Wedding Make-Up
...Helping You to Look Flawless & Feel Fabulous on Your Wedding Day
It is such a privilege to be asked to do someone’s makeup for one of the biggest days of their life. My goal is to take the pressure off by offering a friendly, professional service where I come to you - so you can relax, enjoy time with your bridal party, and focus on the day ahead.
Having been a bride myself, I truly understand how important it is to find the right wedding makeup artist and perfect bridal look. Your makeup (and hair) will be the most photographed part of your day, so it’s essential that you feel confident, radiant, and flawless both on camera and in person. With years of experience and a kit full of top-tier products, I create beautifully elegant, timeless bridal looks that last from morning through to dancing the night away. Leaving you to spend more time with your new husband and guests!
Even if you're confident doing your own makeup for a night out, nerves on the morning of your wedding can take over. That’s where I step in - so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy being pampered on your wedding day!
I offer a personal, bespoke bridal makeup service, working closely with you to bring your dream look to life - one that reflects your individual style and complements every detail of your special day. My signature bridal makeup style is all about enhancing your natural beauty and playing to your best features, so you still look like you - just at your most beautiful.
With years of experience working with brides across the full spectrum of makeup preferences - from those who rarely if ever wear makeup to those who love full glam - I tailor each bridal makeup look to suit your comfort level and unique features. Whether you’re after a soft natural bridal look, understated glam, classic elegance, vintage flair, or something more polished and glamorous, every bridal look is thoughtfully customised just for you. No two brides are the same, so no two makeup looks should be either. Your bridal makeup should be as individual as you are. You should feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself - just the most beautifully enhanced version, as you walk down the aisle.
My bridal style centres on fresh, modern, elegant makeup that enhances rather than masks. It should feel timeless, weightless, and unmistakably you.
My professional makeup kit is carefully curated with high-performance products that cater to all skin tones and ethnicities. From fair to deep complexions and everything in between, you’ll receive a flawless, long-lasting makeup experience designed to help you look - and feel - incredible on your big day, from morning to night.
My editorial bridal work has featured in the Scottish Wedding Directory magazine and blog, as well as some of my lovely brides in their Real Weddings magazine. Sadly, due to Covid-19, the Scottish Wedding Directory closed its doors and is no more. However, luckily some of these features are listed in my Press & Publications page for you to have a wee look through.
The Trial
A bridal trial is highly recommended, giving us the opportunity to meet and to have an in-depth consultation to help achieve the perfect look. And normally held 6-12 weeks before your wedding day. For anyone unable to attend in advance of the wedding, it could be held just before the wedding date if necessary. A bridal trial normally takes 1.5-2 hours.
Bridal party trials (1-1.5 hours each) are also available to ensure they look flawless and feel fabulous with professional makeup.
Virtual trials are available for those unable to attend in person.

The Wedding Day
On your wedding day, I’ll travel to your chosen venue at our agreed time, ensuring you can relax and soak in the excitement. With a keen understanding of wedding logistics, I work seamlessly with other professionals.
Depending on the bride’s preference, I typically start with the bridal party, giving her time to relax and enjoy the morning. I am happy to stay until you are all ready to leave, offering last-minute touch-ups so you all look flawless and feel fabulous for the big day ahead.
I also offer a full day/evening look service, which includes make-up touch-ups throughout the day and a different make-up look for the evening if so desired.
If you are also looking for a mobile wedding hair service, where they can also come out to your home or venue of your choosing – please contact me for further details.

Getting married abroad or far away from home?

Then I am very happy to provide a bridal tutorial. I offer both 1 to 1 makeup tutorials for the bride, and group makeup tutorials with her bridal party - which makes for a fun girlie morning or afternoon.

Beauty & Make-Up Service
To help my brides achieve that perfect, flawless look for their wedding day (and beyond!), I would recommend the fantastic Zest Skin Spa to offer our clients a holistic service of beauty treatments and make-up. Having healthy skin is important in general, plus it acts as a base for the make-up, which is another good reason to look after it, as it really does help provide that flawless look.
Not only are Zest Skin Spa's treatments fabulous, but so are their staff – a great team of people who are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and have a real passion for what they do.
Wedding Gift
Wedding parties and guests sometimes like to give the bride a special wedding gift of a voucher for their bridal make-up, leaving them to then relax on their big day. If this is something that you are interested in, please do not hesitate to get in touch, as I provide gift certificates of any denomination.
Bookings
If you’d like to enquire or request a personalised, no-obligation quote, simply get in touch via m Contact page.
I’d love to hear all about your plans and chat through how I can help bring your bridal makeup vision to life. It’s such a special day - and it would be an honour to be part of it.

‘Choosing Colette’s VIP Wedding Package for my wedding day was pure magic!
I booked it for me, my mum (mother of the bride) and three bridesmaids – so Colette had her hands full!
As a bride, I wanted to feel radiant, relaxed, and utterly pampered, and Colette delivered everything a bride needs, and so much more than I was expecting! This was the ultimate luxury wedding makeup experience, packed with thoughtful touches that made my day unforgettable.
The package included a skincare prep session and a touch-up kit for the evening - details I didn’t even know I needed! But what blew me away were the extra pampering touches, along with personalised consultations that felt like chatting with a friend. Colette even catered for two of my bridesmaids who live abroad – one in Australia! And had virtual consultations with them, which was so accommodating and helpful. They really enjoyed them and found them beneficial when being so far away.
Like so many of the other reviews I had read, I also found Colette’s calm, professional vibe put me at ease straightaway. And her absolute attention to detail ensured all our makeups looked flawless without feeling (or looking!) heavy. The package included every detail thoughtfully curated to make us feel like royalty and a VIP for the day!
We all walked down the aisle with such a confidence boost, feeling our absolute best. This package really is a must for brides wanting a high-end, all-inclusive experience, for them and their wedding party.
Book your wedding makeup with Colette - you won’t regret it!
Thank you for making us shine, Colette!’ Kamila Zieliński
'Colette is wonderful! I was very worried about my wedding make-up as, 1) I don't wear much make-up normally and 2) I get very oily skin! I needn't have worried though, as Colette listened to what I wanted and carried that out perfectly. My make-up was natural yet stunning and my skin stayed oil and shine free all day! I highly recommend Colette.' Jill Leckie
'Colette is superb at what she does, as well as making you feel comfortable. She did my wedding makeup as well as that of my bridesmaids and mum. We all got lots of compliments!
Colette is full of information and helpful tips, and the way I'll do my makeup since meeting her is all the better for it. She's incredibly patient and friendly - nothing seemed like a hassle..
Between the lot of us there was a range of skin tones and types and Colette made a stellar job with us all. Thank you so much!' Nicole Brannigan
