The number 1 platform for connecting clients with the UK’s best Make-up artists
Flawless Bookings, Zero Hassle.
Backstage is the UK’s go-to platform for booking pro makeup artists who actually deliver. Whether you’re after bridal glam, SFX drama, red carpet looks, or a one-to-one lesson that levels up your skills, we connect you with artists who know exactly what they’re doing – no flakey bookings, no awkward DMs, no time-wasting. Just real talent, ready when you are.
And for the makeup artists? This isn’t just an app, it’s your power move. Backstage puts your business in your hands – with smart scheduling, killer profiles and location-based search to get you seen, booked and paid (on time, every time).
We’re here to level the playing field, cut through the noise, and make beauty more accessible – for clients who want quality, and for artists who are quality. Let’s change the game.

Whether you’re booking or getting booked, Backstage makes it easy to connect, schedule and secure appointments.
See What People Are Saying
“As an assistant on set productions I find Backstage an absolute game changer in the beauty booking industry. We need makeup artists at the very last minute and all across the UK so it’s amazing having an app where I can find trusted, reliable and professional artists. Saves me so much time, guessing and always excels.

“Backstage made booking my wedding makeup an absolute dream. I found the perfect artist for me and my bridal party SO quick and honestly, she nailed it. From the trial to the big day, everything was smooth, professional, and completely stress-free. We all felt beautiful, the makeup lasted all day, and it was such a relief not having to chase quotes, see who was available and feel safe with someone. Best decision I made (after saying yes!).”
“I booked a group makeup lesson through Backstage as a birthday gift for my best friend and it was the highlight of her day. The artist was amazing, super knowledgeable, and made the whole session fun and relaxed. We all learned new tricks that were personalized for each of us, laughed loads, and left feeling like pros ready to take on the world. It was such an easy experience to book, and such a unique gift. ”
“I booked a drag queen transformation to learn some tips and tricks, it was one of the best experiences ever. The artist was creative, so respectful, helpful beyond belief and totally delivered on the drama. Backstage made it super easy to find, book and organise. I’d 100% recommend and will be booking again. ”
“I’ve used Backstage for everything, from a wedding to Halloween to festivals. All my experiences have been seamless. No weird messages. No flaky artists. Just polished, professional service and killer makeup. Every. Single. Time.”
Not All MUAs Are The Same
At Backstage, we know that not all makeup artists are built the same – and that’s exactly the point. Whether you’re hunting down a bridal makeup artist who delivers flawless all-day glam, a bold editorial MUA who knows how to break the rules, or a special effects wizard for TV, film, and stage, we’ve got the talent ready to transform your vision. Whatever the brief, whatever the moment, you’ll find the right artist for the job, minus the drama.
A Better Gift?
We Don't Know Her
In this house, we don’t do boring gifts. From bridal beats and birthday baddie looks, to 1-1 lessons and group classes – this is a gift that never misses. Let them book a verified MUA on their terms, when they’re ready. No awkward “will they like it?” – just pure, unapologetic confidence in a make-up gift card.
Backstage is built for MUAS who know their worth and clients who don’t settle for anything less than top-tier. This isn’t just another booking app, it’s a power move. Ready to join the revolution?
