Natasha Lawer

As well as my 10 years industry experience as a HMUA, I am also a freelance model and supporting artist which helps me gain a higher overall knowledge of the industry and set etiquette. I have worked in many areas such as fashion, beauty, theatre, tv/film, commercial media, events and private clients, bridal and music videos. I have exceptional organisational skills and a passion to both excite and be inspired by others within the creative field and industry.
