Glow by Emma

Makeup Artistry

A portfolio for a London-based makeup artist — exploring how a dark, luminous aesthetic with lavender-to-pink gradients can mirror the transformative nature of beauty artistry.

The Brief

Glow by Emma is an editorial makeup artist specialising in bridal, fashion, and commercial work. The design challenge was creating a dark, luxurious atmosphere that feels like light catching a cheekbone — a portfolio that matches the calibre of the artistry it showcases.

Design Direction

Dark and luminous. A lavender-to-pink gradient accent creates warmth against the black canvas. Cormorant Garamond brings editorial elegance, while glowing hover effects add depth and interactivity. The palette shifts subtly between lavender and pink to keep the eye engaged.
