Best Makeup Artists near me in Portobello, Edinburgh

Sindollhouse provides an invaluable service to Edinburgh’s LGBT community and that alone warrants a recommendation. This place, and the amazing makeup professional, Kath, have quite literally transformed my life (no pun intended). Makeup tuition is at your own pace and can be tailored around your specific requirements (spending more time on lashes or contouring for example). Don’t just keep viewing the site, go ahead, take the plunge and make a booking! You will thank yourself later.

After 15 years living in Edinburgh I finally found a place where I can truly take care of my skin and body. I always feel welcomed here—the beauticians are kind, attentive, and highly professional. Weronika, the owner, is amazing: skilled, knowledgeable, and honestly a total badass 😎❤️. This time I had waxing, eyebrow shaping, and a vacuum massage. Everything was done with top-level professionalism, and I even received a little Christmas gift, which was such a lovely surprise. I highly recommend this place. Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

After being let down at the last minute by another make-up artist I was delighted to be able to book Kelly for an evening wedding I was going to. Kelly was so welcoming when I arrived and totally got the look that I was going for as I've not had much experience of getting make up done. The finished result was incredible and it lasted all night and everyone commented on how well I looked - thanks Kelly!

Great make up, it lasted all night which was fab. Lovely to have this done by Sarah. Can’t wait for my next appointment

Sep 20, 2025

I have never had my makeup done professionally before and I am so glad that I went to Sarah. She was so patient and understanding with me. Being an older lady she listened to what I thought I wanted and tried to make me feel at ease. She explained what she was doing and said that she would make sure that when I left the studio I would be happy with the makeup she had applied. She did a great job and I would highly recommend her. Many thanks for the great experience. Hopefully see you soon.
