ABOUT ME
​
For the past 5 years, I've been lucky enough to glam hundreds of gorgeous brides. Making someone look & feel their most beautiful, on the biggest day of their life, is a feeling like no other. I've truly found my passion & purpose and I absolutely LOVE it.
​
My love for makeup goes back as far as I can remember. Britney Spears' silver sparkly eyeshadow & faux beauty spot in the Lucky music video used to mesmerize me. Thanks for the inspo, Brit!
​
I got my start in the makeup industry working on a Clarins counter, I then moved on to Urban Decay, before deciding to take a leap of faith & become a full-time freelance Makeup Artist. At first, I was mostly doing night out glams - working out of my mum's conservatory! Gradually more & more brides started booking me for their wedding days. This was purely through word of mouth and recommendations from my incredible clients. Now, I pretty much do bridal exclusively! Taking on around 70-100 weddings a year at the many beautiful venues Essex & Suffolk have to offer.
​
On the wedding day, my aim is to just feel like one of your friends helping you get ready. People always ask me to tell Bridezilla stories & I really don't have any! I think this is because my brides always tend to feel comfortable and relaxed around me. Well, that is my hope anyway.
​
Style wise - I'd say I lean more towards the natural, soft, makeup, but I also love a full glam moment. I have a real obsession with making the skin look completely flawless, but still natural, glowing & radiant.
​
So, if you're a bride to be & looking for your Wedding Day MUA, please feel free to send me an enquiry or just drop me a message on Instagram. I'm very chilled out and love a good chat!

Can't wait to hear from you,
Marilyn xo
