Makeup: The Sunday Times Bestseller and practical step-by-step guide to makeup and beauty from much-loved makeup artist Hannah Martin

Product Information

In February 2020, Hannah joined Channel 5's revamped '10 Years Younger in 10 Days' series as the resident makeup expert. Her life-changing makeovers captured hearts and accolades alike, culminating in the show winning Best Fashion and Makeup Show at the 2021 National Reality TV Awards. While she loves working with the A-list, she gets just as much joy from giving make-up masterclasses to her fans. She says that in her experience, the most common mistake older women make is ‘either not doing anything because they are paralysed by this fear that they’re going to look worse, or they do too much in a bid to recreate the make-up they wore at a time in their life when they felt most confident’.

Martin, 31, may be a Royal family favourite, but it’s a subject she’s not allowed to talk about. When I ask – a few days before the Coronation – whether she’ll be tending to any royal faces during the event, she says she is contractually obliged not to say.Martin doesn’t rule out launching her own range in the future. ‘I’ve dabbled in product development [she has collaborated with Beauty Pie, Ciaté London and MyBeautyBrand]. So yes, I suppose I have a blue sky dream. But the market is saturated at the moment.’ Hannah Martin's commitment to artistic excellence, transformative makeovers, and empowering beauty enthusiasts has cemented her status as one of the most sought-after names in the world of makeup. I always ask my brides to show me pictures of makeup looks that they like to help me understand better the kind of look they’re after on their wedding day. All too often I’m shown pictures of people with completely different colouring and features so I’ve learnt to ask my brides, alongside these inspiration images, to show me a picture of themselves that they really like so together we can identify what exactly made them feel most beautiful and incorporate that into their wedding day look. 2. Prioritise your skin If you don’t give a stuff about retinols and peptides when you meet her, you’ll be fascinated by the time you part ways.
