First Class Service
Kirsty is very organised as well as pleasant, flexible and approachable. Nothing is too much trouble. I would not hesitate to recommend her to create make up for your special occasion.
Kirsty created a beautiful mother of the bride look for me. It was subtle, soft and elegant. Very flattering. She is a good listener and will offer suggestions if you aren't sure of the type of make that will suit you, a bonus if you don't usually wear much make up like me. The make up she uses is of premium quality, all well known brands. She is also very knowledgeable about skin care and the type of products that will help your skin look its best.

Hi, I'm Kirsty, the face behind Skin & Veil Bridal Makeup.
I've been working as a freelance, professional makeup artist across Chester, Cheshire, Wirral, the North West and North Wales since 2014, helping women feel confident, comfortable & like the very best version of themselves for life's most important moments. After taking time away from the industry to focus on my fertility journey and raising my little boy, I'm incredibly excited to be returning to the work I love in 2026 - with a renewed appreciation for just how meaningful these milestones really are.
Over the years, my approach has evolved beyond makeup alone. As an accredited facialist and facial massage specialist, I've developed a deep understanding of skin and the role it plays in creating beautiful, long-lasting makeup. It's why skin preparation sits at the heart of every service I offer. Healthy, well-cared-for skin doesn't just help makeup look better - it helps you feel more confident in it too.
I'm a fully qualified, accredited and insured makeup artist, as well as a proud member of the Guild of Beauty Therapists. But beyond the credentials, what matters most to me is creating an experience that feels calm, personal, and genuinely enjoyable from beginning to end.
Having been a bride myself recently - and somehow managing to fit in three wedding celebrations along the way - I understand both the excitement and the emotion that comes with planning a wedding. I know how important it is to feel looked after, listened to & completely comfortable on the morning of your wedding.
Whether you're someone who loves makeup or rarely wears it at all, my goal is always the same: to create radiant, timeless makeup that feels like you, while bringing a sense of calm and reassurance to one of the most memorable mornings of your life.
