CLARE Pearson from Oban has been announced as a finalist for UK Make-up Specialist of the Year at the Professional Beauty Awards.
The national awards seek to recognise those who go above and beyond as a beauty business and make a significant difference to the industry.
Finalists are decided following written entries, which are scored by a panel of independent industry judges. Those with the highest combined score made the finals. Finalists are then judged again in a second round, which includes interviews and live demonstrations of their work.
