves a customized experience that honors their unique features, preferences, and occasion.
We believe in celebrating individuality and enhancing your natural features rather than masking them. Our approach focuses on bringing out your best while ensuring you still feel like yourself.
Makeup is both an art and a science. Our visagistes combine creative vision with technical precision, staying updated on the latest techniques while maintaining timeless skills.
We're committed to not just applying beautiful makeup but also teaching our clients the skills and knowledge to feel confident in their own routines.
We use professional-grade products chosen for their performance, quality, and increasingly, their environmental impact. Our commitment to excellence extends to our product choices.
Our diverse team of professional visagistes brings a wealth of experience from fashion, bridal, editorial, and educational backgrounds. Each artist has their unique strengths while maintaining our shared commitment to excellence.
