Your wedding makeup shouldn’t feel like a disguise. It should feel like you, just a little more rested, radiant, and ready for every camera angle coming your way. The right makeup artist knows how to find that sweet spot between polished and personal. They listen, read the room, respect your comfort zone, and bring out what is already there rather than painting over it. From barely-there skin to softly defined glamour, we’ve curated 13 of the most sought-after makeup artists in the UK.
Sara Hill
Sara Hill’s work is all about luminous skin, soft polish, and makeup that looks expensive while still feeling natural. With a client list that includes Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Pixie Lott, and Nicola Coughlan, she brings a beauty-editor-approved eye to bridal glam. Think fresh glow, refined definition, and a look that still feels like you, only beautifully lit from every angle.
Brooke Lilias
Glowing skin and softly refined makeup sit at the heart of Brooke Lilias’s work, but no two brides are treated the same. Flattering, modern, and designed to wear beautifully throughout the day, Sse tailors every look to suit the person. Her warm, reassuring presence makes the process feel relaxed and luxurious, even when the wedding morning is moving at full speed.
Nencymakeup
Anastasia of Nencymakeup has built her career across celebrity beauty, advertising campaigns, music videos, television, and theater. That range is reflected in a portfolio that moves from fresh, natural makeup to bolder editorial looks, offering plenty of inspiration for brides drawn to a modern aesthetic. Anastasia's work feels especially suited to those who want beauty with a fashion point of view, whether that means softly polished skin, a defined eye, or something with a little more attitude.
Cassandra Lusi
Whether she's working on a wedding, an editorial, or a luxury campaign, Cassandra Lusi has a clear eye for radiant, skin-led beauty. Expect luminous complexions, soft definition, and timeless makeup that feels just as at home in close-up portraits as it does throughout the celebrations. Cassandra's beauty work is a strong fit for brides looking for polished glam with a fresh finish, the kind that enhances the whole look without stealing focus from the person wearing it.
Kholodova Makeup
Sasha Kholodova’s beauty world has a little more bite. Working professionally since 2018, she has built a portfolio that spans high-fashion editorials and celebrity red carpet moments, with looks that often lean confident, graphic, and refined. For brides who want their makeup to feel chic rather than sweet, Sasha is one to keep firmly on the radar.

Rosie Cerosio

Saskia Makeup
Saskia Ryan of Saskia Makeup spent six years with the Charlotte Tilbury team, sharpening her eye for clean beauty, flattering tones, and features that feel naturally lifted. Her work sits in that sweet spot between fresh-faced and finished, with skin that still looks like skin and just enough definition to make everything feel quietly pulled together. Today, Saskia is trusted by Jenna Ortega, Anya Taylor-Joy, and a growing roster of celebrity clients.
Andrada Rusu
Specializing in wedding and editorial hair and makeup, Andrada Rusu pairs technical know-how with the kind of intuition that can't really be taught — a sense for what each face, each story, is asking for. She works fluently across all skin tones and ages, with a finish built to last through tears, dancing, and everything in between, so the only thing left to do on the day is enjoy it.
Olivia Rose
Olivia Rose has spent years mastering the art of the personalized face. No two clients leave her chair looking like a version of someone else. Olivia's touch is subtle, enhancing rather than overriding, and it shows in finishes that hold up whether they’re caught on camera or candlelight. That range has made her a favorite well beyond beauty circles, with a client list spanning Adidas, Puma, Harris Reed and Suzanne Neville.
Gabriella Floyd
With a portfolio that stretches across fashion, editorial, music, and television, Gabriella Floyd has become known for beauty that feels clear-eyed, modern, and beautifully understated. Sabrina Carpenter, Girls Aloud, Jenna Coleman, Sigrid, and Jessie Ware are among the names who have sat in her chair, drawn to a style that favors glow over gloss and character over perfection.
Iryna Borysova
Iryna Borysova brings a flexible, intuitive approach to every face she works with. She can keep things fresh and romantic or turn up the drama with a more cinematic finish, always taking her cue from the person and the moment. From editorials to red carpets and campaigns, her work feels polished without ever becoming impersonal.
