Testimonials
Mary Nightingale, News Presenter ITV
"Phil has been doing my make up for a number of years now. He is brilliant at his job - accurate and consistent - sometimes under considerable pressure. He's a real pleasure to work with."
Alastair Stewart OBE, News Presenter ITV
"Phil Briggs is the consummate profession-a master of his art and a really nice bloke! You need to look as good as you can and feel as relaxed as you can to do what we do. Phil sends me into the studio feeling just right. That's the challenge- that's his skill."
Charlene White, News Presenter ITV
"Because I have darker skin, it can sometimes be a nightmare finding make-up artists who understand how to work on my face -- so I don't end up with 'panda eyes', or a face that is several shades lighter than my neck. But working with Phil has been an absolute pleasure from the start. He understood my concerns, and made me feel completely at ease.
His work is always fabulously consistent, and he is incredibly easy to work with. Attributes which are key in the industry. I would recommend him in a heartbeat."

Julie Etchingham, News Presenter ITV, 'Tonight'
"Phil regularly does my make up for News at Ten. Not only does he often have a tired old newsreader’s face to sort out – but he has to take into consideration all the challenges of our virtual studio, and the special lighting used in it. His make-up is wonderful – done with a light touch, huge care, and to great effect. He’s also a delight to work with."
Samira Ahmed, News Presenter, Journalist
"Professional, charming, and possessed of the ability to make me look my best, but never overdone, I regard Phil as an exceptionally talented makeup and hair artist. What's particularly impressed me over the 11 years I've worked with him, is how he is always keeping abreast of the latest changes and innovations -- for example, anticipating the need to adapt makeup for HD. The confidence it gives knowing it's Phil in charge of your makeup is invaluable. A model of how a good makeup artist should operate."
Jon Snow, News Presenter, Channel 4
"He can be fast..is sensitive, committed, loyal and good."
