Essentials plain colours 30g

Designed by Samantha Helen who is an industry specialist artist who brings together the worlds of makeup design, face, and body art.

In 2020, she launched Essentials — beginning with her signature brush collection, which quickly expanded into professional-quality face and body paints. Her mission has always been to equip artists, students, and professionals with the essential tools they need, while championing creativity and confidence across the industry.

At its heart, Essentials is about community and celebration. Samantha works closely with some of the industry’s most innovative teams and collectives, including Glow World, Bath Body Art, and UKFABAC, fostering a supportive network where knowledge and artistry are shared.

Essentials is more than a brand — it’s a movement to uplift, educate, and inspire both new and established artists, ensuring the future of face and body art continues to shine brightly.
