Hi, I’m Carlie
My background..
I began my journey working on counter for brands such as Benefit & Urban Decay. At UD I was a part of the makeup artist team within one of the flagship boutiques. Here, I took part in extensive training and I have since worked with many talented MUA’s, worked on multitude of skin tones, assisted makeup artists in the bridal industry & within commercial, continually enhancing my skills as a makeup artist.
After a successful stint as a producer at ASOS, I returned to my true passion for makeup in 2022, dedicating myself entirely to my business. I am also a proud winner of the Hitched Wedding Awards 2023 in the Beauty, Hair & Makeup category, recognised for excellence by newlyweds on Hitched.co.uk.
Not only do I cover Essex & Suffolk weddings, I love travelling so I am also available for destination weddings upon request.
It is so important to me that you feel comfortable & absolutely adore your wedding makeup. I am a calm, stress free artist who will ensure you walk down the aisle feeling your best self! I pride myself on being really organised, I will ensure you get down the aisle on time. You will treasure the memories from your wedding morning & by booking me as your makeup artist I will make your entire experience relaxed and enjoyable.
My Makeup Style..
I love glowy, natural makeup looks that compliment your natural beauty. I like to work with my brides to create a look that enhances what you have with a touch of glam. I am proud to be a cruelty-free makeup artist, and use some incredible luxury brands in my kit such as Charlotte Tilbury, Rare, Urban Decay, and Hourglass etc. I am always investing into new products to provide the very best for my brides. Vegan and mink-free lashes are also provided by myself to complete any look.
Hair Styling..
I have recently ventured into the hair styling world as an add on service to provide to my brides. My approach to hair styling is creating styles that pair well with my style of makeup. Think beachy, wavey, modern, soft styles. Nothing too done up, but still with a bridal spin on them. Click here to see more of my hair styling work.
