My signature style

Skin-like makeup. Modern bridal hair. Made to last.

My signature makeup is inspired by the fresh, softly bronzed beauty seen across Australian bridal artistry - luminous skin, flattering definition and carefully considered colour without anything feeling heavy or overdone.

Hair feels equally modern and effortless, from softly structured waves to romantic buns and refined, contemporary upstyles.

Having trained and worked in temperatures reaching 40 degrees, longevity has always been part of my technique. Your hair and makeup are designed to withstand happy tears, photographs, embraces, warm rooms and hours on the dance floor.

Bridal experiences

A complete bridal beauty experience, without the complication

Your hair and makeup should feel like one beautifully considered look.

With both services provided by one experienced artist, you have one point of contact, one carefully planned schedule and one calm presence with you throughout the morning.

For smaller bridal parties, this can also remove the need to meet separate minimum bookings for hair and makeup.

The Intimate Bridal Experience

€500

Private, bride-only hair and makeup experience

Created for the bride who wants a slower, more personal wedding morning with dedicated time and support.

This is an exclusive bride-only package. Services for mothers, bridesmaids or other guests are booked through the Custom Bridal Party package.

Custom Bridal Party

From €550

Four-service minimum

For smaller or mixed bridal-party bookings requiring any combination of hair and makeup.

Example: bridal hair and makeup plus hair and makeup for the mother of the bride equals four services and costs €550.

The Signature Bridal Makeup Experience

€650

Bride plus four guests

Additional makeup applications may be added for €100 per person, subject to timing and availability.

The Complete Bridal Experience

€750

Bride plus two guests, hair and makeup

Additional hair or makeup services may be added for €100 per service, subject to timing and availability.

A more personal way to prepare

One artist. Both services. One beautifully calm morning.

Finding separate bridal hair and makeup artists can mean two minimum bookings, two contracts, two travel charges and two people to coordinate.

Because I specialise in both bridal hair and makeup, a smaller bridal party can book everything through one artist. Two people having hair and makeup creates four services - with one booking, one carefully planned timeline and one travel charge.

You do not have to book both. If your morning only needs hair or only needs makeup, that is perfectly welcome too - there is simply a minimum of four services per booking, which might be four people having one service each or two people having both.

It is a more personal, beautifully coordinated experience, with every detail of your complete look considered together.

Perfect for bride-only bookings, intimate bridal parties, elopements and destination weddings.

“I've never felt more beautiful.”

Evelyn was professional, warm and truly listened to the vision I had. My hair and makeup lasted beautifully through tears, laughter and dancing, while still feeling completely like me.
