About me
Hi I’m Naomi
I love working with my hands to bring a creative idea or look to life.
Over the past ten years I have applied this to hair & makeup across TV, Film, Theatre, Weddings (and the occasional themed party!). More recently, my friends and friends of friends have got married and I have loved being part of their special day. Whether on set, backstage or with a bridal party before they walk down the aisle - I love being there to put you at ease, help you feel confident and looking radiant.
More often than not, this doesn’t come from hiding behind a mask of makeup… in fact, quite the opposite. Showing people how to maximise what they already have, and take better care of their skin through natural and simple techniques is what has brought me here.

Sea-air and a sassy spaniel
I grew up in Wiltshire and lived in London on and off for the last 11 years. My boyfriend and I ticked off all the lockdown cliches and escaped London to Brighton with our new dog, Skye, the most beautiful member of the family - if a little naughty! Now, we’re all about morning beach walks and fair weather sea dips.
Naomi Spurr Studios is based in my home creating a clean, calm and relaxed environment for makeup trials and facials in the heart of Brighton, a short walk from the station, the sea and Seven Dials - come round and I’m sure you’ll see why we made the move!
On set, backstage and in the makeup trailer
I trained at Delemar Acadamy specialising in hair and makeup for film and TV. More recently, I qualified in VCTC Level 2 Facials and Level 3 Facial electrics. I am further BABTAC accredited for courses in sculptural facial massage.
Over my 8 years experience working in theatre, film & tv I built up the skills for natural makeup on camera, and hair that holds all day. Some of my screen credits include Killing Eve, Mr Selfridge, Pan, Maleficent and theatre work in the West End and The National Theatre on Mamma Mia, Kinky Boots, Small Island and My Brilliant Friend.
Every job is different, meaning I’ve picked up a range of skills from amazing hair & makeup artists across the industry. Life on set is fast paced and keeps you on your toes, making it the best training of all - adapting skills whilst maintaining speed, attention to detail, what looks good on camera and occasionally whipping out the gold body paint…
Good for you, and the planet
I use a mix of organic, natural, scientific, high quality and professional brands. Going forwards I have chosen products with ingredients that are kinder to your skin & hair as well as minimising environmental impact. Being sustainable and cruelty free is really important to me. I’ve built up my kit over years of professional work, so it is a process, but where possible my core products are more eco friendly with ingredients sourced from natural origin, clean or from companies with a sustainable ethos.
The skin care products I use in my facials are all cruelty free from brands such as Ren, Pai, Olixa, Nini Organics and Skin and Tonic .
In my makeup kit I have Chantecaille, Westman Atelier, Hourglass, Jones Road, Kosas, Eva Perza, Ilia and Kjaer Weis. It currently also contains some MAC, Bobbie Brown, Charlotte Tilbury & Nars which I am gradually phasing out. Hair products include Kevin Murphy, Aveda, Maria Nila, Orbie, Bouclem. It also contains some Bumble and Bumble, Elnet, Got2B and Professional L’oreal.
