Brides Makeup Love Notes x

  • Rows of chairs decorated with pink fabric sashes tied in bows, set up for a wedding or event.

    "Patient, professional, and genuinely listened to what I envisioned"

    “She created a look that was everything I wanted — natural but with coverage, glowing, and timeless — it made me feel so confident and beautiful.”


    - SANDRA 2025

  • A bride and groom sharing a kiss on a staircase in a wood-paneled interior, with the bride in a white wedding gown and veil, and the groom in a black tuxedo, holding a glass of champagne.

    "Ellie knows her stuff when it comes to makeup"

    “Ellie is Brilliant! The best thing was that it lasted the whole day, I got so many compliments and was very sad I had to wash it off at the end. I will be recommending Ellie for all my friends and family.”


    - LISA 2025

  • A woman in a white dress holding a bouquet of white and light blue flowers with greenery, in an elegant indoor setting.

    “Ellie offered guidance and support to all of us on the morning and was very patient when my bridesmaid didn't 100% know what they wanted. Ellie even helped tidy up the room and get everything ready for the photographer to come in. Overall, Ellie was everything I wanted in an MUA and so much more! So glad I chose her to be a part of my special day, thank you Ellie!"
