About

I am a friendly, professional and experienced makeup artist who specialises in creating natural & timeless looks with a modern edge.

I use high-end, tried and tested cruelty-free products (and vegan-only products if requested) from brands such as Hourglass, Charlotte Tilbury, Delilah, Viseart and Face Atelier. I love to create flawless natural looking skin (with a glow!) and polished looks that just make you look and feel like an elevated version of yourself on a good day and that will last all day and night onto the dance floor into the early hours of the morning and beyond!

.
I have nearly 10 years of experience as as makeup up artist specialising in bridal makeup, and with that comes a wealth of knowledge of skin tones, skin types and techniques, meaning I can be flexible with the looks that you and your bridal require. I regularly attend in-person and online training courses and masterclasses to keep up-to-date with new products and techniquesand love sharing my knowledge with you and offering tips and tricks when it comes to your own makeup!


Being a part of a bride's special day, hearing all about your plans and getting to know you in the run-up to your special day is one of the parts I love most (apart from the day itself of course) I pride myself on offering all my brides a friendly,bespoke service where we work together to create your dream bridal look and I'm on hand from the first point of enquiry and in the run-up to your wedding (and indeed afterwards!) to offer any advice or answer any questions you may have.


I'm also happy to offer any potential brides a complimentary phone/online chat, so if requested, we can chat and meet once I've provided my availabilty and have sent you quote details. That way we get to meet prior to you deciding if you'd like to go ahead and I can answer any burning questions you may have or explain anything about the service I provide in more detail.

I have a lovely team of other experienced makeup artists & hair stylists that I can call upon to assist with large bridal parties or that I'm happy to recommend if I'm not free on your date. I mainly cover Sussex & Surrey, but I am more than happy to travel further afield if requested.

I look forward to hopefully chatting in more detail to you soon!

The best MUA there is

Absolutely Incredible, Belle is a Dream!

I first met Belle at my sister’s wedding, where she did all of our makeup, and I knew right then that she would be the one I’d choose for my own big day. Her work is absolutely flawless – she has this incredible ability to make you look and feel like the best version of yourself while still keeping everything natural, radiant, and perfectly suited to you.

She has a wonderful collaborative approach and really listens to what you want. She’s so patient and understanding but also confidently offers her advice and expertise on how to bring your look to life. She’s amazing.

On my wedding morning, Belle wasn’t just my makeup artist – she genuinely felt like part of the family. Her calm, friendly, and positive energy made the whole morning so special and relaxed. She went above and beyond for everyone, and we all felt so beautiful and confident thanks to her.

Belle is truly a dream to work with, professional, talented, and an absolute sweetheart. I can’t recommend her highly enough! I want to get married again so I can see and squeeze Belle. She’s a dream xxx

Belle is a hero - you won't regret hiring her

I cannot tell you how much booking Belle was the absolute BEST decision of my wedding (don't tell my husband). I had been a bridesmaid where Belle was the MUA in 2024 and I just loved her vibe, understanding and adaptability to each person.
For my wedding I asked Belle to not only go outside her usual style but asked her to ramp that up 200% and give me "natural Arab full glam"....yes I asked for something I couldn’t find on a Pinterest board and I cried at both my trial and on my wedding morning because she delivered better than my imagination both times.
Not only this but Belle also just ran my H&MUA schedule. I told her how due to so many family members and bridesmaids coming from all over the world there were in total 15-16 people for hair/make up or both (which I knew was a BIG ask but luckily a 2pm ceremony). Yes, this was a challenge, yes she smashed it and kept me updated on costs, the number of extra assistants we would need and found me the BEST wedding hair stylist I could have asked for (shout out to Hannah Heller).
I cannot tell you how much Belle makes you not only look beautiful but feel beautiful and genuinely cares about you being your best on the day.

If you are on the fence I promise you you won’t regret booking Belle. Her prices were similar to and in some cases LESS than others and she is beyond first class.

Thank you doesn't even cut it Belle you are an absolute hero. All the love, Sara

Best MUA in Sussex

Belle is not only an amazing makeup artist, but also such a calming and lovely person to be around. She made me feel at ease on the big day and I honestly felt like the best version of myself. I received so many compliments on my makeup, I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out! Thank you so much, Belle 💕 Highly recommend to any bride-to-be!

Wonderful!

From the very first call I had with Belle it felt like we clicked and it was clear that she was not only an incredible make up artist but an incredible person. I got married in June 2024 and Belle did both my hair and makeup and the makeup for my mum and two of the bridesmaids. Everyone not only looked amazing but felt it too. Belle really made me look the best version of myself and my makeup lasted all day and survived a ceilidh and dancing until 2am! Belle placed everyone at ease and created such a happy and relaxed atmosphere for us all to get ready in. Juggling six bridesmaids, me and my mum was no small task but Belle's amazing organisation and communication pre-wedding meant we had a clear schedule and everything ran smoothly. With some suppliers, you would have an initial call and then no communication until a few weeks before the wedding. However, with Belle, I really felt like we built a friendship which made things like the trial and morning of the wedding even more fun! Belle is such a joy to be around and I'm so sad not to have an excuse to get my hair and makeup done again!!

An incredible artist!

Look no further for your wedding or occasion make-up artist! Belle is the loveliest, most talented human - from the moment I first messaged her, I knew I'd made the right choice. She was always prompt and lovely in her emails, recommending a whole skincare regime when I said I was clueless. I had low expectations for my trial - I don't usually wear much make up and expected not to love it, but I was blown away. Belle made me look like me, but on be best day. She used gorgeous products and colours that really suited me, and I was thrilled with the end result. She's the most wonderful, chilled, fun presence to have around on a wedding morning, unflappable and kind, and she worked perfectly with my hair stylist Megan to create the best vibes. My make up stayed in place through a days worth of sobbing and dancing my socks off, and I had so many lovely comments. Couldn't recommend Belle more, and wish I had another event to book her for immediately!

The perfect bridal MUA

I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding MUA than Belle, I’d thoroughly recommend her to anyone (and do so regularly!). I adored my make up on the day, it was exactly what I wanted and Belle really took the time to understand what I did/didn’t like and helped with suggestions that she thought would work for me. I have eczema prone skin so Belle really helped with skin prep and make up that wasn’t going to irritate this on my big day which was a big worry of mine. The make up lasted all day and she was the perfect companion to calm nerves and help get me ready on the morning, I was very thankful for her!
