Hey my lovely, I’m Jess!
Bridal makeup artist living in the seaside town Scarborough with my husband Jonathon and my little girl Martha.
Summer 2013 was the start of something magical… I took the plunge, used all my savings and began my amazing journey to become a bridal makeup artist.
Every weekend through the summer I would travel from North Yorkshire to Bath to learn new skills, equip my kit with staple makeup pieces and complete lessons and coaching with numerous renowned makeup artists at Bath Academy of Media Makeup. By Autumn I had a new found confidence and a bucket full of excitement to start my own bridal makeup business back home in North Yorkshire.
Now over ten years on, I have my dream bridal makeup kit that is full of luxury, mesmerising products, so many lovely words from beautiful brides and an exciting year ahead full of wonderful weddings!
My makeup training included fashion, beauty, and bridal however, through the many looks over the weeks of the course I always preferred creating natural makeup looks, I felt inspired and comfortable around them. Each artist I worked with commented on how this was my style… I pride myself and promote natural beauty with each of my brides.
Creating bespoke wedding makeup looks is what I love to do. I empower brides to look and feel the most authentic and beautiful version of themselves.
Women who never wear any makeup or very minimal on a day-to-day basis are a joy to work with, as I am able to amaze them with what makeup can do, how it can define and highlight their natural features.
Yet, working with other makeup artists and meeting women over the years I understand that makeup is also very significant to every individual and can enhance your personality.
Your bridal makeup look should reflect you, and encapture the best of you!
It’s not all about makeup though…
I am highly passionate about the beauty industry, especially skincare! I truly believe a good skincare routine creates the perfect base for makeup. I am a bit of a skincare addict, and love to try out and research products for myself, my kit and for you!
I offer a calming perspective specifically to acknowledge your ideas, desires, must-haves, and problems, to create timeless, naturally enhancing makeup that is not revolved around trends on social media.
Seeing a bride ready on her wedding day taking in her entire bridal look is such a beautiful moment… she has a glow and confidence that she will carry for the entire day!
I got married in December 2021, it was the most amazing day! Now I feel I can pass on so much more to my brides to ensure their day is just as perfect!
