With a strong understanding of how overwhelming wedding planning can feel, Emily is committed to making the makeup experience seamless and reassuring from the first enquiry to the final touch-up. Her signature style is polished, minimal and naturally glamorous - timeless rather than trend-led.

A considered, luxury bridal makeup service

Emily’s approach is established in both artistry and professionalism. With a fine art background, she brings a trained eye for colour theory and balance, allowing her to select flattering tones for every skin type, age and complexion.

 

Her experience working with luxury beauty brand Dior, alongside her background as a freelance beautician, means she offers informed, personalised skincare advice in the lead-up to the wedding day, ensuring skin looks its best long before makeup is applied.

 

Now in her fifth year as a full-time bridal specialist, Emily is known not only for her natural wedding makeup, but for the calm, steady presence she brings to the wedding morning.

 

“A wedding day should feel unrushed and relaxed. My role is to create a quiet, confident space where brides feel looked after.”

 

Emily continually invests in advanced training to keep her techniques current while maintaining a timeless aesthetic - a balance that appeals to modern brides seeking elegant, natural bridal makeup.

Like most girls, make up and hair on your wedding day is just as important as the dress itself. Even before we booked our wedding at Bruisyard, I looked at their recommended suppliers and found Emily. I had looked at so many MUA and just found Emily’s style to be flawless. From the moment I contacted her to the follow up after the wedding, everything she did was above and beyond: she was absolutely amazing. I am not one for lots of makeup and was sceptical after having my makeup done previously, but Emily listened and adapted it to suit me; I’d never felt so glad. Emily did so many little bits that I did not expect her to do… even moving the cot around the room for the photographer which I’m sure is not in her job description. I would definitely recommend Emily for makeup; if you’re reading this, just book her before your date is gone!
