I am a luxury wedding makeup artist and I specialise in bridal skin preparation for your wedding day.

Hey! I’m Gemma I'm a bridal makeup artist of 12+years based in Chester/Cheshire working across the Northwest and afar. My love for makeup started at an early age and landing my dream job at the time working for MAC cosmetics where I gained extensive experience in customer service and the importance of good communication skills. Whilst still building up my Bridal clients and makeup kit after 7 years working for mac I took the leap and went completely self employed. I use luxury wedding makeup.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of being a bridal makeup artist is the opportunity to build enduring relationships with my clients.

Get to know me better

Witnessing the transformation of a nervous bride into a confident woman, radiating joy and happiness, is a privilege I cherish.

From the initial inquiry email to the final touches on the wedding day, I collaborate closely with brides, listening to their needs and envisioning their dream look. This journey allows me to connect on a personal level, creating a bond that extends beyond the wedding preparations. VIEW INVESTMENT ⇾

  • This is something that I feel is so important on the morning of a wedding. Your wedding morning should be stress free, fun and relaxed. That’s why makeup artists set out a schedule for the wedding morning so that all involved know what’s happening and that someone is always in the chair. 

    Generally, if we set a time for 8am that means I will arrive at 7:45am and get set up to be ready to go at 8am.  As a rule makeup generally takes anywhere from 30-50 mins with the bride generally 60 minutes.

Bridal Skin Consultations

As part of your wedding make up package I also offer a skin consultation in the run up to your big day.

Whether you’re looking to address specific concerns or simply want to enhance your skin for the big day I’m on hand to provide personalised recommendations. My philosophy for healthy skin is being consistent with a simple, daily home-care routine. The biggest changes happen when you are using effective products with ingredients suited to your skin's needs.

Save yourself time and money, ditch the 10 step routine and find out how to take care of your skin long term by booking in for your complimentary skin consultation.

    Highly highly recommend Gemma for your wedding party makeup! For someone that doesn’t wear makeup, I absolutely loved it! We did a natural, minimal look but had amazing coverage all day, just perfect! Gemma also did a lash lift for me the week before the wedding which worked perfectly alongside the wedding day minimal makeup look. My bridesmaids, mum and nan all had theirs done too and again were over the moon with it ☺️ Gemma really is amazing at what she does and was a delight to have with us the morning of the wedding, thank you so much again Gemma 💖✨

  • Emma Colborne

    Gemma did my bridal make up the other week and I am still obsessed with it!! We had 4 bridesmaids and a mother of the bride as well and Gemma’s skill, timing and attention to detail was impeccable! I had two facials with Gemma in the run up to the wedding as well and I had so many compliments about how amazing my make up was and lasted all day - and well into the night!! I will definitely use Gemma again for special occasion make up and absolutely recommend☺️ thank you so much❤️

  • Gemma Smith Rose

    What can I say… Gemma is truly amazing at what she does. Gemma did makeup for myself, my 3 bridesmaids, my Mum and my Mother in Law. She was kind and went the extra mile to make sure we were all happy with our looks. My makeup lasted all day and I had so many compliments. It really does take skill to ensure the makeup looks equally perfect in person as it does on photos. You made me feel and look a million dollars and I will be eternally grateful. Thank you again, with love, Gemma ❤️
