About.

Hello, i am Grace Lydia, the owner and founder of 
Grace Lydia Cruelty Free Pro Makeup Artistry & Hair Styling and our newest venture Grace Lydia's Glitter Bar. I have a passion for radiant makeup, boho hair, festivals and glitter and of course Cruelty Free and Vegan Hair Care, Skincare and Makeup. I am Guisborough born and raised and have a little fur baby called Frankie (a golden cocker spaniel, who looks like butter wouldn't melt but causes chaos on the daily!) I tend to be the person at a house party sat chilling with the animals, giving the dog a pet. I am also a bride to be myself, engaged to be married with my amazing geordie fiance, Adam.
 

In 2016 i embarked on a training course with NEMUA where i gained my BABTAC verified and accredited Pro Industry Diploma in all aspects of Professional Makeup Artistry and Hair Styling, with a side module of Halloween, Drag and FX. Since then i have completed a whole host of courses and training which include but are not limited to:

  • Occasion and Bridal Hair Styling

  • Curly Blowdry training and Pin Curls

  • Asian Bridal and Heavy Glam

  • Technical Artistry and Special FX

  • Numerous health and safety and hygiene courses such as isoclean, covid safety courses and procedures and sanitation and hygiene in the workplace. forever making sure our kits and studios are up to the highest standard of hygiene and theres no cross contamination.

I absolutely adore my job and i am so blessed to be able to do what i love day in and day out, what i am so passionate about which is making people look and feel amazing! Since 2016 i have been a part of hundreds of weddings and have styled thousands of hairs and painted thousands of faces for every type of event you can think of, and every single one is an honour!
As well as being as ethical as can be with our products, tools and kit's, i pride myself and my business on being all inclusive and equality for all is our ethos. Whoever you are, you can book an appointment, walk in our studio doors and we will have the exact shades for you, products to suit your skin tone, type, hair tone and even if you require any additional needs, we are autism friendly and can accomodate, just let us know what you need. We are LGBTQIA+ friendly and allys and accomodate absolutely everyone to the best of our abilities as we are all here and have in common the love of makeup, hair and skincare <3
