Thank you, Kelly. I felt so, so beautiful on my wedding day and in all of my photos. My makeup was fantastic! To me, you are the best
— Bride Macha
I was so lucky to have Kelly do my makeup for my wedding and I can’t recommend her enough!

Kelly was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She listened so carefully to what I wanted and brought it to life perfectly—my makeup looked beautiful, felt amazing on my skin, and lasted all night. She took her time on the day, made me feel so special. I had complete trust in her and It truly felt like she was invested in making our day as perfect as possible!

Thank you so much for being a part of it! ‘
— Bride Sophie
If you’re looking for a makeup artist who will make you look and feel absolutely flawless on your wedding day, Kelly is the one! As a mature bride (over 45) with dry skin concerns and insecurities about how l’d look in close-up wedding photos, I was nervous, but Kelly was an absolute godsend. She was so much more than just a makeup artist —she was my cheerleader, calming presence, and organiser all rolled into one. In the lead-up to the wedding, Kelly gave me invaluable advice on skincare do’s and don’ts, recommended the best hair stylist and tanning salons, and even suggested beauty products that worked wonders for me. On the day, Kelly had the mammoth task of traveling 3 hours out of Sydney and doing makeup for me, my four bridesmaids, two flower girls, and my mum. She handled it all with such grace and professionalism. Everyone looked exquisite, and they couldn’t stop commenting on how light and comfortable the makeup felt. When I saw myself in the mirror, I was on the verge of tears—| have never felt so beautiful in my life. The makeup was flawless, perfectly suited to me, and lasted all night long. My advice? Book a trial and lock Kelly in early. You can trust her completely with your special day. She’s a true artist and a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!
— Bride Iris

— Bride Rebecca
I wanted to say a huge thanks to Kelly, the amazing person who did my makeup for my wedding. I have known you for a couple of years and I knew you wouldn’t disappoint. You know my face and what colour will look good on my lip.

You made me look very beautiful on my wedding day. You are also very professional, with time and manner. You also did my bridesmaids and my flower girls and special guest, all done beautifully.

I couldn’t be happier for what you’ve done for me on my big day. You are my hero!! For anyone looking for a MUA, I definitely recommend my girl Kelly!”
— Bride Yuke

  • Value having their makeup done by an artist with 20+ years’ experience and an editorial eye—someone who knows how to bring out their best features, not mask them.

  • Want to walk down the aisle feeling like the most beautiful, elevated version of themselves.

Not for Brides who…..

  • Are looking for mask like heavy, or dramatic contouring that hides their natural features.

  • Don’t see the value in investing in a bridal preview to perfect their look ahead of time.

  • Want a rushed, back-to-back service shared with multiple bridal parties on the same day.

  • Prefer a one-size-fits-all approach over personalised skin prep, tone-matching, and curated product selection.

Bridal love

From the moment I met Kelly, she was happy and bubbly, which immediately put me at ease. She is extremely talented and her attention to detail is so impressive. Kelly listened carefully to what I wanted and made sure that I was completely happy with every aspect of my makeup look. On my wedding day, Kelly truly exceeded my expectations. She expertly delivered the look I wanted while also ensuring that my makeup perfectly complimented my wedding dress. Her skills truly shone through in the end result, as my makeup was absolutely stunning and flawlessly stayed in place throughout the entire day and evening I am excited to share my experience with Kelly since I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Kelly did my make up and Frances did my hair for my wedding. They were both so so lovely and everything turned out perfect and exactly how I envisioned it. My make up was flawless and I don’t think I have ever felt so beautiful in my life!”

FAQ'S

Everything you need to know before securing your date with us.

1. How far in advance should I book my bridal hair and makeup?

We recommend booking 8–12 months in advance, especially during peak seasons. We only take one wedding per day, so once your date is secured, our full attention is on you.

2. What if Kelly isn’t available on my date?

If Kelly is already booked, we’ll offer one of our Senior Artists — Eliza or Sammy — who have been hand-selected and trained under Kelly’s direction. Your bridal experience remains consistent, curated, and elevated.

3. Can I customise a package or add extra guests?

Yes. All packages can be customised. You can add hair or makeup services for $260 per guest, or tailor the services to suit your specific needs. We're here to create a beauty plan that works for you. If we require extra artists / assistants for extra guests an additional fee will be added to your quote.

4. Do you offer bridal previews? Where are they held?

Absolutely. We offer 2-hour previews each for both hair and makeup. Makeup trials with Kelly are held at our Double Bay location. Hair or Makeup trials with other artists or your hair stylist can be held in the comfort of your home. This is where we fine-tune your bridal look and ensure you feel completely confident. Previews are $400 each and are included in each package option.

Do you travel to us on the wedding day?

Yes — we are a fully mobile team.

All packages include complimentary travel within 30 minutes of Double Bay (where we’re based). For locations beyond that, a travel fee of $1 per minute applies, calculated using the fastest route on GPS.

For weddings over 3 hours away, interstate, or destination bookings, we’re more than happy to travel! In these cases, overnight accommodation will be required so we can arrive fresh and fully prepared for your big day. Simply let us know your wedding location, and we’ll send you a custom travel and accommodation quote.

How long will hair and makeup take on the wedding day?

We’ll create a detailed morning schedule for you. Typically, we allow 1.25–1.5 hours for the bride, and 45–60 minutes per guest, depending on their hair and makeup requirements.

Do you offer touch-up services throughout the day?

Yes — we offer half-day and full-day artist touch-up packages, perfect if you'd like a second look or a personal artist on hand throughout your photos and celebrations. Just let us know during your enquiry.

Do I need to know my final numbers before I book?

We totally understand it can be hard to confirm final numbers so far in advance. You can secure your date with our minimum package ($1,200), and simply add extra guests later once your plans are confirmed!
