the experience

We’ll greet each other with a hug, and right away, it will feel like we’ve known each other for years.
It starts with a conversation. We’ll sit down together, chat about your vision, your dress, your style, and what makes you feel you. I’ll listen closely, asking the right questions to understand exactly what you’re looking for. Whether you're dreaming of a timeless, elegant look, something a bit more modern and bold, or maybe just a natural, glowing finish, I’ll make sure your makeup is a perfect reflection of who you are and what you want for your wedding.
When you work with a luxury bridal makeup artist, you’re not just booking someone to do your makeup—you’re signing up for a truly special experience. It’s about making you feel beautiful, confident, and ready to shine on your big day. Every step of the journey will be as personalized and indulgent as you deserve.

the morning
On the big day, I’ll create a calming, luxurious atmosphere for you to relax and enjoy the process. You’ll feel like you’re being pampered with every brushstroke, knowing that only the best products and techniques are being used. The goal is a flawless, long-lasting look that feels as light as air but stays stunning all day long—from the first kiss to the last dance.
Your comfort and peace of mind are my priority. I’ll make sure your makeup is not only beautiful but also stays fresh, no matter what your day brings. Whether you're tearing up during vows or celebrating with a spin on the dance floor, you can trust that you'll look just as perfect at the end of the night as you did when you first stepped into your ceremony.
Ultimately, this experience is about giving you more than just makeup—it’s about giving you the confidence to step into your wedding day feeling like the best version of yourself, radiant and ready to take on the world.
Our conversation will flow naturally—stories, laughter, and moments of connection. Silence will be rare, but when it happens, it’ll be comfortable. And we’ll never, ever shudder engage in small talk. There will be times when I gently guide the moments along—top up your glass, a suggestion to move toward the best light, help you get into your dress and get ready. Just little nudges to keep things smooth, easy, and relaxed.

the details
I am always last to leave. To ensure you have remembered all the details you have meticulously planned, I allow extra time to help with jewellery, perfume, shoes, top up the glass, final touch ups should the emotions overcome you!
I have literally been under dresses getting the underskirt sitting right and buttoned or laced up or floofed more dresses I care to remember
Read the room - when things are getting tense or too much, I can discreetly take you away to a quieter spot to escape the noise for “last minute touch ups”
Helped the kilt wearers with their brogues and told them if something isn’t where it should be - kilts at the knee; it’s not a skirt, boys!
