'You, beautifully enhanced'

Professional hair and makeup artist for

bridal, fashion, commercial and creative work

Artistry with an Educator's Eye

With over six years of professional experience and almost five years lecturing in specialist makeup techniques, I bring a thoughtful, personalised approach to every face I work with.

 

My experience spans bridal, fashion, commercial production, creative artistry and live beauty events — combining technical expertise with an instinctive understanding of what makes someone feel confident in their makeup.

 

Whether I'm creating a bridal look, preparing a model for camera or working with a brand, my approach remains the same:

'Understand the brief. Understand the person. Make every detail count'.

Bridal

Natural. Soft Focus. Completely you.

Bridal beauty designed to enhance rather than transform.


From your first consultation and trial to the moment you walk down the aisle, every detail is personalised to you — your features, your personal style, your dress, your surroundings and 
how you want to feel on the day.


My signature bridal style is soft, polished and naturally refined.
 

You, beautifully enhanced

Beyond Bridal

Makeup with a Professional Eye
My work extends beyond bridal.

Alongside weddings, I work across fashion, e-commerce, commercial production, live beauty events and creative projects.

I've worked on photoshoots and on-set productions requiring hair and makeup, changes and touch-ups throughout the day, as well as creative and editorial projects published across a range of magazines.

This breadth of experience allows me to understand makeup from more than one perspective —from the intimacy of a bridal morning to the precision required on camera.

The Educator

The Educator behind the Artist

Alongside my freelance career, I lecture in Specialist and Media Makeup Techniques and will be entering my fifth year of teaching in September.


Teaching has developed my understanding of makeup beyond simply creating a beautiful look.


It has strengthened my knowledge of facial structure, colour, texture, balance, product performance and professional technique — and taught me how to look at the smallest details.
I bring that same attention to detail into every bridal application.

 

Expertise you can see. Detail you can feel.

Testimonial

Sophie is the absolute best!

 

I looked at countless MUAs for my wedding day but as soon as I came across Sophie I knew she was the one. She is insanely talented and so easy to get along with. Sophie perfectly executed my brief of ‘me but better’ by enhancing my natural features to make sure I looked stunning but bridal.

 

Sophie was great fun but so professional, getting through all 8 of us flawlessly without a break or cup of tea. In fact I don’t think she ever even went to pee!

 

An incredible artist and wonderful person that I can’t recommend enough.

 

Thank you so much Sophie xxx
