About me

My journey into the world of beauty and makeup began 6 years ago when I was looking for an alternative to high street skincare. I wanted something that was as natural as possible, clean, vegan, and certified cruelty free. This is when I stumbled across a US brand called LimeLife by Alcone that offered exactly what I wanted! They had the most amazing range of beautiful professional makeup too which is how my Makeup Artistry journey began, and I haven't looked back!

Beautiful makeup starts with healthy, radiant skin!

Yes, it's true! If you put makeup on dry, flaky skin, it's going to look dry and flaky! I offer everyday skincare advice, and work alongside a very knowledgeable and trusted Beauty Therapist friend who offers bespoke, tailored facials using the latest technology and beauty products. Whether you have specific skin concerns, or just want pampering before your wedding day, she will look after you in her private salon and ensure you're relaxed and glowing from head to toe!

Your wedding day makeup

I'm a big believer in enhancing your natural beauty! We are all beautiful in our own unique way, and I love enhancing your features rather than covering them up! During your pre-wedding trial I will take the time to help you feel calm and collected and will listen to all your ideas and provide my beauty expertise when needed. No time for a trial, or don’t live in Cornwall, Devon or Somerset? You can still get wedding day makeup without one! I have a lot of clients who don't live locally, but get married in Devon and Cornwall. In the time leading up to your wedding day, I will liaise with you to discuss what look you would like, with the help of photo ideas!

On your special day, you and your bridal party will leave the room feeling calm, radiant and confident. You will have my full attention, and timings for the day are pre-arranged ensuring you can just sit back, relax and enjoy every moment!

My gift to you!

Every bride receives a complimentary full size lip colour of their choice, as chosen in your pre-wedding makeup trial, worth up to £29. Your bridal party will receive a touch up lip kits in a pretty organza bag so their lip colour can be kept fresh throughout the day!

Weekday discounts

I offer a 10% discount on Wedding Day makeup for weddings taking place Mondays to Thursdays all year round.

Bridal Hair

I do collaborate with two very talented Bridal Hair Stylists! Kirstie France - Hair Artist and Lily of the Valley Hair Design can both be found on Hitched, and we do a lot of weddings together. Please view their profiles to see exactly how incredible they are!
