Bridal makeup that makes you the
MAIN CHARACTER
without losing yourself under it all.
We’ve all heard the horror stories or lived them!!!
The “soft glam” that somehow turned into full glam prom energy
The look that felt nothing like you, even though you tried to explain exactly what you wanted.
If you’ve had a bad experience before, you’re not alone. Feeling nervous about your bridal makeup is completely normal.
My brides come to me wanting soft, romantic looks that still highlight their features, their glow, and their personality… never a mask.
Whether you’re in Solihull, Birmingham, or elsewhere in the West Midlands, I make sure your makeup feels like the elevated, long-lasting version of you you’ve been hoping for.
NO Heavy Glam
NO Cake face
Just bridal makeup that photographs flawlessly and feels comfortable in real life
MY MISSION
I help brides worried about ‘too much makeup’ achieve soft, flawless, long-wear glam so they feel comfortable, elevated, and beautiful in every photo.
Because glam isn’t about being loud.It’s about feeling powerful, polished, and unapologetically you.
Where My Style Matches Your Vision
I’m not the bridal makeup artist for everyone and that’s totally okay. I don’t believe bridal makeup should make you look like a completely different person, or like you’ve barely got anything on.
It should make you feel (and look) like the most glamorous, confident, and photo-ready version of yourself.
I’m all about a flawless base, soft eyes, and that blushy glow that pulls it all together. It’s not natural, and it’s not Smokey eyes . It’s that ....
That’s what I want every bride to walk away with.
“yep, I'm polished but I'm so soft at the same time”

More than just a Bridal Makeup Artist...
To me, bridal makeup isn’t just makeup… it’s a feeling. It’s the confidence to smile at everyone you love on your wedding day, to capture the most beautiful photos you’ve ever had, and to radiate pure happiness on your big day.
It’s about creating a calm, supportive space where you can breathe, enjoy the process, and feel completely at ease with someone there to guide you every step of the way. That’s why I always say bridal makeup is an experience.
It’s something we build together, something that feels fun, elevated, and completely your vibe.
This is where your bridal journey begins: with care, collaboration, and a little hot-girl energy when you need it most (and hopefully a few giggles along the way).

BRIDAL
MAKEUP STORIES
One bride’s necklace broke while getting ready. I found a safety pin and rigged it so it held perfectly for the ceremony.
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..
