At 17, Bren started his 20+ year career in the world of beauty. He quickly became highly sought after in the world of fashion editorial and advertising working with some of Australia’s biggest models and photographers. After a successful decade long career, Bren made the move to London where he continued working with top publications and brands as well as becoming the go-to artist for some of the UK’s biggest international recording stars including Leona Lewis, Ella Henderson, Steps and Bananarama. When not touring the world, Bren could be found at London Fashion Week or shooting high end editorial.
Based in the US since 2014 he continues to bring passion, creativity, professionalism and a wealth of experience to every project. Bren is not only known for exceptionally clean, natural makeup but on trend editorial and red carpet looks as well. It’s not unusual for Bren’s work to feature in best look lists and he is regularly consulted by beauty publicists for his expert opinion.
Bren has made a point of being confident with any skin tone, as his client list reflects, and truly believes that versatility is the most important tool in an artist’s kit!
In 2023 Bren launched The Beauty Binge - a podcast aimed at helping the consumer navigate the bewildering world of beauty. In 2024 he also launched The Red Carpet Recap #beautyedition - a podcast that takes a close look at the best in beauty (and the glam teams behind them) from each major red carpet awards ceremony and premiers.
