Industry Talks: Aimee Strawbridge

Aimee Strawbridge
Freelance Makeup Artist & Clinique Consultant

Since graduating Servilles Academy, how has your career progressed ? Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years?

After graduating in 2021, I landed a counter manager role with Clinique and became a Clinique Consultant. This was a massive move as I’d been working in hospitality for 5 years, fitting my makeup work in on days off. I’ve also started building a freelance client base and making an online portfolio, taking bookings via Instagram @aj.faceandbeauty and my website. I offer services like wedding party and special events makeup and tanning. Since leaving Servilles, I’ve teamed up with a professional photographer from @momentmediax for fashion shoots with models from local agencies to help build their portfolios. Working so closely with models and photographers has made me realise how much I admire working with like-minded people and collaborating creatively. I would love to see myself doing full time freelance makeup in the next 5 years, whether that’s special events or working with brands and models for fashion shoots.
