What Happened to Make Up School After Dragons’ Den?

Make Up School appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 1. The business was a school for make-up artists. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The current status of the business is not publicly known.

The Pitch

Daniel Parker walked into the Den in 2005 with a school for make-up artists. They were asking for N/A.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Daniel Parker left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Make Up School did not survive long-term. The company has since been dissolved.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Make Up School Still in Business?

No. Make Up School is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
