About

Hello, I'm Evelyn

I'm an award-winning bridal hair and makeup artist with 11 years of experience, based in Adamstown, County Wexford and travelling across Ireland and to selected European destinations.

My years working in Australia shaped the way I approach bridal beauty: radiant, skin-focused makeup and modern hair that looks effortless while being built to last through heat, weather and a very long, very happy day.

How I work

I take the time to understand what you love, what you don't, and how you normally feel most like yourself. Your inspiration is then adapted to your features, hair, dress and wedding setting, rather than copied.

Alongside creating your look, I plan the morning carefully. Realistic timings, individual appointment times for everyone and clear preparation guidance mean no one feels rushed.

I stay for your final checks, help with your veil or hair accessories and make sure everything is sitting beautifully once you are dressed.

You'll feel most at home with me if

  • You want radiant, skin-like makeup rather than a heavy, full-coverage finish.
  • You love soft, modern bridal hair with movement and texture.
  • You'd like one artist creating both your hair and makeup where possible.
  • You value a calm, well-planned wedding morning as much as the finished look.
  • You're marrying in Ireland or planning a European destination wedding.
  • You want to look like the most polished version of yourself, not someone else.
