About - Lynne Mills | Girl Meets Brush Founder

MUA & Founder Lynne Mills

'“I started my Make-Up Career back in 2005 after training at the School of Make-Up in Manchester, to then further advanced training with international leading Make-Up Artist Val Garland.

I have since been very fortunate to set up and run my own UK wide Make-up Team working on many amazing projects over the years.

From designing a false eyelash product ‘Miss Flicklash’ in 2012, which was initially launched & stocked with Harvey Nichols as well as ASOS.com, then in 2013 an exclusive worldwide license deal with brand-leader Eylure was signed launching the product globally.

To also having my make-up work featured in publications such as Vogue, Marie Claire and The Sunday Times Style Magazine, plus top bridal publications (including the front covers) for Tie the Knot & Scottish Wedding Magazine.

I’ve been privileged enough to work on projects/briefs for designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Matthew Williamson and Preen.

As well as heading up the team for the Alfa Romeo Young Designer of Year Fashion Show and being a Lead Make-Up Artist at London Fashion Week for 4 years.

I have also had the honour to work with many famous faces over the years, such as - Dame Judi Dench, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Claudia Winkleman, Anna Friel, Arlene Philips, Mo Gilligan, Jimmy Carr, Alice Levine, Little Simz, Fiona Shaw, Sharon Horgan, Lauren Laverne, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Kirsty Young, the Great British Bake Off Team (the original cast line up – Mary Berry, Mel & Sue and Paul Hollywood).

As well as Celebrity Juice Presenter Keith Lemon and Panelists including Sara Cox, also Mariella Frostrup, Anneka Rice, some of the Gogglebox cast & even being the Make-Up Artist for Ronan Keating’s wedding in Scotland.

In 2015 I set up Girl Meets Brush, with the view to ‘making make-up simple’ for the every day woman but also creating a brand for Make-Up Artists to use with their clients.

The Brand has since expanded from a Simple Brush Set to also including a Make-Up Palette & Accessory range too, all geared to the working Pro MUA but also the every day woman.

My most recent Chapter & the most exciting right now is the Online Make-Up Academy & MUA Community.

First launched in 2018, it is where I have created a range of different Online Courses and Opportunities for the beginner right up to the working pro, providing ongoing support with our amazing talented team & online community.

It is a unique & flexible opportunity that is ever growing to provide first class training for the aspiring make-up artist.

My mission is to pass on my knowledge & expertise within the industry to support upcoming Make-Up Artists produce high quality, timeless and stylish work that will set their career paths in the right direction.

I see Girl Meets Brush as a Brand that marries both high quality Professional Products with nurturing Make-Up Talent, to help produce the next generation of Make-Up Artists alongside exciting Product Innovation!”
