If you’re envisioning an elopement in Northern Ireland, get ready for an extraordinary experience! Picture wild coastlines, ancient castles and breath-taking mountains as the backdrop for your romantic vows. As a leading bridal makeup artist in Northern Ireland, I’m dedicated to making you look and feel the best enhanced version of yourself on your wedding day.


Elopements are intimate moments full of emotion. Whether you're exchanging vows on the windswept cliffs of the Causeway Coast or in a beautiful castle off the lovely Lough Erne, you need a makeup artist who truly understands the significance of these moments. That’s where I come in!


Luxury Bridal Makeup for Your Northern Ireland Elopement


With years of experience in the wedding industry comes my signature timeless style, ensuring you look incredible from every angle. I use top-tier products that can withstand the unpredictable climate of Northern Ireland, so your makeup stays fresh through winds, mist and tears of joy, no matter the elements.

Let's be honest, you never know what the weather will throw at you in Northern Ireland! According to Irish folk stories, a wet wedding day is good luck because it creates a tighter knot (think hand-fasting) when you 'tie the knot' literally!


What I Offer


My top priority is creating a personal and relaxed experience. Getting ready should be just as enjoyable as the ceremony. My calm demeanour and positive energy will set the tone on your special day. If you wish, I can stay until you leave for the ceremony or I can leave before you get dressed.


Planning an elopement involves a lot of details, which is why I offer an online consultation before your big day. This is great opportunity to get to know each other and for me to understand your style preferences and the vision you have for your bridal look.

Your bridal makeup will be customised to suit your unique beauty. Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic look, I’ll work closely with you to create a masterpiece that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. I allow plenty of time on the wedding day to talk through some things will you as I go.


In addition to makeup services, I can also offer some wedding planning support and help plan your post-ceremony tourist adventures if you want to spend some time in our wee country. If you need honeymoon ideas, I’m familiar with charming spots like the historic Dunluce Castle but there are countless hidden gems to explore in Northern Ireland and Ireland too.


Why Choose Me?


I am not just any makeup artist; I am one of the best bridal makeup artists in Northern Ireland. My brides appreciate not only the final look but the entire experience. With my keen attention to detail and friendly approach, you will feel relaxed and pampered…don’t take my word for it, have a look at the Google reviews from my brides.


I take pride in forging meaningful connections with my clients, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident. I understand the emotional weight of your wedding day and strive to make sure you look and feel fabulous.

Having worked with numerous couples who have eloped in Northern Ireland, I have honed the ability to adapt to each bride's individual needs. Your love story is distinct, and I want every detail of your makeup to reflect that.


Preparing for Your Elopement


When you plan your elopement, reflect on the locations that resonate with you both. Northern Ireland boasts diverse settings. You can’t beat the stunning coastline but equally Belle Isle Castle is a personal favourite.


Creating a list of favourite sites may help. From there, we can discuss how these locations will influence your makeup choices. For example, cliffs may require more durable makeup due to wind, while a castle setting might suit a soft princess look.

Embrace the spontaneity of your journey! Some of the best moments arise from unexpected adventures, so leave some time to explore. Savour each breathtaking sight, from rocky shores to peaceful woodlands.


On Your Big Day


On your elopement day, we’ll start early so that you can enjoy the process without feeling rushed. Expect a peaceful session creating beautiful makeup that enhances your features. After our time together, you’ll step into your ceremony radiating confidence.


Don't forget to document your day. Photography is crucial, especially in Northern Ireland, where backdrops are stunning. I will ensure your makeup looks impeccable in each image, making you look extraordinary against the natural beauty of cliffs, castles and woods.
