Makeup With Attitude
Where passion, expertise, and creativity converge to redefine beauty standards.

About us

Based in the heart of Southampton, and led by freelancer and founder Clemency Arnell, MWA is a sanctuary for those seeking to elevate their makeup experience.

Established when Clemency was 21, MWA is a testament to her lifelong passion for makeup artistry.

From a young age, she was captivated by the transformative power of hair and makeup, not just as a tool for enhancement, but as an art form that communicates identity and emotion. Her journey led her to pursue formal education in makeup, culminating in studying for a degree that honed her skills to the highest standard.

The Ethos of Makeup With Attitude

MWA embodies a blend of youthful innovation and mature artistry. Clemency’s academic achievements in makeup are complemented by an innate talent and a visionary approach to beauty.

Her fascination with fashion and its interplay with makeup serves as a cornerstone for MWA’s philosophy: that hair and makeup is an integral element of self-expression and style, not merely an accessory.

Makeup With Attitude is more than just a name
IT'S OUR MANTRA

We believe that hair and makeup should empower, inspire, and reflect the individuality of the wearer.

MWA is a space where boundaries are pushed, and creativity flourishes, enabling each client to explore and express their unique beauty narrative.
