Awards & Achievements

Thank you for your support!

Over the last few years, Lifeofabeautygirl By Sam Cahill - Makeup Artist has helped clients look and feel their best in the Ilkeston area and beyond. As a child, I was always intrigued with the way makeup could transform anyone’s looks for a day - especially famous people who never looked the same twice! It eventually led me to follow my passion and become a Make Up Artist myself - it is what I have always wanted to do since being a chid (although I took a little detour into the legal field as my first career!) This passion and enthusiasm, along with the loyalty and support of my wonderful clients means I have some wonderful Awards and Achievements which I am so proud of!

Makeup Artist of the Year 2019

At the Midlands Beauty Industry Awards - Birmingham

At the last MBIA in 2019 (due to Covid-19) I was overwhelmed with delight when I received the Award for 'Makeup Artist of the Year'. I was absolutely elated to receive such a prestigious title thanks to votes from my wonderful clients putting me into a Finalist position and finally an independent panel choosing me as the overall winner.


I was featured in the Derby Evening Telegraph, Ilkeston Life, The Ilkeston Enquirer and Ilkeston Advertiser newspapers! I was also interviewed on BBC Radio Derby! It was amazing to be recognised for my work and achievements and the journey I've been on from working at my dining table to my beautiful makeup bar!


I am so proud of this award! And it inspires me to keep moving forward, bettering myself and my skills. Thank you to everyone who helped this happen!
