Hey,

I’m Mel Jenkinson

I’m a professional makeup artist based in Brighton, Sussex specialising in natural, modern bridal makeup. My focus is to help you feel confident, comfortable and completely yourself on your wedding day!

I understand how important these special moments are. My role as a makeup artist is always to create a calm, supportive environment, and ensure you feel at your most beautiful on your celebration.

My Approach to makeup

My approach to makeup is to enhance your natural features rather than changing how you look. I believe the best makeup feels like you — just more polished, radiant and confident.

Every person I work with is different, so I take the time to understand your preferences, your style and how you want to feel. Whether you're preparing for your wedding day, an important event or a personal makeup lesson, my goal is always to create a relaxed, organised experience from start to finish.

My Experience

I’ve spent many years working as a professional makeup artist, supporting women during weddings, special occasions and personal makeup lessons. Over time, I’ve learned that great makeup is about listening, paying attention to detail and creating an environment where you feel comfortable and looked after.

Working closely with brides and clients has given me a strong understanding of how to create makeup that photographs beautifully, lasts throughout the day and still feels natural and wearable in real life.
