Featured Makeup Artist - Emma Little
My makeup story begins on the day of my 28th birthday party. I had a few girlfriends round beforehand and ended up giving them all makeovers over a few glasses of wine.
The results were pretty good. So good in fact that a friend already in the film and TV business advised me to try and make a career out of it. I’ve never looked back.

I also get to work with fantastically talented people. People like the cast and crew of new British film The Rapture. As Makeup Designer on the movie, I oversaw hair and makeup for the entire cast including Danny Dyer, Billy Murray and Steven Berkoff. I was supported by Tigi Hair Products and Dermalogica throughout the production, which made my job a lot easier.
Prepping faces and working with hair became a much smoother process, and the makeup department was kept well stocked and looking professional. |
I’m now working on another British movie, Jack Said, based on the graphic novel by Paul Tantler. Once again I have the pleasure of working with Danny Dyer, as well as David O’Hara and another brilliant cast and crew.

I love the way that each department is so passionate about creating their own little piece of magic, which all come together on the monitor to create a scene. I really think it’s magical.
I’ve only been in the industry a few years, and I think it’ll take a lifetime to learn all there is to know. But every day I’m growing as an artist. Every day I’m getting that little bit better.
The makeup brands I currently can’t get enough of are Nars, MAC and Urban Decay but of course, there’s always a new product or brand to discover. And I can’t wait to discover them. Because I love makeup. That’s what keeps me hungry and, I think, what makes me good at this job. |

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what The Rapture’s wonderful writer and director, William Steel had to say about me:
“Emma Little is an astounding talent within her field and she will be asked to be involved in all my future film projects, if I’m lucky enough.”
