About

Katelyn Simkins - makeup artist, based in Bath, Somerset, offers deluxe wedding beauty services. Bridal makeup is one of my greatest joys, because it allows me to honour something I value deeply: your individuality. After more than two decades working across film, editorial, red carpet, and private clients, I’ve learnt that beauty is never a formula. It’s a feeling, and it’s different for every woman who sits in my chair.

I’m not a “paint‑by‑numbers” makeup artist. I don’t believe in forcing trends or recreating the same look from bride to bride. Instead, I take my time to really see you — your features, your style, your energy, the atmosphere of your wedding day, and create makeup that feels like an elevated, luminous version of you. My goal is always the same: that you feel confident, comfortable, and beautifully yourself from the moment you step into your dress to the last dance of the night.

Now based in the heart of Bath, I offer bridal makeup either in my calm, light‑filled studio or on location at venues across Somerset, Bristol, and the South West. Whether you’re dreaming of soft, romantic radiance or a more modern, polished finish, I bring a steady hand, a calming presence, and an intuitive eye to every wedding morning.

It’s an honour to be part of such an intimate, meaningful moment, and I would love to help your natural beauty shine in a way that feels timeless, personal, and entirely your own.
