About Me

Paul is a London Based Make-up Artist working for Kryolan. Leading the Kryolan UK Make-up team, he has worked in all disciplines of the Make-up industry, from Theatre to Fashion, Body Painting to Cosmetic Camouflage. As a self taught artist, Paul has developed his own style of working, “...I love to play around with products and find different and interesting ways of using them, other than their intended purpose. Having had experience in most genres of the industry I find the cross overs of products and techniques to be really useful in my creative work. Using SFX or theatrical products in Fashion and Beauty, gives my designs a fresh appeal and I think a more intriguing design ” Paul is a global ambassador for Kryolan both on creative shoots and education . He has taught in countless Schools and Colleges across the U.K including London College of Fashion and has completed tours of India and Taiwan focusing on High Definition make-up in Bollywood and editorial fashion. Some of his work includes London Fashion Week, Britain & Irelands Next Top Model Live, Sainsbury’s TV commercials, 'Help For Heros' Stadium Concert, Aggro Santos Music Video 'So Sexy', various editorial campaigns, Heading the Kryolan Team on America’s Next Top Model Live. Paul has filmed tutorial videos for cosmetic giants Glossy Box for 'real women'. He has worked on shows with Designers including Joey Bevan, Fashion Mode & Vivienne Westwood. He’s work has been featured in industry magazines such as ‘Face On’, Make-up International, Warpaint, Make-up Artist, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Illusion, Italian Vogue and Taiwanese Vogue. Paul also works on the UK’s largest television show “The X Factor”, completing 3 years on Julia Carta's team, one of them as make-up supervisor, working on this show has provided a great knowledge of working with High Definition cameras. Not only were there the demands of shooting on HD but pre records on green screens and the show itself going out live. Paul Has worked on various Kryolan campaigns and most recently was chosen to create the designs for the trend looks of 2014/15 and our 2015 calendar “A Suitcase Full Of Make-up Dreams”

I love make-up and how expressive it allows me to be, I enjoy working as part of a creative team. I love a challenge and am always looking to extend my portfolio and try new things.
