UMAexpo is known for its friendly vibe, with big-name make-up artists often demo-ing or available for a chat in the midst of specialist retailers and exhibitors.
This year the UMAexpo is excited to welcome the likes of:
Kirsty Stanway, who has led the make-up team on BBC's Casualty for a decade.
One of the best bodypainters in the UK, Cat Finlayson.
Emmy and BAFTA-winning SFX artist Davy Jones.

Monday is also a big day for young make-up artists and students from colleges across the UK, all arriving to enter the Warpaint Extra competitions. Warpaint Extra is the ultimate trade title for make-up artists, and its annual competition has helped to pave the way for winners to join big film productions, TV show teams and more.
