Bridal makeup artists
in Cheshire & Manchester

Four artists I recommend for beautiful makeup and a wedding morning that feels like you.

Your look, your way

Feel like yourself. At your most confident.

The right makeup artist listens to how you want to feel, whether that means barely-there makeup, soft glamour or a more defined look. A trial gives you time to explore the details before the wedding morning, and a clear plan helps everyone enjoy getting ready.

These are four artists I recommend for couples planning their wedding. Explore their individual styles below, starting with Lauren McCabe, and contact them directly to discuss availability and coverage.

Planning your wedding morning

A little preparation makes room to relax.

Share what feels like you: bring examples of makeup you love, explain your usual routine and talk about the finish you feel comfortable wearing.
Make the most of your trial: discuss your dress, hairstyle and accessories, and let your artist know about any sensitivities or products you prefer to avoid.
Agree the morning’s timings: confirm how many people need makeup, when everyone should be ready and whether another artist will be needed.
Leave time for photographs: build in space for getting dressed, final touches and a few relaxed portraits before you leave for the ceremony.
Check the booking details: ask about trials, travel, bridal party services, touch-ups and the payment schedule before booking.

Each artist sets their own prices and coverage. Confirm availability, services and travel arrangements directly with them.
