4 DAYS - THE ULTIMATE MAKEUP ARTIST HOLIDAY

The first and only retreat, for makeup artists.

In the stunning British countryside of East Sussex

The MUA Retreat

The 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.

ITINERARY

MAY 12TH - ARRIVAL

You arrive at Fair Oak Farm, with welcome drinks ranging from champagne to calming CBD drinks (my personal fave!)

You will be shown to your room complete with your own bathroom and amenities. It was super important to me as an introvert that everyone had their own space!

It’s going to be a busy week ahead, so we use this day to get settled and get to know everybody! Our private chef Stu will finish the evening for us, cooking up an amazing welcome feast (trust me, Stu is about to be your favourite person.) finished with dessert, drinks and conversation in the living area.

MAY 13TH - DAY 2 - BUSINESS MINDSET

We start with an optional group yoga session followed by group breakfast. Everyone LOVED our yoga lady last year, so much so, she’ll be joining us multiple times next year!

We then jump into our first session hosted by me! Last time, I ran my 4 Keys to Fully Booked session which was a full on hardcore business training. This time - I want to take advantage of these glorious grounds! We’ll start by going on a beautiful (silent) hike, taking part in a custom I call - Forest Bathing. This is a Japanese practise, where you are quiet amongst the forest, and listen to the sounds, smell the incredible smells and really take it in.

After this, we will be taking part in some mindset based practises, perfect for knocking those blocks on the head. Mindset is responsible for all we do, all we achieve, all the decisions we think we can make - and really is the driver for how far we go in our business, so I felt it only natural we tackle that this time

MAY 14TH - DAY 3 - ARTISTRY & SELF DEVELOPMENT

On our third day together, we talk artistry! This ended up being my favourite day last time!

Today we enjoy a group breakfast and gear up for an our special intimate guest masterclass with a very special secret guest artist (for our first retreat we had the AMAZING Amy Conway from Bobbi Brown). This ended up being my favourite class of the year, and I don’t know honestly, how we’ll outdo last year, but rest assured, we have someone incredible in the works to match up to Amy!

In this class you will be learning from a PRO, someone who has walked the walk, taken the talk and done the damn thing - I so can’t wait!!

Post dinner, we will be hosting a visualisation and manifestation evening!

MAY 15TH - DAY 4 - PORTFOLIO & BEUATY TREATMENTS

On the forth and final day, we gear up for our big portfolio day with Storme. Time to put those new makeup skills to the test, and create some beautiful hero imagery for our portfolios. Storme is the queen of portfolio days, and will be hosting one of her coveted sessions using Fair Oak Farm as the background. You bring your kit, we bring the models, the dresses, the jewellery and the photography!

This year, Lauren and I will be on hand helping get content, and we’ll spend the evening creating some reels and Tik Tok content together.

When you’re not taking part in the portfolio session, our beauty team will be looking after you, offering facials, nails and massages! That’s right - you get to indulge in some TLC whilst you wait!

Our final night meal is always special, Stu cooks up a real feast for us, and we spend the evening toasting, chatting and reminiscing!

MAY 16TH - DAY 5 - GOODBYES

Our final day and home time! After our final breakfast (which may or may not be pancakes…) we say our goodbyes to new friendships, perspectives and memories.

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!

  • 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!
