Award-Winning Bridal and OCCASION Makeup ARTIST IN THE NORTH EAST


I am a multi-award-winning bridal and occasion makeup artist with over ten years of experience. Currently based in Washington, North East I work with brides and occasion clients covering Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland, Teesside, Northumberland and Yorkshire across the North East and beyond, creating timeless, elegant looks that feel effortlessly beautiful both in person and on camera.
My journey into makeup began whilst I was pregnant with my son, Layton. What started as a personal passion quickly evolved into a career after I undertook professional training at a makeup academy and refined my skills alongside established artists. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of brides - something I never take for granted. Being trusted on such an important day is an honour that continues to inspire me.
For me, bridal makeup is about far more than products and technique. It is about creating a calm, supportive and luxurious experience from the very first enquiry to the final touch on your wedding morning. I want every bride to feel confident, comfortable and truly radiant - to have that unforgettable moment when you look in the mirror and simply feel like the very best version of yourself.
My kit is carefully curated with high-end, cruelty-free and vegan products, and I have extensive experience working with sensitive or allergy-prone skin, ensuring both comfort and longevity throughout your day.
When you choose to work with me, you are choosing experience, professionalism and genuine care - someone who will be by your side to ensure your morning feels seamless, relaxed and completely centred around you.
The date is approaching fast and I'm currently making preparations. Don’t miss out!
