Bridal Makeup

My approach to wedding makeup is simple: it is about finding the best look for each person to ensure they feel beautiful and confident on their special day. My style of makeup is soft and natural yet defined and glamorous. Many brides have been thrilled with my skills and have kindly recommended me to friends and families.I think that the makeup trial is a very important part of the process and I like to spend time really listening to each bride to find out their personal style and taste.

‘It’s about enhancing your individual looks to find the perfect version of you’ 

On your wedding morning I travel to wherever you are getting ready and I try to blend in seamlessly to help calm any frayed nerves and help things to run smoothly so that you will really enjoy your preparations before you say ‘I do’!

Testimonials

'Ellie was a total angel on the day. I had only done one test with her a few months before and she had me wrapped within minutes. She was very calming on the day and I have never been happier with how I've looked. If only I could see her more often. Absolute genius! Everyone commented, as they usually do, on your wedding day, on how I looked but I had so many compliments on how wonderful and natural my make up was. So many people don't look like themselves on their wedding day and I'm happy to say I just looked like a better version of my normal self.'

  Thank you so much Ellie for your wonderful makeup on my wedding day. Your cool head kept us all calm and the makeup was perfect, I’ve never looked as good as I did that day. I’ll be recommending you to all my friends. Jennifer.

  
  

• Thanks Ellie for the fantastic makeup which you did for me on my wedding day. After you had done the make up for me as a bridesmaid for my sister’s wedding my only worry was that you wouldn’t be free for my own big day! Thankfully you were. Not only did you make my makeup look natural (but still special) and it lasted all day, but you also kept me so calm in those nervy hours before the church. I just wish my makeup could look that good every time I was going out. Thanks so much. Gillian.

  
  

• My day would not have been the same without Ellie……her professionalism, generosity and sheer brilliance and attention to detail was outstanding. Ellie made me feel like a princess and was such an added pleasure to have around with all my family on the morning of my wedding. Ellie was an unbelievable calming influence on us all….god knows what could have happened if she wasn’t there!! Rebecca.

  
  

• I couldn't recommend Ellie Balfe highly enough. She did the make up for my wedding recently. She was simply fantastic, taking time to truly listen to what I wanted and producing a look we (myself and the bridesmaids) were all really happy with. Ellie is a true professional and also has a wonderful personality which helps calm any nerves you may have on the day. Pamela.
