She’s the woman who makes famous faces look picture perfect, but make-up artist Hannah Martin admits she’s finding it strange being on the other side of the camera lens. “I do loads of make-up tutorials, but posing in big ball gowns, that’s a first,” she laughs.
Despite being out of her comfort zone, something tells us that today’s glam shoot will be the first of many for the 40-year-old beauty star. In a hard-grafting 20-year career, she’s gone from being the keenest bean on the Bobbi Brown counter to somebody who paints the faces of A-listers, supermodels and royalty. Her signature glowy aesthetic was most famously seen on Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie when they walked down the aisle to gasps of admiration.
Today, Hannah is stepping into the spotlight herself as the face of a new limited-edition collection she’s curated for OK! Beauty Box. It’s the perfect way to recreate her effortless style for less, with 11 covetable products worth more than £255 but available for a very affordable £60. “There’s nothing complicated, just beautiful, natural make-up,” she says. “It’s all about looking like an enhanced version of yourself.”
Hannah, you’re famous for working with members of the royal family – how did that come about?
It’s all word of mouth. It was all very organic, the building of those relationships. And actually, it’s lovely now that they’re such long-standing, comfortable relationships.
Were you stunned when you were first approached?
