I'm Ellie,
YOUR SOFT GLAM BRIDAL MAKEUP ARTIST
& woman behind the makeup brush
A little about me, my style, and why bridal makeup became the thing I do best.
I’ve been a professional makeup artist in Solihull, Birmingham and the West Midlands for over seven years and over time, I’ve become very clear on the style I love to create.
Soft glam with impact. Skin that looks polished but still real. Eyes that feel defined but never heavy. Makeup that makes you feel elevated, confident and completely yourself.
Makeup became my creative outlet long before it became my career. As someone with dyslexia, I didn’t always feel like I fitted into traditional spaces but creativity, detail and seeing beauty in people came naturally to me. That’s what led me here.
SO WHY BRIDAL MAKEUP?
Because bridal is where makeup has to do everything.
It has to feel beautiful in person, photograph softly, last through emotion, work with your dress and styling, and still feel like you when you look in the mirror.
That’s why I love it. Bridal makeup isn’t about piling on product or following every trend, it’s about creating a look that feels polished, feminine and timeless, with enough glam to feel special.
‘Being soft and strong is a combination very few have mastered.’
– Yasmin Mogahed

Wedding morning moments I’ve handled
Because being a bridal artist is never just about the makeup it’s about staying calm, prepared and useful when the morning needs it.
A broken necklace before the ceremony? Safety pinned and secured.
One bride, all morning, all her bridesmaids disappeared and she couldn’t get into her dress. I jumped in and helped her and her mum get it on, saved the day! And this was just 15 minutes before the ceremony.
One bride got lipstick all over her veil while we were doing her makeup. I grabbed some stain remover and helped blot it before panic set in. Crisis averted!
One bride spilled Prosecco all down her dress. I held it up under the air dryer so she could run around looking for her shoes and other bits she’d misplaced..
