The Make-up Man Consultation Testimonials
“Phil is such a knowledgeable, kind, and patient makeup consultant. His passion for his work really shines in both his conscientiousness and attention to detail. I came to him with such little makeup-related knowledge and experience, and came out of my consultation feeling way more confident about my makeup skills. On top of all that, he’s also such a wonderful and good-humoured person! I would honestly recommend The Makeup Man to anyone.”
Papatya, London
“Make Up has always felt a bit of a mystery to me...how to do it properly etc. Phil was wonderful in not only doing my make up so it looked good but took time to explain how to recreate the looks myself. This is such a big help as it’s all very well having someone do your make up brilliantly – you want to be able to have a bit of that day to day. Phil used high quality products that felt light on the skin but provided the coverage I was after. The setting of the consultation was relaxed and informal
but I always felt like I was with a professional – which is what Phil is. I would absolutely recommend him and am planning to revisit soon to refresh what I’m using and also get some more tips!”

"I felt like a million dollars when Phil did my make-up and I looked it too. Such a brilliant guy."
Lynn, Bournemouth
"Phil is very professional and his expertise in the creatives and science of make-up made me feel totally at ease. He explained to me each process and advised me on products and methods of make-up application. My consultation with Phil left me feeling truly uplifted and equipped to go out into the world! I would highly recommend his consultation services."
Angie, Brighton
"Phil is very friendly and very quickly puts you at ease. I thoroughly enjoyed my make-up consultation. I learned about the best foundation for my skin type, how to recreate my new look, and picked up some insider tricks! I now feel confident when doing my own make-up and have a pared down make-up bag that contains exactly what I need. And I've never had so many compliments! Thank you Phil!"

Testimonials From The Television World
"Phil has been doing my make up for a number of years now. He is brilliant at his job - accurate and consistent - sometimes under considerable pressure. He's a real pleasure to work with."
Mary Nightingale, News Presenter ITV
"Phil Briggs is the consummate profession-a master of his art and a really nice bloke! You need to look as good as you can and feel as relaxed as you can to do what we do. Phil sends me into the studio feeling just right. That's the challenge- that's his skill."
Alastair Stewart OBE, News Presenter ITV
"Because I have darker skin, it can sometimes be a nightmare finding make-up artists who understand how to work on my face -- so I don't end up with 'panda eyes', or a face that is several shades lighter than my neck. But working with Phil has been an absolute pleasure from the start. He understood my concerns and made me feel completely at ease. His work is always fabulously consistent, and he is incredibly easy to work with. Attributes which are key in the industry. I would recommend him in a heartbeat."
Charlene White, News Presenter ITV
Charlene White, News Presenter ITV
"Phil regularly does my make up for News at Ten. Not only does he often have a tired old newsreader’s face to sort out – but he has to take into consideration all the challenges of our virtual studio, and the special lighting used in it. His make-up is wonderful – done with a light touch, huge care, and to great effect. He’s also a delight to work with."
Julie Etchingham, News Presenter ITV, 'Tonight'
"Professional, charming, and possessed of the ability to make me look my best, but never overdone, I regard Phil as an exceptionally talented makeup and hair artist. What's particularly impressed me over the 11 years I've worked with him, is how he is always keeping abreast of the latest changes and innovations -- for example, anticipating the need to adapt makeup for HD. The confidence it gives knowing it's Phil in charge of your makeup is invaluable. A model of how a good makeup artist should operate."
Samira Ahmed, News Presenter, Journalist
"He can be fast..is sensitive, committed, loyal and good."
Jon Snow, News Presenter, Channel 4
