Meet the Artist
Charli Adams
Hey, I’m Charli! Your go-to girl for all things makeup in Cambridge.
My route here was anything but ordinary. I trained in musical theatre, became a mum young and found my feet in the beauty industry, working my way from makeup counters to managing teams before building something entirely my own.
When I’m not holding a makeup brush, I’m probably lifting weights, trail running, slathering on skincare, listening to a murder podcast, singing along to a niche musical or reciting far too much of the Harry Potter script.
Now, as a mum to three vivacious girls, I’m taking CMA into its next chapter. For me, it’s about more than beautiful makeup. I’m building a business with purpose, personality and a legacy I can one day pass down.
