Certainly, highlighting the best makeup artists in Uganda for 2025 is a great way to celebrate their talent and creativity. Below, I’ve provided a list of some renowned makeup artists in Uganda and where you can find them:

Finishing your makeup professionally is not something you do every day. When it comes time to look glamorous on a special occasion like a wedding, party or photoshoot – you have to hire an expert to do it right. 

There are, of course, differences between making-up for the stage, screen and runway so it is important to pick an artist who has the kind of make-up you need. 

Whether you are planning an Instagram ad campaign or your first Facebook Live or YouTube video, we have selected our favourite makeup artists in Uganda for 2025.

FaythPresh

FaythPresh Makeup is a brand name founded by Fayth Presh – now rated Uganda’s best female makeup artist according to Google. It’s true if you doubt — type “best makeup artist in Uganda” into Google and she’ll be one of the top entries, probably followed by Paramour Cosmetics.

Many of the clients she has worked with will tell you that all is well once FaythPresh touches you. Her face-beats are more of a heavenly touch than earthly based.

She defines herself as a talented, ambitious and motivated woman of class who gained unique makeup skills from the love and passion for art and creativity from at early age.
