A face that
arrives before
you do.
Skin first, always. Photography-proof makeup for brides, editorial sets and the nights that get talked about — from a private studio and a team trained to do it under any light.

01 — Selected work
The portfolio
Aisles, covers, campaigns and after-parties. Every face here left the chair without a single touch-up in the gallery.
02 — Transformation
Same face.
Different weather.
No airbrush filter, no blur. Drag to see a bridal trial straight out of the chair — texture intact, features louder.

04 — The artist
Duchess
Nine years, four hundred brides, and one rule that never moves: the makeup answers to the face, never the other way round. Trained in editorial and raised on wedding-day timelines, I read skin before I open a palette.
The studio now runs with three additional artists, all trained in-house, so a party of ten leaves on schedule and looking like the same story — not the same face.

05 — Word of mouth
What they say after
“I cried twice and it did not move once. My photographer asked who did my skin.”
“Eleven of us, one bathroom, and she still ran ten minutes early. Unreal calm.”
“We book her for every campaign now. She lights the face before the lighting does.”
06 — Learn it
The masterclass
Two days, six students, one kit each. Skin theory, undertone matching across depths, and the bridal timeline that keeps a party of ten on schedule.

Before you
enquire
How far in advance should I book?
Six to twelve months for weddings in peak season. Editorial and event work can often be placed inside two weeks — ask.
Do you travel to the venue?
Yes. Local travel is included within 30 miles of the studio; destination work is quoted with flights and accommodation.
Is a trial required?
For brides, yes — it is where the face plan is written. For party members and event clients it is optional.
What products do you use?
A mixed pro kit built for depth range and long wear — airbrush and traditional, with sensitive-skin alternatives on hand.
Deposit and cancellations?
A 30% deposit holds the date and is non-refundable. Rescheduling once, more than 60 days out, is free.
