Bridal Makeup Artist in Pretoria

Your wedding day is long. Makeup goes on in the morning and has to survive tears, hugs, heat, photos in harsh sunlight and dancing late into the night. My approach to bridal makeup is built around that reality: careful skin prep, a base that is matched and set properly, and finishing products chosen for staying power.

Every bride is different, so there is no template look. We talk about your dress, your venue, your photographer's style and how you want to feel, then design a look that still looks like you, just elevated. Whether you want soft glam, a classic timeless look or full glam, it will be made to last.

I strongly recommend a trial. Trials are done by me at my studio in Mooikloof, Pretoria (the exact address is sent when you book), on weekdays from Tuesday to Thursday, about four weeks before your wedding. It gives us time to perfect the look, test it in photos and make any changes calmly, without the pressure of the day.

I can do makeup for bridesmaids, moms and guests too, and hair can be added through a hairstylist from my team. When you request a quote, simply add the number of people who need makeup and hair, and describe the looks you have in mind.

On the wedding day I come to you. Travel is calculated from Mooikloof to your venue and back, and it is added to your quote automatically when you enter your venue in the booking form. I regularly work across Pretoria, Centurion and greater Gauteng.

For brides I build long-wear into every step. I often use the PHOERA JU Quillage Foundation for its full, soft-matte coverage, set with loose setting powder and the 24HR Waterproof Setting Spray. For lips that survive the toasts, the non-transfer matte lipstick. Read more in my bridal kit essentials.

Choose Wedding in the booking form, add the bride's services and your bridal party, and enter your venue. Your personalised quote is created instantly and sent to me on WhatsApp. Once I confirm availability, a 50% deposit secures your date. Dates are booked on a first-paid, first-served basis, so popular Saturdays go quickly. See my wedding makeup timeline for when to book.
