In July we hosted a special M.A.C PRO Trend Masterclass, led by Carly Utting (Global Senior Artist) and Jess Dixon (Regional Artist) from M·A·C Cosmetics. The event gave creative UAL alumni the chance to learn about the latest makeup innovations and upcoming beauty trends - directly from two of the brand’s top artists.

The interactive session was introduced by Anna Nwankwo, Senior Lecturer in Hair and Make-Up for Fashion at LCF, with the conversation being led by the thoughtful and insightful questions posed by the audience. Carly and Jess were very skilled at guiding us through the creative and practical process while managing the conversation sparked through the questions throughout.

At this event, guests got to see live demonstrations, hear expert insights, and learn how beauty trends are influencing creative work across the industry. The first 100 event attendees received a free M·A·C gift bag filled with products to try at home.
