Meet Aurora

Makeup Artist & Hairstylist based in central London / King's Cross

Hi, I’m Aurora! A French hair and makeup artist based in London. My journey began over 10 years ago at the renowned Make Up Forever Academy, where I built a solid foundation in my craft. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working in some of Europe’s most beautiful destinations, perfecting my signature style—the effortless French touch. I create radiant, timeless, and polished looks that enhance your natural beauty and feel uniquely you!

With experience working for magazines and VIP clients, I’ve mastered the art of blending soft glamour and elegance into every look. Beyond my artistry, I’m known for my calm and organised approach, making sure your wedding day is as smooth and stress-free as possible. I genuinely treasure the personal connections I build with my brides, and it’s a joy to be part of your special day, ensuring you feel confident, beautiful, and truly looked after.

What do you love about doing weddings?

What I love most about doing weddings is the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful and special day. Having been a bride myself, I truly understand how important it is to feel your most beautiful and confident as you step into one of the biggest moments of your life. Knowing every detail has been thoughtfully considered, there’s something magical about helping a bride feel radiant and at ease.

I also love building personal connections with my clients, understanding their vision, and creating a look that reflects their personality and style. It’s rewarding to contribute to those unforgettable memories and ensure that every bride feels her best on her special day.

What’s one of your career highlights?

One of my career highlights has been the opportunity to work with brides across Europe in some of the most breathtaking locations. From the prestigious Villa d'Este in Lake Como to the charm of the French Riviera, the elegance of Paris, and even the magical desert landscapes of Morocco, each experience has been unique and unforgettable. Helping brides feel their most beautiful and confident in such incredible settings is truly what makes my work so rewarding.

What's your top tip for brides-to-be?

My top tip for brides-to-be is to trust your artist’s guidance and follow their instructions—they’re there to help you look and feel your best! Avoid last-minute experiments, like trying new skincare products or treatments, in the days leading up to the wedding, and stick to what works for you to keep your skin and hair at their best. I also recommend taking time for yourself—whether it’s meditating, doing some light exercise, or simply pausing to breathe. These small moments of self-care will help you feel calm, centered, and ready to enjoy every second of your big day.

What must-have products can be found in your kit?

My must-have for brides: Hollywood Filter, foundation, a waterproof mascara (the Volume of Chanel), Hourglass concealer, Laura Mercier powder, Westman Atelier stick contour, Dior Backstage foundation, Charlotte Tilbury lip liner, Giorgio Armani Liquid Highlighter 02, Liquid Lipstick Lip Blur by Charlotte Tilbury, and Nuxe Body oil!

I can't say enough good things about Aurora!

Aurora was such a joy to work with and made my wedding day so much more special. From the moment she arrived, she was super organized and professional, which put me at ease right away. She did my makeup, as well as my mom's and my three bridesmaids', and we were all beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. Each of us looked flawless, and the makeup lasted perfectly all day and night.

What really touched me was how Aurora made sure we all felt perfect and confident before the ceremony. It was like having a friend there to calm our nerves and make us feel our best. If you're looking for a talented and warm makeup artist who truly cares, Aurora is the one!

The Perfect Bridal Stylist!

Aurora did my bridal look at my destination wedding in Marrakesh. I was stressed because we had to do the trial the day before as I live abroad. She put me at ease immediately and ensured I was 100% happy about my look. She is very professional and has much knowledge about hair and makeup artistry. She stayed with me all day to do some touch-ups and was very discreet. Thank you again, Aurora, for the fantastic experience!

Exceptional Talent - A Master of Bridal Makeup

I had the absolute pleasure of having my bridal makeup done by the incredibly talented Aurora. From the very first consultation to the final touches on the big day, she demonstrated nothing short of perfection. Her attention to detail, artistic vision, and ability to bring out the best features made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day. She truly understood the look I wanted and executed it flawlessly, with the perfect balance of elegance and sophistication. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any bride seeking a professional who will exceed all expectations.

I knew I was in good hands

I cannot recommend Aurora enough. She really made me feel beautiful on my wedding day and kept the makeup natural, as I requested.

She did a great job with my mom and bridesmaids' makeup, and all of ours stayed in place throughout the day until the night ended.

Her touch-up gift was a nice personal touch, which I really appreciate. It just goes to show that she really goes above and beyond for her brides.

Thank you again, Aurora!

Friendly, reliable and punctual

Aurora did my hair and makeup on my wedding day in the South of France. She is friendly, reliable, punctual, patient and does her job with a massive smile. She is an absolute joy to work with.
She created exactly what I wanted for my hair and makeup. She is a perfectionist; she will only let you go once you have achieved perfection. Everyone complimented me on my makeup and hair. They all said it was the best makeup they had ever seen on any bride, and the hairdo was stunning, too. She is an excellent makeup artist, and I highly recommend her. Don’t look any further; book her. It was a pleasure knowing you and working with you, Aurora.
Thank you again for making me look amazing on my big day. All the best for your future.

Excepcional!

I would highly recommend Aurora to anyone looking for a bridal stylist! She first gave me a fitting a few days before the wedding and it was amazing.
She was confident, efficient, and genuinely cared about making sure that I was 100% satisfied with my hair. The most important thing for her was making sure that I was happy and confident, which was refreshing and made for a smooth start to the day!
