Bridal Makeup

Okay, so you've booked the wedding, and you now need a makeup artist who will make you feel like a million dollars (and perhaps ten years younger) on the day.

Well, you've come to the right place. This was me two years ago—remarrying at 59, and I wanted to look gorgeous. As a mature bride myself and with a wealth of information about how to look after your skin, I can help you look and feel amazing on your special day and how to keep looking stunning when the last confetti petal falls.

I can help you look after your skin in preparation for the big day and give you the perfect look, whether soft glam, dramatic, or natural—the choice is yours.

I specialise in mature skin but am experienced in all types of skincare, including problem skin, and can help you perfect your skin in preparation for the big day.

Wedding Trial

A one-hour trial will be held where we discuss and try the look you would like to have on the wedding day with the colours, flowers, and theme of the wedding so that your dream can come true.

On the Day

I come to your venue or dressing room and work to your timings alongside your hairdresser to create your perfect looks to make you feel amazing. I can keep calm during a crisis, so I can help you enjoy every minute of your special day. I can even stay with you until you leave for your wedding.

I offer Mother of the Bride/Groom and bridesmaid makeup.

Bridal Packages Available.

Occasion Makeup and Photoshoots

Whether you're off to the races, a friend's birthday party, or a photoshoot, you don't have to be a celebrity to look fabulous—we'll work with the outfit you have chosen to create the perfect look and help you feel amazing. Makeup trials are available on request.

Makeup Lessons

With fast-moving fashion trends and makeup, I can help you achieve a look that enhances your natural features or gives you that WOW factor for special occasions. My role is to give you techniques and inspire confidence so that you can create your favourite looks.

You tell me what look you would like to create, and we go through the makeover experience together.

This 90-minute lesson includes step-by-step guidance on eyebrows, using eyeliner, eyes, matching foundation, contouring, and lips.

The lesson includes a brush set or a 20% voucher on the day.

Make up trial

Had a lovely experience with Venetia getting my trial makeup done.
Firstly she was very accommodating with dates. Once I arrived she explained everything to me and because I didn’t have a style in mind I let her run with it.
She did a fabulous job, I loved how dramatic the eyes were and the glowy final look.
She ended up mixing a lot of colours to get the perfect lip.
Was no bother if I needed anything changed and made sure I was happy throughout.
At the end she gave me a card with all the product details that she used on me.
I had this done in the morning and the makeup lasted the whole day.
Fabulous MUA would highly recommend.

Personable and professional with a great eye for bringing your vision to life

I had the pleasure of working with Venetia while looking for a make-up artist, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease from the very first message.

Venetia is warm, personable, and truly listens. From our initial communication to the in-person consultation, I felt completely comfortable. She took the time to understand the kind of makeup I usually wear and the type of look I would feel comfortable with. After building that look for me, she then gently encouraged me to explore colours and combinations that I might not normally try. I'm so glad she did!

The whole experience felt calm, considered, and collaborative. Her gentle touch and professional manner made the session really enjoyable. I left not only feeling confident and glowing but also inspired to add a few new shades and techniques into my own routine. I got so many compliments on the day!

I can’t recommend Venetia enough. I’m genuinely so grateful for the time she took, the thoughtful touches throughout, and the confidence I walked away with.

Personal attention, perfect!

Great interaction at start asking for what look I wanted for that special day, a wedding day as mum. Told me what was being done throughout, allowing me to feel relaxed and enjoy practicing for the day ahead, very important.

Venetia did such a wonderful job with my bridal make up, it lasted all day and I didn't want to take it off! She really listened to what I wanted and adjusted the example to suit my skin tone.

Highly recommend!

The whole experience was very high quality, I felt like a princess. Venetia explained the purpose of the products as she used them and discussed and advised me with the right colours taking into consideration what I planned to wear and how I was going to have my hair. The end result exceeded my expectations and I just couldn’t stop looking in the mirror, I wanted to bump into everyone I knew that night because I felt so confident and beautiful. I would highly recommend.

Trial make up

I loved having my make up done professionally by Venetia. She made me feel comfortable and asked me about my skincare routine and inquired about any issues that I had been having. Venetia listened carefully to my concerns regarding my sensitive skin and previous eczema break outs. Venetia was careful in her choices of skin care products and the make up that she used. I liked the colours that she chose which complemented my features. Venetia explained what techniques she was using to enhance my skin type and my age.

I couldn’t recommend Venetia enough

I had the pleasure of working with Venetia yesterday for a face makeover ahead of a branding photoshoot, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Venetia put me at ease with her friendly and professional approach. She came to my chosen location at the Harbour Hotel in Guildford, which made everything so convenient and stress-free.

What really stood out was how attentive Venetia was throughout the process. She checked in with me every step of the way to make sure I was happy with the look she was creating. I loved how she explained each product, including their benefits, without being pushy or overwhelming—it felt more like a collaboration than a service, which I truly appreciated.

I was initially nervous about the makeover, but Venetia’s expertise and calm demeanour gave me so much confidence. The final look was exactly what I had hoped for—natural, elegant, and perfect for the photoshoot. She achieved a beautiful shimmery glow that made my face look vibrant and camera-ready. I was especially impressed by her blending techniques, which gave a soft and polished finish.

Venetia’s patience was incredible, especially since I can be quite critical and particular. She didn’t rush me, instead making sure everything was tailored to my preferences. And as a cherry on top, she gifted me a bag of lovely goodies, which was such a thoughtful touch and left me feeling so pampered.

If you’re looking for someone who really listens, has a great eye for detail, and knows how to bring out your natural beauty, I couldn’t recommend Venetia enough. She has a fantastic talent for making you feel special and confident, no matter how nervous you might be!

Professional and knowledgable

Venetia has a really calm presence and is clearly very enthusiastic and knowledgable about all things make up and skincare. She took the time to understand my preferred look and what I was hoping to achieve while offering some good advice and ideas. I ended up going with quite a bold look which I loved. I would thoroughly recommend Venetia.

Thank you Venetia!

Venetia was simply the best. She came with some amazing on trend makeup looks that she wanted to try out for her portfolio which was super refreshing.

I love that she explains every step of her process - this is super important for clients who perhaps aren’t familiar with makeup products or what you use for what etc

I came away with a gorgeous dramatic purple eye which she meticulously put together.

I particularly loved the lip scrub and treatment - really nice touch.

Thanks again Venetia - 10/10 xx

Makeover with Venetia

Venetia did a makeover for me a few months ago. It was a great experience from start to finish. After discussing my make up regime she picked out some products that she thought would suit me. I enjoyed the experience and bought some of the products which I love and use all the time. I had lots of really nice comments after the makeover was finished. Thank you.
