My take on makeup is that skill is only half of it. The other half is your energy, your presence, and the way you hold space for your client. It's more than what you do with the brushes... it's about showing up as your best self, creating a calming environment, and being a steady presence on one of the biggest days of someone's life. Great artists provide an entire experience for their client.

Bridal makeup is a personalised service. A luxury makeup artist typically offers a more personalised and exclusive service, catering to your specific needs and preferences.

High-End Products:

I will always use high-end or designer brands, using premium products to achieve a flawless look that lasts and photographs beautifully is key to any bridal look.

Skilled Artist:

A skilled Artist is reliable and experienced with weddings, an artist who knows when to have the bride ready and the general running of a wedding morning is so important. and also stays up-to-date with the latest trends and product science.

Skincare Knowledge:

An experienced makeup artist understands various skin types and conditions (e.g., oily, dry, sensitive, acne-prone) and can adapt their techniques and product choices accordingly. They know which products will work best for your skin, ensuring the makeup lasts longer and looks natural, rather than settling into lines or looking cakey. Together we can create a look that enhances your natural features and skin tone, rather than masking them or causing unwanted effects by avoiding products that cause irritation and breakouts.
