About

I am a fully qualified award winning Luxury Bridal Makeup Artist based in my Makeup studio in Water End Hemel Hempstead where we offer a range of services like makeup lessons and hair as well as beauty.

After suffering with my skin as a teen, I fell in love with the confidence makeup gave me. I felt beautiful at a time when I lacked self love and this was all thanks to make up. I love the transformative power of makeup taking my clients from apologetic to fearless! My aim is to make every one of my clients feel like they could walk the red carpet after I am finished with them.

My signature makeup style is Modern Bridal Makeup, but with my 10 years experience in the makeup industry, I am able to tailor each makeup look to suit each individual clients requirements. If I am not working, you can find me cooking up a storm in the kitchen probably an Em Nutritionist recipe or in the Gym with my friends.

I am booked up with both wedding and events makeup throughout the year and I am now international, booking Destination Wedding Makeup in places like Assisi - Italy, Dordogne - France, Athens - Greece, Cyprus - Greece, Crete - Greece and Mykonos - Greece. I have family in Italy so love to visit them often!

I love teaching and sharing my skills with other makeup artists and have a real passion for creativity so I love it when my clients let me try something new.​

If you want to find out more about the services I offer please visit my website. I am based in Hertfordshire but cover the whole of the UK and beyond!

Wow, Zoe you have changed my whole perception on make up on me!

Zoe did my wedding make up in Oct 2025 for me and my bridesmaids. She was lovely, so very friendly and made me feel at ease, especially at my trial as I don't normally wear make-up. I was way out of my comfort zone and she was patient, we tried different styles and, on the actual wedding day, everything came together perfectly, I felt amazing! Thank you Zoe, you have changed my perception on make up and I definitely will look to book onto one of your make-up lessons in the future.

Myself and many others felt the prettiest we’ve ever felt with our make up for my wedding!

Zoe was my make up artist for my wedding that took place in early June 2025 at Ashridge House. My make up package included myself, 4 bridesmaids and mother of the bride. We also included trial sessions for myself and my mum. The trials went really well; Zoe was very considerate of skin types, tones and provided advice on what eyeshadow and lip tones would skin types. My mum loved her trial so much and felt so pretty; she has her trial pic as her first ever WhatsApp profile pic!
When I initially booked, we were originally thinking of having a support artist also, but Zoe mentioned early on in the booking stages that she could lower the costs with just herself as she has had many successful experiences, confidently catering for that number. Everyone on the day was in awe of their make up and did not feel rushed at all! One of my bridesmaids who is conscious about her acne, said it’s the prettiest she’s ever felt with make up on! Zoe was a seamless and professional make up artist; even after I teared up from my dad seeing me all done up for the 1st time, she was happy to speedily step in last minute to make sure I looked perfect before stepping down the aisle. I could not have asked for a better MUA for my wedding and am truly thankful!

Don’t hesitate to book

Zoe is an incredible makeup artist! She is a perfectionist which reflects perfectly in her work. She gave lots of time in the trial to achieve the bridal look I was happy with, and to be honest I left it to her judgement overall.
I felt so amazing on the wedding day, and she even touched up my makeup after the ceremony to ensure I was photo ready. My mum also had her make up done, which she hasn’t had before and she absolutely loved it.
I couldn’t recommend Zoe enough to any fellow brides!

Incredible make up 🤩🤩

I am so pleased that Zoe was available for my wedding makeup and would recommend her for any Bride-to-be. She really wants to make sure you feel your make up is perfect as well as being so helpful with wedding day tips and making sure your photos are picture perfect! She went above and beyond on my wedding morning and I had complete trust that she would make me and all the bridesmaids look amazing. She made me feel so calm and comfortable and made a schedule with the hairdresser to make sure the wedding morning ran smoothly. All of our make up was amazing and still looked just as amazing at the end of the night. Zoe is so incredible at what she does 🤩🤩

Absolutely Brilliant!

Zoe was absolutely incredible! She brought a calm, grounded presence to a busy and hectic morning, and I felt SO safe in her hands after my wonderful trial where Zoe worked closely with me to ensure she did everything to my liking! I honestly couldn’t recommend her more, and the number of compliments I received speaks volumes. My bridesmaids and mum were also over the moon with their makeup - and it was an absolutely joy to have her at the wedding to do some final touch ups and she even fixed my dress before I walked down the aisle!! Couldn’t be more grateful 💗

Incredible!!!

Zoe did the makeup for my wedding day for me, my mum and five bridesmaids and I honestly couldn’t have been happier. She completely brought my vision to life and made me feel the absolute best version of myself. It was everything I had hoped for and more!

All day long, people were complimenting our makeup, it looked flawless in person and in photos, and it lasted beautifully from morning through to late evening. Each of the bridesmaids felt amazing and confident, and my mum was over the moon with hers too.

Beyond the stunning makeup, Zoe herself is just such a joy to have around on a wedding morning. She’s incredibly welcoming, warm, and friendly, the kind of person who instantly puts you at ease and helps create a calm, happy atmosphere.

I’m so grateful to have had her as part of the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and genuinely lovely makeup artist. Thank you, Zoe!

A perfect bridal makeup experience

For anyone who might be nervous or anxious about choosing their wedding makeup artist, Zoe is the ultimate choice. She is highly professional, patient and conscientious - a complete perfectionist down to the smallest detail. I could not have been more in love with my bridal look.

My bridesmaids, my mum and I are all very natural makeup girlies, and I was worried about finding someone who would actually take note of this. But right from my trial, all the way through to the final wedding photos, the looks that Zoe created were simply beautiful. She really listened to exactly what I wanted (ethereal, fairy, romantic, fresh) and brought my absolute dream makeup to life. All four of my bridesmaids and my mum said it was the best they’d ever looked - I could see how confident and beautiful they all felt, which made my own day even better.

Zoe was so calm, chatty and lovely to have around during the morning prep, and I am so grateful to have had her talent on my team. I really hope to work with her again in the future, because I definitely won't ever be able to recreate her gorgeous work myself! I couldn't recommend her more.

Never felt more beautiful!

Zoe completed bridal makeup for myself, my mum, 5 bridesmaids and my mother in law. She brought an additional makeup artist with her to ensure we all felt our makeup was priority and no one was rushed. Zoe was amazing from start to finish! She completed a trial with myself and my mum a few months in advance so we could check wear time, colours, styles etc. Zoe made sure we all felt relaxed during the getting ready time and every one of us commented on how beautiful we felt. Her makeup lasted the entire wedding and photographed incredibly well. It gave us all a natural feel so we still looked like ourselves but felt glamorous! I highly recommend Zoe! She is the best of the best!!!

Wedding make up by ZK

I had my wedding make up done by Zoe, it was incredible! It stayed all day. She made me feel at ease on the day and was so accommodating to the rest of the wedding party. She is definitely one of the best in her field. I felt beautiful.

Zoe made me feel beautiful!

I’m so glad I chose Zoe as my makeup artist for our wedding—she was absolutely incredible from start to finish! From the moment I booked her, she was brilliant at communicating, always friendly, professional, and so talented.

On the morning of the wedding, I was feeling really nervous, but Zoe brought such a calming presence. She helped me feel relaxed and made the whole experience enjoyable and special. We couldn’t access the venue until 9am, so she came to our hotel early and just made everything run so smoothly.

She made me feel so beautiful. I have really oily skin, and I was honestly amazed at how perfectly my makeup held up—it lasted all day and night, even after hours of dancing! It looked flawless in photos and in person, and I felt so confident.

Zoe is not only incredibly skilled but also such a lovely person to have with you on your wedding morning. I truly couldn’t recommend her enough—thank you, Zoe, for helping me feel like the best version of myself!

Ashridge House Wedding

I cannot recommend Zoe enough! From the moment she arrived, she was calm, professional, and so talented. She made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day, and the makeup was absolutely flawless—it stayed perfect all day and night, through happy tears, dancing, and everything in between!

Not only did she work her magic on me, but she also did an incredible job on my mother, mother-in-law, and maid of honour. They all looked stunning, and she tailored each look perfectly to complement their features and personal styles.

I am so grateful to have had her as part of my wedding day. If you're looking for a talented, reliable, and all-around wonderful makeup artist, Zoe was perfect!

Thank you again for making us all feel so beautiful! 💕

Wedding Makeup

After a lot of research and unsuccessful makeup trials, I was recommended Zoe. She is very talented and my wedding day makeup came out amazing and lasted all day and night, even after tears, sweat and smiles! I was very happy to find someone who was able to do makeup on Asian skin, and got my foundation shade on the first go! Thank you so much Zoe.

Zoe is just FAB!

I booked Zoe for my wedding and it was one of the best decisions I made! From the very first enquiry she was responsive throughout the planning and made me feel confident that I had booked the right person.
She did myself, my mum and two bridesmaids on the wedding day and everyone was so pleased with the results as she really listened to what everyone wanted. I felt a million dollars and got so many compliments, and the make up lasted all night - I couldn't believe how well it had stayed when we got the photos back and it was still there after hours on the dancefloor!
Zoe is extremely professional, very knowledgable and was a calming influence during the morning of the wedding. I would highly recommend and would love her to do my make up for a special occasion in the future!

Amazing make-up artist!

Zoe was absolutely amazing! I had never had my make up done before so had no idea what I wanted. At the trial I just asked her to do what she thought would look best and she did a great job. She then replicated this for the wedding and I absolutely loved it. I was so sad when I had to take it off in the evening. She also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids. One of them said they had never looked so nice in there life and another wants to book Zoe for their wedding! Zoe was professional, organised, got on well with everyone and is a very talented make up artist. So glad I booked her!
