About

Last update: April 2025

Hi, I’m a professional makeup artist from Hong Kong with over 10 years of experience specialising in bridal makeup and hairstyling. I offer a seamless, all-in-one service for brides, from natural, character-enhancing makeup to elegant, personalised hairstyles.
I specialise in Asian (particularly Hong Kong and Chinese) bridal looks, understanding the unique facial features and using colour and contouring techniques to create the most balanced and flattering results — especially around the eyes. My style focuses on enhancing your natural beauty while making sure you still feel 100% like yourself on your big day.
Since moving to the UK, I’ve loved blending traditional Hong Kong techniques with modern Western styles. This fusion has been incredibly well-received, bringing a unique touch to brides who want something both timeless and distinctive.
I’m also passionate about incorporating floral elements into hair design — whether it’s fresh flowers or handcrafted arrangements — to add that romantic, delicate finish to your bridal look.
Let’s create something beautiful together.

Vanko.mua is a wedding makeup specialist based out Manchester, Greater Manchester.

Thank you so much to Vanko

Thank you so much to Vanko for the amazing makeup and hairstyling! The makeup and hairstyle turned out beautifully, with a natural yet polished look — not too heavy, but still elegant. What made me happiest was that all my friends complimented the look and said it really suited me, which gave me so much confidence for the day!

Very professional H&MUA!

Vanko was very professional in both my trial and on my wedding day - she was easy to work with and made sure any requests were considered. Extremely friendly and would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend Vanko for bridal makeup!

I didn’t get a chance to do a makeup trial, so I was a bit nervous before the pre-wedding photo shoot - but Vanko did such an amazing job with my makeup! It turned out even better than I hoped and was perfect for the pre-wedding photos. 🤍 She was also super flexible and stayed longer than planned on the day, which we really appreciated. Vanko was just great to have around - not just with makeup but also by helping out in so many little ways on the day. Can’t recommend enough to all bride-to-be near Manchester area. Thank you so much, Vanko!
