My Signature Bridal Makeup Style

My signature bridal makeup style is built around creating fresh, radiant skin and soft definition that enhances your natural features. My focus is always to create a makeup look that is polished and refined, while still feeling comfortable and true to you.

Over the years, working with brides, I’ve developed a consistent approach that ensures your makeup looks beautiful in person, photographs well, and lasts from the ceremony through to the evening celebrations.

My signature style focuses on:

✧ Fresh, glowing skin with a natural, healthy finish ✧ Soft definition around the eyes to enhance your features ✧ Seamless blending for a polished, modern look ✧ Lightweight layers that build coverage without heaviness ✧ Long-lasting techniques to ensure your makeup stays in place ✧ A timeless finish that won’t look dated in photographs

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!”

“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”
