Choosing the right makeup artist for your wedding day is one of the most important beauty decisions you’ll make — it can truly shape how you feel from the moment you sit in the chair to the moment you walk down the aisle. It’s not just about makeup; it’s about trust, expertise, and the confidence that comes from knowing you're in the hands of someone who genuinely understands what this day means to you.

With over 12 years of experience in the makeup industry — including an extensive career at MAC Cosmetics, where I worked as both a senior artist and business manager — I bring a wealth of technical knowledge, creative skill, and industry insight to every bride I work with. During that time, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of faces, refining my ability to create looks that are tailored, timeless, and beautifully suited to each individual.

My bridal work is built on connection, calmness, and intention. From the first enquiry to the final touch on the day, I focus on creating a seamless, stress-free experience that allows you to fully enjoy the lead-up to your big moment. I use high-quality, long-wearing products and techniques that ensure your makeup not only looks flawless in person and in photographs — but lasts all day and night through every tear, hug, and happy dance.

As my business continues to grow, I’m excited to expand into destination weddings across Europe — with a strong focus on Greece, where I have personal roots and a deep love for the culture, scenery, and sense of celebration. Combining my passion for makeup with my love of travel feels like a natural next step, and I’m currently taking bookings for European weddings from 2025 onwards. Whether you’re planning a wedding on a Greek island, in a historic European city, or somewhere in between, I’m here to bring a professional, calming presence and the same level of artistry and care — wherever your special day takes you.
