Last update: November 2025

My name is Michelle Keogh, and I am the owner of Makeup By Michelle. I am a London-based Hair & Makeup artist with over 20 years of experience in the TV, Film, Fashion & the Wedding industry. I work with my brides to enhance their natural appearance, giving that flawless yet glamorous look.

I cover most areas across Surrey and London, but I am also willing to travel.

For me; makeup isn't about covering imperfections, it's about revealing personality, confidence and self-assurance. Whether it's a subtle enhancement or a bold statement, I believe that makeup has the ability to empower, uplift, and inspire.

Book her now!

I cannot recommend Michelle enough! She took the time to really ask about the look I wanted and immediately set me at ease. She was professional, warm and a lovely person to spend my wedding morning with! My daughter and I were thrilled with the results of her hair and make up.

Felt amazing

I’m not usually one to have my hair or makeup done and lack confidence in both areas.
Michelle made me feel comfortable and listened to what I wanted and was so patient with me, and the end result was brilliant! I felt confident and pretty. My hair and makeup lasted until the very end and I was sad to take it out.

100% recommend Michelle to any bride to be!

Wedding Hair & Make-up

@makeupbymichelle_k
Thank you so much for making me look & feel so beautiful on what was the most magical day 💓
You not only made me look beautiful, you created an amazing hairstyle which lasted all day & night, you put me at ease, you continued to ensure my make-up & hair was perfect once dressed, added my tiara & veil and was also our impromptu photographer, content creator, skincare and product advisor and one of the girls with us getting ready ❤️
You even went out of your way to help with one of my Maid of Honours hair. You didn't stop adding perfection and I cannot recommend you and your services enough!!
Thank you again!! 19.09.25

Perfection!

Michelle is fantastic!!

She is calm and composed, super professional and kind and takes any challenge in stride like a pro! The morning of my wedding was chaotic and Michelle was the much needed rock solid presence. On top of that, her talent is unmatched - I've never seen anyone whip up the absolute most immaculate makeup in such a short time!

I consider myself picky when it comes to my make up, since I never wear any, so for a bridal makeup to be beautiful and still feel like myself is such an achievement! The moment I did the trial with Michelle I knew she had some serious talent and skill and I had no doubts that she'd be my hair and makeup artist on my special day. 😊

My bridal make up was EXCELLENT, it stayed on all night and I cried A LOT and it didn't affect the makeup at all! I looked the best I have ever done, whilst still looking like myself. Michelle absolutely killed it by bringing out all my natural features whilst keeping it soft enough so I could feel like myself and recognise my own face in the mirror. 😉

Michelle is incredible and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have anybody else doing my makeup and hair!

Michelle, thank you for your patience, your professionalism, your calm vibe and brilliant talent! Everyone agreed that my makeup was stunning and I felt fantastic. All the best to you, thank you for helping make my special day perfect! 🙏🥰❤️

Bridesmaid makeup and hair

I booked Michelle after coming across her page on Hitched to do hair and makeup for my sister's civil wedding. On the wedding day, she was friendly and made me feel relaxed by talking to me throughout. I gave her a brief description of the make up look i was going for. She came up with an eye makeup look which complimented my dress. The makeup looked natural and emphasied my features. She did waves in my hair which looked beautiful and lasted all night. She is talented and is attentive to detail. Michelle also did my mum's makeup and it turned out amazing.

Bridal hair and makeup

Michelle is absolutely amazing. She listened to my (very vague!) ideas for my wedding hair and makeup and the finished result was everything I hoped for. She even managed to curl my 4-year old’s hair for the wedding too. The little takeaway bag she provided was so thoughtful and useful for touchups during the day. Michelle is not only extremely talented at hair and makeup but really made me feel at ease during the trial and on the big day. She calmed my nerves and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Bridesmaid make up

Very happy with the service Michelle provided. She remained professional throughout. I was blown away by my make up and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone in need of a make up artist.

Wedding styling to perfection!!!

Having Michelle by my side on my wedding day was more than just having a talented make-up artist and hairstylist — it was having a dear friend of our family, someone we've trusted and loved for 37 years, helping me step into one of the most important moments of my life.

Michelle knows me so well, and that showed in every detail. She created a look that felt completely “me” — elegant, timeless, and full of joy. My make-up was soft and radiant, and my hair stayed perfect from morning to midnight, through every laugh, tear, and dance.

Beyond her incredible skill, Michelle brought a sense of calm and care that made the morning feel relaxed and special. She’s always had a gift for making people feel beautiful inside and out, and on my wedding day, she did just that.
I’m so grateful to have had Michelle with me — not just as a professional, but as someone who’s been part of our lives for nearly four decades. Her presence made the day even more meaningful, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else.

Fantastic makeup and hair!

Michelle recently did my bridal hair and makeup and I felt (and looked) AMAZING! Michelle was also really personable and communicated well throughout the whole process from trial to the big day itself, including making me feel really relaxed on the morning of my wedding. Would highly recommend!

Fabulous experience

I had such great luck in choosing Michelle for my wedding . My sister , mum and niece and myself had hair and makeup and she did an amazing job ! My hair was exactly how I had asked and my makeup was natural looking but achieved with much skill that kept it in place all day . I really can’t recommend Michelle enough .

Magic Michelle!!!

I contacted Michelle in the hope of finding a hair and make up artist for my prom! She was so lovely, super professional and made me look amazing by skilfully putting my hair up and then bringing out my best features, particularly around my eyes. I couldn’t believe I could look that good! Thank you Michelle, I couldn’t recommend you enough to others.

Superstar 🌟

Michelle is incredibly lovely, kind, professional and very patient (!). She was an integral part of the wedding day (and before) and helped keep things as calm and under control as possible.

She really listened to what I wanted and made sure I was involved at all stages. She even managed to get my little ones to get their hair looking lovely, which is something I hugely struggle with on a daily basis with how wiggly they are!

I can't recommend Michelle enough xx

Coles wedding

Michelle was amazing prior to and on the day. My trial was great and she was so open to small changes in the build up. I was absolutely chuffed with my hair and make up on the day, I was so worried as I lack self confidence I’m my appearance but she made me feel like a beautiful bride. My 5 bridesmaids were also so happy with their makeup and felt so comfortable in her presence x

Would highly recommend

Michelle was brilliant when I hired her to do make up and hair for my wedding. Not only was the hair and make up beautiful but she was so calm and lovely and made me feel super chilled on a very nerve wracking day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone - elite stylist

Don’t hesitate to use Michelle!

Michelle turned up on my wedding day as an emergency fill-in as my original hair and make up artist was ill. I’d never met Michelle before and put my entire trust into her and she didn’t disappoint. Just by showing her a couple of photos, she crafted exactly what I imagined my hair to look like! I’m so grateful to Michelle - she was huge part of making my day feel so perfect.
