La Storia Makeup Atelier in Exeter, Devon, is a luxury bridal makeup artist offering bespoke wedding makeup services across Devon, Cornwall, and London, with nationwide and international availability upon request.
Founded by Akmaral, a professionally trained makeup artist who qualified in Dubai and has over a decade of international experience in bridal, editorial, and high-fashion artistry, La Storia brings a global perspective to every wedding day look — now based in the heart of Devon, England.

The bridal makeup experience begins with a private consultation and personalised makeup trial, where the bride’s vision is carefully refined to create a timeless, natural bridal look tailored to her individual features, skin tone, and wedding day style. On the wedding morning, Akmaral delivers a calm, unhurried getting-ready experience — with luxury skin preparation, flawless long-lasting makeup application, and premium products chosen to look beautiful in photographs and wear comfortably from ceremony through to the last dance. Bridal party makeup for bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, and guests is also available.

Beyond wedding day makeup, La Storia offers professional occasion makeup for galas and special events, editorial makeup artistry for fashion campaigns and styled shoots, an immersive Maison Experience combining makeup artistry with professional photography at exclusive venues, and a discreet Executive Presence grooming service for professionals and corporate clients.

As a destination wedding makeup artist with international experience, La Storia is equally at home at an intimate countryside ceremony in Cornwall, a stylish London celebration, or a wedding abroad.

Only a limited number of weddings are accepted each year to ensure every bride receives a deeply personal, refined experience. Bridal makeup packages are available for bride-only services with no minimum booking fee.
