What is a Make Up Artist?

Working as a valued member of the Sky Make-up Team ensures that no two working days are alike. From delivering a first-class service to a variety of presenters and guests, to working in various areas such as Sport and News, both at our central and west London studios, plus OBs around the UK and abroad, all combine to make a highly interesting, varied and creative experience.

Make-up staff work closely with other Studio craft teams, including Lighting to deliver a highly professional, personal and artistic service to all clients. These are based upon a sound knowledge of current trends in hair and makeup styles, suitable for all skin types using a range of sustainable products.  We employ important Health and Safety measures to ensure the safety of clients with whom we work.
