Jaume Polo — hair & Make-up designer

A life in make-up & hair.

More than 20 years of learning, creating and sharing the craft.

Inspired by photography, art and the work of great make-up artists, I started my career in fashion and advertising more than 20 years ago. Since then, I’ve worked across a wide range of projects, from international advertising campaigns and fashion editorials to catwalk shows, film and television productions.

What I enjoy most about this work is the variety. A new character, a different period, a visual idea or simply a new challenge. I love finding the right balance between creativity and technique, from the first reference to the final result on camera.

Alongside my work in the industry, I’m also a specialist trainer in vocational education, teaching make-up and hair to professionals and students in official vocational training programmes. I particularly enjoy sharing the practical knowledge I’ve gained through years of working on set and seeing that knowledge take on a life of its own in the next generation of professionals.

I’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with many cosmetic brands, including Bobbi Brown, and I’m currently sponsored by I.C.O.N.
