· Born and raised in the heart of west London and coming from an Asian background; Saamia surely has taken the best of both worlds. As a promising makeup artist, she never settles for anything but the very best and her work is an instance of alluring magic creating matchless beauty.

Saamia’s USP is her ability to bring out the radiant beauty in each and every one of her clients.
After graduating from University of London with a postgraduate business degree, being a university lecturer was her main goal. Today she makes a full-time academic and part time beautician.
Her bespoke work speaks for itself. She started at a very young age when her dad bought her a make up kit and some brushes to play with. While still keeping those presents as an inspiration today Saamia works with some of the top hairstylists, coordinators, models and photographers. She looks back at her university days when spare time managing different student events gave her an opportunity to work on faces from all ethnic backgrounds enhanced her skills and made all the difference.
Her formal make up training was with one of the very well known Pakistani make up artist Akef Ilyas who covered bridal, catwalk, fashion and editorial genres. In a short span of time Saamia’s career in the fashion world has gone from strength to strength. Her recent projects have included work with Kareena Kaprro and Imran Khan from Bollywood.She has also worked with international designers and photographers.London fashion week 2011 was one of the latest too
