Bridal makeup, with hairstyling available
Bridal makeup
For the bride who wants to look extraordinary, feel completely herself, and know she's in expert hands. In South Africa and wherever you're getting married.
A look that starts with you
I don't arrive with a template. We start with your face, your skin and how you like to look, then build from there. Your dress, your venue, the season and your photographer all shape the final choices.
If you love understated makeup, we'll keep it light and precise. If you want real glamour, we'll build it in a way that still looks like skin.
Beautiful in person and in every photograph
Bridal makeup has to work at arm's length and through a lens. I think about daylight, evening light and the flash at your reception, so the look reads true in both places.
I prepare skin carefully and choose products for your skin type, the weather and the length of your day, so your makeup stays comfortable and keeps its shape through hugs, tears and dancing.
Your bridal preview
A preview is where we try your look, adjust it and agree on it, so the morning holds no surprises. Bring inspiration images, photographs of your dress and any thoughts about your hair. It's also where you get to know me, so I'm a familiar face on the day.
A calm, well-run morning
I plan your beauty timeline around your ready-by time, your photographer and your dress, and share it with your planner before the day. Then I arrive prepared and keep to it.
Your bridal party, mothers and family each get makeup that suits them. For larger parties I'll tell you honestly whether a second artist would make the morning easier.
Bridal collections
Three ways to book, depending on who's getting ready with you. Every collection is tailored, and I take one wedding per day.
- Bride only
The Bride
Your bridal makeup with a bridal preview, skin preparation guidance and a timeline built around your morning.
- Bride and those closest to you
The Bridal Party
Everything in The Bride, plus makeup for your mothers, bridesmaids and family, each suited to the person wearing it.
- Bride, party and all-day cover
The Full Day
Your bridal party collection with touch-up cover through the ceremony and photographs, and a second look for the evening.
South African and European weddings are priced separately. Weddings elsewhere are quoted individually.
Ways to add to your day
These can be added to any collection to suit your wedding.
Skin preparation plan
Personal guidance on your skin in the months before the wedding, so it arrives in the best condition it can.
Wedding-morning timeline
A beauty schedule built around your ready-by time, shared with your planner and photographer.
Touch-up cover
I stay on through photographs and the ceremony to keep everything perfect.
Second look
An evening change for the reception: a deeper lip, more definition, a refreshed finish.
Finishing touches
Help with your veil, jewellery and final details before you walk.
Mother of the bride
Unhurried time for the women closest to you, with makeup chosen for each of them.
Hairstyling is available for you and your party. Tell me what you're imagining when you enquire.

Questions brides ask
How far ahead should I book?
As soon as you have your date and venue. Peak wedding dates book well ahead, and your date is only held once your booking is confirmed.
Do you work with every skin type and skin tone?
Yes. I've worked with more than 300 brides and their families, across ages, skin tones, skin types, features and textures. I choose products and techniques for the person in my chair, not a routine for everyone.
Will my makeup last all day?
I build bridal makeup to wear well through a long day, from the ceremony to the dancing, and choose products for your skin, the weather and the length of your day. Every skin and every day is different, so I'll tell you honestly what to expect, and you can add touch-up cover if you'd like me to stay.
Can you do my hair as well?
Yes, hairstyling is available. Tell me what you have in mind when you enquire and I'll confirm what I can create for you and your party.
Do you travel to the venue?
Yes. I come to you on the morning, at your venue, home or hotel, anywhere in South Africa and abroad. Travel is included in your quotation.
Will you work with our planner and photographer?
Yes. I'm used to working alongside planners, venues and photographers, and I build the beauty timeline around the rest of your morning.
Is my date reserved when I enquire?
Not yet. An enquiry starts the conversation. I'll reply personally within 48 hours about availability, and once you're happy with your quotation, a 50% deposit secures your date.
Do you do more than one wedding a day?
No. I take one wedding per day, so I'm never rushing off to another bride. Your morning has my full attention.
Are prices the same in South Africa and Europe?
No. South African and European weddings are priced separately, and weddings elsewhere are quoted individually, so your quotation reflects your wedding as it really is.
