Piercey Barns
Makeup Artist & Educator
Hi, I’m Piercey, your South East Makeup Artist, Educator, and Creative Director with a passion for helping people feel confident, empowered, and seen.
With just under a decade of experience in the beauty industry, I’ve worked across editorial, campaign, retail, and education spaces.
My journey started with a passion in makeup being self taught for a number of years . Following with a BA in Makeup and Hair Design with Styling, followed by a Master’s in Creative Direction for Fashion and Beauty, equipping me with the skills to not only execute beautiful looks but also conceptualise compelling visual narratives.
I’ve had the privilege of consulting on digital campaigns for brands like bareMinerals and Laura Mercier, and I've worked directly with clients as a Counter Manager and Beauty Expert for brands including bareMinerals, Laura Mercier and Benefit Cosmetics. My roles have spanned from artistry and retail education to content creation and team leadership — always grounded in a belief that beauty is about connection, creativity, and confidence.
I specialise in:
-
Makeup artistry for all occasions – from skin-first everyday beauty to bridal to editorial edge
-
Masterclasses and workshops – tailored personal education for clients and artists
-
Creative consulting – bringing beauty campaigns to life with insight and impact
As a trans woman, I bring a perspective shaped by resilience, identity, and the transformative power of beauty. Whether I’m behind the brush or leading a class, my goal is to make every client, person and collaborator feel celebrated, heard, and inspired.
Let’s create something beautiful together!
