The Experience

Your wedding morning should feel calm, considered and completely your own.

My approach is centred around a skin-first philosophy designed to enhance your natural features with lightweight layering of products chosen to suit your skin tone and unique style.

I pride myself in creating an experience that feels seamless, unhurried and luxurious, so you can feel present, confident and entirely yourself.

  • The energy of your wedding morning matters.

    I bring a calm, grounded presence, creating a space that feels relaxed from the very beginning.

    You’ll have the space to take everything in, knowing every detail is taken care of.

  • Flawless makeup starts with well prepped skin. Before applying any makeup, I create a fresh, radiant skin base that ensures your makeup sits beautifully and lasts long into the night of your celebration.

    I use thoughtfully selected, skin-conscious products that enhance your glow, even out your skin tone and preps skin perfectly for makeup application.

    I then create a fresh, radiant makeup base that feels breathable and lightweight, allowing your natural skin to show through while enhancing the luminosity of your skin.

    The result is skin that looks like skin — just more refined, more even and more radiant.

  • Every bride is unique, with different preferences, styles and tastes. From your initial consultation, through to your bridal preview and the day itself, every detail is considered and tailored to your unique preferences and how you want to feel.

  • Your makeup look will be designed to last from those early morning wedding photos, right through to the last dance.

    Using specialist professional techniques and products, my aim is always to make you feel confident in how you look so you can focus on enjoying every minute of the day.

My Signature Style

My approach to makeup is centred around refined, natural beauty. Soft, modern and skin-focused, I create looks that are designed to enhance your features in a way that feels effortless, elevated and entirely you.

Radiant, Skin-First Base

Effortless, Modern Feel

I always start by creating a fresh, even complexion that feels lightweight and allows your natural skin to show through with a glowing luminosity.

My technique focuses on achieving a hydrated, polished, yet natural look, to enhance your features so you feel refined and completely yourself.

Timeless, Romantic Look

Elevated, Not Overdone

I see each bride as an individual and uniquely beautiful, I avoid overly trending looks that may be outdated in years to come, and prefer to celebrate you in your unique beauty.

The goal is to ensure you look and feel like your most confident, relaxed and elevated version of you, not overly made up, or too ‘overdone’.

Bride Reviews

  • Sarah C.

    “Mel was brilliant. From the trial right through to the day itself, she kept an incredibly reassuring calm which made all the difference to the experience. She spoke to me about the look that I wanted, came to trial it with me and totally nailed it on the day! Mel really gets what's important to you as a bride. Everything stayed where it was meant to, and I had several comments about how good my makeup looked even into the evening. It was great working with Mel; she took everything in her stride and was very accommodating with the time restraints and number of people we had to get through. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a calm, cool and collected hair and makeup artist for their big day! Thanks Mel!”

  • Rachel

    “Thank you so much again for the amazing job you did on my make-up (and for my mum and the bridesmaids who all loved what you did).  It lasted all evening and we had the most amazing day, I just couldn't stop smiling!”

  • Sarah S.

    “I wanted to send you a very belated thank you for doing my make-up for my wedding back in September. Everyone looked beautiful and everything stayed on and in til the end, which was great. I had several comments about how good my makeup looked, and how well it held all day, and it felt very nice and light too, which makes all the difference.

    I want to thank you as well for being so calm and collected in the morning. I’m sure you’ve seen it all before, but it really was very reassuring to have you there and not be phased by the shortened timings we had.”

  • Carolina

    “Mel is an incredibly talented professional and I would definitely recommend her for your wedding make up.  She has a very calming presence, the professional attitude and confidence of someone who really knows what she is doing. She carefully will listen to what you want and will make it happen!. I received loads of compliments on my wedding day and I have now hundreds of pictures that will testify forever how amazing my wedding day was and how pretty I looked!. 
    Thank you very much Mel x”
