Lubna Rafiq Academy

General information

Lubna Rafiq is brand associated with unmistakable quality, exceptional skill and immense acclaim in the field of Makeup & Hair Artistry over the past 10 years.

The name is also synonymous with an artist who is widely known for her exemplary talent and creativity as well as genuine professionalism.

Lubna began her makeup artistry career by providing her services to Bridal & Special Occasion clients around the UK, as well as internationally. This rapidly developed into her services being regularly sought after by celebrities and VIP clients at an
increasing rate.

In 2005, Lubna established Lubna Rafiq Academy, also known as LRA, with one mission in mind; to share her success and talents with budding makeup and hair artists. Whilst LRA’s mission remains unchanged, the Academy has exploded into a household name, renowned for quality education in the field of makeup and hair artistry, and as a beacon for aspiring business women around the
UK and internationally. MAC Cosmetics, the world’s most popular cosmetic brand, supports Lubna Rafiq Academy.

The establishment of Lubna Products in 2007 was a natural progression in Lubna’s portfolio of provisions. As both a serial entrepreneur and a meticulous artist, Lubna is forever in the search for the best quality products to utilise in her artistry and
training.

She therefore travelled the world to seek out key products that would compliment her services, and identified materials and products to benefit her clients and students. The success of Lubna Products has soared above expectations, and the product
range continues to grow.
