About this service
Full glam is the most dramatic makeup we do — a flawless longwear base, sculpted cheekbones, a fully worked eye and a strong lip. It's built to hold up under stage lighting, camera flash and a long night.
Every element is more defined than in a soft look: the contour is visible, the eye is precise, the lashes are statement. Your artist still matches everything to your features and colouring, so it's dramatic without being generic.
What's included
- Consultation about the look, your outfit and the lighting you'll be in
- Thorough skin prep and primer for longwear
- Full-coverage longwear base with contour and highlight
- Detailed eye work — cut crease, smoked liner or shimmer as you prefer
- Sculpted brows and statement false lashes
- Lip liner and longwear lip colour, plus full setting
What to expect at your appointment
Allow about an hour and a half. Your artist starts with a detailed conversation about the look and where you'll be wearing it, then preps your skin properly — longwear depends on the prep.
The base is built and set, the face sculpted, and the eye look constructed in stages. Lashes go on, then the lip is lined and filled. Everything is set thoroughly at the end.
Who it's best for
Parties, galas, photoshoots, performances, milestone celebrations and anyone who genuinely wants to be the most dressed-up person in the room. It's also the right choice if you'll be photographed with flash all night.
Caring for it at home
Blot with paper rather than powdering over the top. Carry your lip colour and a lash glue if the night is long.
Remove it in stages at night: an oil or balm cleanser to break down the base and lashes, then your usual cleanser. Peel lashes off gently rather than pulling.
Tips from our stylists
- Arrive with clean, moisturised, makeup-free skin

- Say what lighting you'll be in; flash photography changes how the base is built
- Take your lip colour with you for top-ups
- Remove lashes gently and never pull at them
- Book any brow or lash services a couple of days ahead, not the same day
