A MODERN APPROACH TO BRIDAL MAKEUP

I specialise in creating elegant, timeless makeup looks for the modern bride.

I trained professionally at The Central School of Makeup in 2015, building on a background in Fine Art, which gave me a strong foundation in colour theory and creative expression.

With a love for fashion and styling, I focus on creating polished, sophisticated looks that feel current but never dated. I take the time to get to know you, your personal style, your vision, so that every detail of your makeup feels beautifully tailored to you.

My kit is made up exclusively of premium and professional products, chosen for their performance, longevity, and flawless finish. This ensures your makeup looks impeccable from the first photo to the last dance.

More than anything, I’m passionate about helping brides feel like the very best version of themselves. I’ll be by your side right up until you walk down the aisle, Whether that means helping with final touch-ups, calming nerves, or simply offering a reassuring presence. It’s truly a privilege to be part of such a meaningful moment.

Ffion is the dream makeup artist!

I found Ffion on Instagram when I was looking for a local MUA who would be able to do a soft and natural look for my wedding. I don’t wear makeup other than mascara normally, but I tend to get very red faced when I’m hot and really didn’t want to have all my pictures with a red face, but Ffion was able to give me an amazing base that didn’t look heavy and lasted all night! She is such a talented artist and listened to everything I wanted and enhanced this with her own knowledge and skill. The end result looked incredible but still felt like me! I had so many compliments, and my husband was equally as obsessed with the look! Ffion is a must hire.

Superstar! ⭐️

I honestly cannot recommend Ffion enough.
My mum and I had our makeup done for my wedding in May 2025, and neither of us had much makeup knowledge or experience beforehand. From the very start, Ffion was incredible — she really listened to what we liked and didn’t like, talked us through every step of the process, and made us feel completely comfortable and reassured throughout.

I absolutely loved my bridal makeup. I felt so confident all day, it looked flawless right through until 11pm, and I was genuinely sad to take it off at the end of the night.

If you’re looking for a bridal makeup artist who truly listens, is incredibly knowledgeable about her products, and creates beautiful, long-lasting results, Ffion is absolutely your girl. ✨

Absolutely perfect!

Ffion was amazing! Honestly, amazing! From the trial months before, during the lead up and on the day, I couldn't have asked for a better make-up artist and generally lovely person to have on the day! Ffion delivered exactly what I wanted for a natural make up look, explained everything during the trial and on the day, and handed out little touch up kits on the day which were really helpful. She made me feel so at ease and comfortable, both during my trial and on my wedding day, I was so looking forward to seeing her again on the big day and to having my make up done again. Myself and my bridesmaids were all so happy with our make up and I couldn't recommend Ffion enough! She also saved the day with countless other little bits and bobs like scissors for labels, and tweezers for fiddly buttons! Thank you so much Ffion! xx

Above & beyond!

Ffion was absolutely incredible! I got in touch with her fairly last minute after my original makeup artist let me down. Ffion was so accommodating and reassuring from the first message, through the trial to the wedding day. She created the most beautiful look for me and my mum. I highly recommend Ffion to any brides to be, especially if you aren’t really sure what you want, she is so knowledgeable! Thank you so much Ffion x

Dream wedding makeup

Ffion was the perfect makeup artist for my wedding. She was very responsive from day 1 and flexible when I added in another bridesmaid to my bridal party and was able to come to my family home for a trial which was great. On the big day she was an incredibly calming presence and we all enjoyed chatting to her. My bridesmaids, mum and I all felt really great with our makeup and everyone looked stunning. Little touches like a touch up kit were so thoughtful and helped us to feel ready for the aisle! We were all ready in good time and didn’t feel rushed or stressed at all. I can’t recommend Ffion enough, thank you so much for making our wedding even more perfect ❤️

A True Makeup Magician – Thank You, Ffion!

I discovered Ffion Crilly on Hitched and was instantly drawn to her after checking out her Instagram. I remember watching a little video of her carefully organising her makeup kit into neat compartments, and I thought to myself: Wow, this woman is so clean, organised, and professional – I love it! From that moment, I had a feeling she was the one.

We had a FaceTime call and straight away, I knew she was the perfect fit. Warm, friendly, and totally down to earth. The trial was such an easy, relaxed experience – I felt completely at ease with her, and I absolutely loved what she did with my makeup.

On the big day, Ffion arrived like a fairy godmother with her magical little kit and brought the entire bridal party to life. She made every single one of us feel so special. My makeup was flawless – I truly felt beautiful, and I looked sensational in every single photo. I don’t know how she does it, but she really is a wizard with makeup!

Thank you, Ffion, for being a part of our special day and for making me feel more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. You are amazing at what you do – any bride would be lucky to have you!

Absolutely incredible

Ffion was amazing from start to finish. Speaking with her before the wedding completely put me at ease and I knew instantly that I could trust her to make me look fab on my big day. On the wedding day itself, she had such a calming aura and honestly just made me look and feel so beautiful. Her talent is completely unmatched. She knew exactly what I was after with my make up and I was over the moon with how I looked on the day. Thank you lovely Ffion!

Fabulous and Friendly

Ffion was everything I could have ever asked for on my wedding day! Friendly, relaxed, professional and absolutely fantastic! My makeup was just beyond beautiful and stayed picture perfect all day! I had a slightly vague brief and Ffion managed to create the exact image in my head. It was a joy have her with me on my wedding day and I would recommend her to any bride ! Thank you Ffion 🖤

Wedding Makeup

Ffion is incredibly professional and approachable. Ffion listens to your requests and talks you through what she is doing. I don’t wear much makeup so wanted to look natural. Makeup looked amazing and very subtle which suits my style. Whilst apprehensive I had no worries. Great lady

Wedding make up

Ffion is an amazing, talented make up artist - I honestly couldn’t have picked a better person to work with.

We started with my trial where she seamlessly translated my vision into a complete make up look. She clearly communicates what she’s doing, what products she’s using and what they will achieve, so I felt completely reassured and confident on what we were going to do on the day.

And on the day, she was so relaxed, engaged and made all my bridesmaids and mum look and feel their best. Despite having to get up at 5am, she couldn’t do enough for us and our make up stayed flawless for the entire day. The touch up kit for myself was such a thoughtful addition to make sure I felt my best.

Her eye for detail, professionalism and care is second to none. And her kit is the stuff of dreams.

It’s been a complete joy to have Ffion as part of my wedding day, I feel so lucky to have worked with her and cannot recommend her enough.

A 5* glowing experience!

Ffion has done my make-up on a number of occasions and each time I’ve been so so pleased with the outcome.

I’ve always suffered with my skin (acne, oily skin…) and when I do my make-up myself I always end up very matte to try to cover this up. Ffion’s application has always left me with glowing skin and a full coverage yet natural look, and most importantly helped me feel confident! Whilst doing my make-up she’s talked me through techniques and products so I can use these on my own.

Ffion’s cool and calm, especially important points on a wedding morning and willing to go above and beyond (she’s also incredibly funny so you’re guaranteed some giggles with Ffion).

I wish she could do make-up every day!
