Katie Price arrives in Edinburgh to host 'masterclass' for locals

Katie Price will be in East Drylaw today - May 5 2022 - to deliver two makeup masterclasses alongside infamous celebrity makeup artist Fern Howe-Shepherd.

She will be visiting ‘Makeup by Lynn’ an independent business that was set up by an inspiring young female entrepreneur, Lynn Stewart.

The event will be a chance for Price fans to meet their idol but also to learn how to get the most out of the makeup bag.

Price will also be delivering a masterclass at a Falkirk salon before travelling through to Scotland’s capital to carry out the first masterclass at 6:00pm and second at 8:00pm.

Tickets are limited at this late stage but are being sold at a price of £80 - those wishing to attend that are under the age of 14 are expected to be accompanied by an adult.

Those attending the event will be able to look forward to a £20 goody bag that contains makeup and beauty items from sponsors of Katie’s UK tour.

As well as this, those in attendance will have the opportunity to ask for advice from Fern and Katie and to grab a pic with both.

Katie was supposed to visit the beauty salon before the pandemic began but unfortunately the first lockdown had stopped this from happening.

She was then set to visit last year but was experiencing some personal issues that saw her overturn her car whilst driving under the influence.

But Katie has remained committed to supporting local businesses across the UK by increasing the exposure of smaller beauty entrepreneurs across the country with her masterclasses.

Fern, who will be accompanying Katie to the event, is renowned in the makeup world as an artist and often designs the makeup for celebrities on Love Island amongst many others.

Lynn has previously said that she was bursting with excitement at getting to meet one of her beauty idols, she exclusively told Edinburgh Live in March that: “I am so excited that the Pricey is coming to Edinburgh and Easter Drylaw at that, who would believe it?!

“I’ve been a big fan of Katie Price for a long time and I cannot believe she is coming to my salon. It will be so good for raising our profile and of course our customers and the local community will benefit so much from the knowledge that Katie and Fern will share.

“It is sort of third time lucky with the last two events having to be rescheduled but to be honest that has worked out perfectly for us. We were flooded shortly after opening and this forced us to close for four and a half months. So the cancellations have allowed me to get the salon ready and looking feminine and friendly with its pink design - something I know Katie will appreciate.

“People are able to buy tickets for the event through the Katie Price tour website but I would urge everyone to read the terms and conditions.

“There will be some fizz and food available for those in attendance as I will try to make each event as special as possible for everyone involved.

“We look forward to seeing everyone and cannot wait to welcome Katie to Easter Drylaw!”

Katie Price took to Instagram yesterday to tell fans that she "could not wait to meet them" at the events today in Edinburgh and Falkirk.

The event will take place at 24 Easter Drylaw Bank Edinburgh.

Lynn who runs the beauty and makeup salon won the best freelance makeup artist of the year in Scotland in 2018, and has appeared in the finals of multiple beauty awards since, with the business being shortlisted as a finalist for the UK hair and beauty awards.

Edinburgh Live will also be in attendance and those unable to make it should keep an eye on our social media for video and written content regarding the event.
