Founded and led by Leah Gardiner, LG Brows and Beauty was born in 2020. Here's a little bit about my background into the beauty world!
I have level 3 diploma in Special effects, Theatrical and Media Makeup. I've been qualified for 8 years. During this time, I was working for benefit on the makeup counters, I had regular clients, bridal makeup and prom makeup! I even did work experience at Pinewoods studio on the James Bond film set. Unfortunately, my priorities were different back when I was a teenager and I fell out of love with makeup and went on to do cabin crew, complete change of career, I know!
After leaving the airline industry in 2019 I decided that I wanted to move back to beauty. In February 2020 I trained with The Secret Brow Club and qualified in Brows, Henna Brows and Brow Lamination, but of course lockdown happened a month later. I battled to build my business during all the lockdowns along with working full time as a keyworker. I was working from home I started in my bedroom with a barber chair and desk, after begging my mum to let me have the spare bedroom we transformed it into a beauty room, and I was working in there. I then fell pregnant in December 2020, I thought to myself how will I now build a business with a baby? But there was something in me determined to not return to work after my maternity leave ended and build a future for my family. Fast forward to 2022 I now have my beautiful son Leonardo who is 1. I'm based in a Salon, I returned back to makeup in May 2022 in the space of 5 months I have gone on to do my gorgeous brides, photoshoots and prom makeups. I have upgraded my name to LG Makeup Artistry and Beauty, I'm excited to see what the next few years bring and hoping to meet you along the way on my journey!
