Hello, Naomi here!

It's so lovely to meet you! Talking about yourself is never easy, but here are a few bits about me...

I qualified as a Makeup Artist almost 15 years ago. Over this time, I've worked in-house and on the counter for some of the best: Estee Lauder, Smashbox, Mac, Bobbi Brown, and Shu Uemura...

Fast-forward to the present, and I now work solely as a freelance Makeup Artist and Hairstylist. I am also the Beauty and Wellness Editor for a global magazine and a freelance beauty writer for titles such as Liz Earle Wellbeing Magazine.

From 'I will' to 'I do'

Throughout my career in makeup, I've always felt there's nothing more humbling than being trusted by my brides on the morning of their ceremony. To be there for you, for your wedding makeup and hair? What an honour! The same goes for mums, sisters and best friends on the big day – whoever is important to you and by your side before you walk down the aisle.

The creation of your dream bridal look is totally individual. You've planned the perfect day, and your makeup and hair really bring everything together. We'll work together to create an aesthetic that reflects your style and your personality...

It's still you, but your best bridal version!

I specialise in beautifully natural, effortless, yet glamorous makeup and hairstyling. So, does this sound like you? We might just be the perfect fit!

Even from the first stages of planning, I'm always here for any questions you may have. Then, we will meet before your ceremony for a trial to get to know each other and try out some ideas before the day.

We'll work together to create your vision of your look for the big day, probably with multiple cups of tea (mine's milk-no-sugar, always with biscuits). Drawing on over a decade of experience on my part to help guide you through the preparations.

On your ceremony day, I travel wherever you are getting ready, accommodating your whole bridal party for makeup and hair, no matter the size of your entourage. For larger bridal parties, I work with my team of trusted assistants to get you all wedding-ready, so don't hesitate to add your bridesmaids or family, too!

Let's keep it clean (beauty)!

When it comes to products in my kit, it's only the best for skincare, makeup and hair products... Anything in my kit has been tried and tested by myself, on myself and countless lovely faces, over years of working in the industry.

I'm passionate about sustainable beauty and am plant-based myself. I can offer a fully vegan makeup and hair service if this aligns with your lifestyle, and my kit is packed with cruelty-free products.

All makeup and hair has to offer...

Alongside working with my south west bridal clients, I work in commercial advertising too, and I love working with beauty brands! Most recently, I've worked with brands such as Keihl's, Lee Stafford, Superfacialist, Olay and L'Oreal!

All in all, I love my job, and I can't wait to share that passion with you.

My work in the Music Industry has seen me work with Tom Fletcher from McFly (the most lovely man in music), Sandi Thom (inner 12-year-old me was screaming with excitement when I got that email!) and Capital FM.

Within fashion, I've worked with brands such as Diesel and Nike whilst also seasonally at London Fashion Week – the bustle on the morning of a wedding is serene in comparison!

Thanks for reading, I can't wait to hear from you!
