KESHIA EAST – PROFESSIONAL MAKE UP ARTIST

Keshia was one of the makeup artists for The X Factor (2004-2021) and The Void (2021), and often presents beauty segments for ITV’s Lorraine (2010-). She has appeared alongside her sister on TV shows including The Hit List (2020) and I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here (2018), further increasing her audience, which is predominately female and aged between 25 and 35.

KESHIA EAST – ENTREPRENEUR

Her success in the beauty industry, combined with her personal experience of finding tools appropriate for curly hair, led her to launch her own business, No Knot Co Ltd, in lockdown. They manufacture hair tools and accessories for wavy, curly and Afro hair types. So immediate was her success that she met Prince Charles in 2021 who said she should be “so proud” of what she has achieved as a young businesswoman.

In 2021, No Knot Co. Ltd was recognised by the Cosmo Beauty Awards in the Best Detangling Hairbrush category for their Lilac Gentle Detangler.
