Emily Wood is the answer to, “What comes next after clean beauty?” The makeup artist’s viral, on-the-go, freestyle bold makeup videos (no mirror required!) that you simply can’t scroll past.  

The UK-born artist is undoubtedly a creative force to watch in 2026 and beyond (ELLE UK just anointed Emily as one of the game-changing women changing the industry) and her editorial work has been featured in Grazia and British Vogue. Brands are taking note too: she’s collaborated with 19/99 Beauty, Glow Recipe and Cult Beauty.

In this episode Emily opens up about: 

• How being neurodiverse has been the key to Emily intuitive makeup technique, and self-regulation
• How she gets her “scribble” and “smear” techniques to look good on the move 
• How to experiment with colour in a way that will work for you 
• Why she’s saying no to “butter girl” fall 
• The dream makeup artist she’d love to collab with – and will we ever see her develop her own line?
• How her emotional support eyelash curler (for real) has helped her through her struggles with PTSD and anxiety 
• Plus, Emily shares what it’s been like to watch her sister’s (Aimee Lou Wood) star rise – and does she ever do *her* makeup for the red carpet?
