Your skin, perfected. Your features, celebrated. Never a mask.

Bridal review
In Ellie's words

“She was put on this earth to do makeup.”

— Ellie Costello

Ellie first sat in my chair four years ago. Since then I have done her makeup for events, nights out and, finally, her wedding day. Hearing her talk about it like this honestly made my year.

The bridal experience

From first call to first dance

i.

Your call

A relaxed conversation about your date, your dress, your bridal party and the feeling you want on the day. Start with an enquiry or message me.

ii.

The bridal trial

We create your look together, either in the salon or in the comfort of your own home, then refine every detail and see it in daylight, so the morning holds no surprises.

iii.

The wedding morning

I arrive wherever you are getting ready and work to a timeline built around your photographer, so everyone is ready with time to breathe.

iv.

Flawless until the last dance

Long-wear skin preparation and setting, and a touch-up kit with your lip colour, so the final photograph looks just like the first.

Meet Millie

Calm hands on a busy morning

I'm Millie-Mae, a luxury bridal makeup artist working across Essex, London and Kent, and travelling for destination weddings. My signature is skin that looks like the very best version of yours: radiant, refined and beautiful up close, in candlelight and on camera.

I learned my craft behind the counters of London's most prestigious beauty halls, working across luxury brands in high-end retail. Years of creating looks for every skin tone, age and occasion taught me how to read a face, choose the perfect formula and make every woman in my chair feel looked after. That experience, and that care, comes with me to every wedding morning.

Many of my brides first came to me for events, and I love that. By the wedding morning we already know each other, and my chair becomes the calmest place in the room.
