Angela King is Birmingham's premier brow expert and makeup artist. She has been in the industry for 22 years and is renowned across the South East for creating perfect brows.
Angela loves helping her clients look their best. "I always tell people not to be trendy with their brows," she explains. "Your brows frame your face, and you need the right shape to suit your face."
Angela has a love for Latin dance and she is a multi-world champion in bachata pro-am categories.
A native of Birmingham, Angela lives with her husband, Nik Layman, and her two dogs Chewie and Jabba the Pup.
