By Kayleigh X Storme Education

12TH - 16TH OF MAY 2025

The first and only retreat, for makeup artists..

Fair Oak Farm 

In the stunning British countryside of East Sussex

category is… “ future you”

The theme of this retreat - future you. We are stepping into the energy of who we envision ourselves to be. Mind, body and soul. We want you to walk away, with confidence. The confidence to do the hard things, the confidence to show up and step out of your comfort zone. This retreat is all about building yourself up to be not only who you WANT to be, but who you NEED to be to hit those goals and intentions.

The MUA Retreat

It’s the second instalment of our iconic sold out Makeup Artist Retreat. Our very first retreat we hosted was SO incredible, we couldn’t resist doing another. You can expect 4 days of total immersion, business building, soul loving, female empowering activities and group work - to really enrich your business, and your life. Set in the divine British countryside, allow yourself to escape and grow, with everything done for you. All you need, is your kit.

Your Hosts

Introducing your two hosts! You already know me! I am sharing this lovely space with the incredible Storme - who runs Storme Hair and Makeup Education. Storme is known for her epic portfolio days and her expansive knowledge on destination weddings and the bridal industry. We are joining forces to bring you the best of what we do. An all inclusive, all expansive portfolio day hosted by Storme, teamed up with my teachings. Let’s just say, it’s gonna be the most fun 4 days ever!

And of course, we have so much planned in the middle. Yoga mornings, relaxation afternoons and quintessential countryside walks.

Watch the Vlog!

Pick your accommodation

The Farmhouse

The farmhouse is the main house on the grounds, downstairs are two living areas, our main kitchen and dining space where the whole group will enjoy breakfast, lunches and dinners! This is a great place to book if you want to be close to the action!

Upstairs are a range of different bedrooms, we currently have one spot left for this one!

The Oast House

We have two bedrooms available in the Oast House, this house is a beautiful house with a very cool, circular bedroom downstairs with a full kitchen and bathroom. Upstairs you will find the dream master bedroom, a beautiful open plan space with a special on suite!

This is a great option for 2 friends looking to share a house together. Further away from the action, it’s quiet, spacious and perfectly relaxing.

The Tree Houses & Hay Barn

Our most epic option - say hello to the treehouses! These are literally perfect, overlooking the gorgeous countryside of Sussex at every angle (and sometimes a herd of deer!) with a fully self contained kitchen, spacious luxury bathroom.

For those who truly want to treat themselves, and make a real holiday of this experience! In between these tree houses in an epic Hay Barn which is more modern that it sounds with floor to ceiling glass, you feel like you’re right in the middle of nature!

FAQs

  • Your accommodation, which includes a private room and bathroom! All food is included, which is breakfast, lunch, dinner and all snacks! All teachings and materials are included. All you have to provide is you, your kit and travel to Fair Oak Farm.

  • Absolutely. We want this to be as accessible as possible. We have split cost options so everyone has the chance to come!

  • We have room for 6 artists only, as we already have 6 spots filled from the previous retreat, so be quick! Unfortunately once all spots are taken, we cannot open anymore, to keep the group intimate and ensure everyone gets their own room and space.

  • Absolutely, last time we had a guest all the way from the US! We chose the great British countryside, because we thought this would be amazing for our international community. We can help with flights and any travel requirements if you are thinking of making the leap across the sea!
