Last update: April 2026

Planning a wedding can feel like a whirlwind, and choosing the right makeup artist shouldn’t add to the overwhelm. I’m Amy Arch, the artist behind Makeup by Amy, and my role is to make this part of your journey feel effortless, and genuinely enjoyable.

My bridal makeup service is designed to give you a calm, creative, and confidence‑boosting experience from the moment you enquire to the moment you walk down the aisle. Every bride receives a full trial where we take our time exploring different styles, tones, and techniques until we find the look that feels authentically you. This is your space to experiment, ask questions, and enjoy the process — nothing is rushed, and you have complete creative freedom.

My kit includes a wide range of luxury and professional brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Huda Beauty, MAC, Pat McGrath, NARS, and more. Every product is chosen for its performance, longevity, and skin‑loving ingredients. With a degree in Hair and Makeup, I bring not only artistry but also a deep understanding of product formulation, skin compatibility, and how to tailor makeup to different complexions, textures, and conditions. This means your makeup is customised with intention, knowledge, and care.

When you book with me, you’re not just booking a makeup artist — you’re gaining someone who is friendly, approachable, and genuinely invested in your day. You can contact me whenever you need advice, reassurance, or help planning your morning timeline. I’m there to make the getting‑ready experience smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable for you and your bridal party.

Your wedding day is special, and my goal is to make you feel beautiful, supported, and completely at ease from start to finish.

Amy made me feel beautiful on my special day 💕

had the pleasure of working with Amy, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to my needs. On my big day, my makeup was flawless—perfectly suited to my style. The products she used were high quality, and it lasted all day.

Not only was the service top-notch, but it was also great value for money. I felt pampered and beautiful, without breaking the bank. I highly recommend Amy to any bride looking for a stress-free, amazing makeup experience!

Would hire Amy again and again!!!

I had my makeup done by Amy for my partner’s birthday meal, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel completely at ease. She talked me through every product she used, explaining what it was for and why it would work for my skin. As someone with sensitive skin, I was so impressed by how carefully she adapted and swapped certain products to make sure everything felt comfortable and looked flawless.
What I loved most was how closely she listened to what I like. She didn’t just do a generic look, she created a makeup style that suited my face, my preferences, and the vibe I wanted for the night. I left feeling so confident, glamorous, and genuinely myself… just the best version! I recieved so many compliments that night!
Amy is not only incredibly skilled but also warm, friendly, and attentive to every detail. I honestly can’t recommend her enough, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again for future events!

Perfect in every way

I had Amy do my makeup for my birthday and she did not disappoint! Her bubbly personality really put me at ease as she fully took control to make me less anxious. I had previously sent Amy ideas of what I wanted my makeup to look like and she made suggestions to what would look best with my face shape and skin type and I can confirm my makeup lasted all night long. 100% would book again and recommend! Thank you Amy!

Couldn’t recommend enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amy has done my makeup many of times and recently done my friend’s wedding, who was overjoyed with her experience. She never fails to put you at ease whilst bringing the best vibe. Her attention to detail is second to none. Whether you’re an avid makeup wearer or lean on the minimalist side Amy will make you feel special and confident. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
