Newly Engaged in the North East? Here’s What to Know About Booking Your Bridal Makeup Artist
So, you’ve said yes (💍!) and now you’re starting to plan one of the biggest days of your life. If you're 2026 bride based in the North East — from Durham to Newcastle, Teesside to Northumberland — you're in one of the most beautiful regions to tie the knot. And when it comes to looking and feeling your best on the day? That’s where I come in.
I’m a bridal makeup artist based in the North East, and I work with modern brides who want to look effortlessly beautiful, feel confident, and actually enjoy the getting ready process — not stress over it.
Here’s everything you need to know if you're starting your search for the perfect bridal MUA:
1. It’s never “too early” to book your Bridal makeup artist
Dates for Bridal Makeup artists book up fast — especially during peak season (May to September). As soon as you’ve secured your venue or photographer, start reaching out to bridal and wedding makeup artists whose work you love. The earlier we chat, the more time we have to plan, trial, and get to know each other. You may find this blog post useful How to Choose Your Perfect Wedding Makeup Artist: 5 Tips for Your Big Day
2. Bridal makeup should still feel like you
You don’t have to wear heavy makeup to look flawless. My approach is about enhancing your natural features, using high-quality products, and creating a look that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Whether that’s a soft glam glow, natural skin-focused makeup, or something a little more elevated — we’ll tailor it to your vibe.
No templates. No pressure. Just you, elevated.
3. The North East is full of incredible Wedding venues — and I travel to all of them
Whether you’re getting ready in a country house or Castle in Northumberland, a chic city suite in Durham, or a converted barn in Teesdale — I bring the calm, the makeup kit, and the good vibes to wherever you are. I know the early morning hustle of wedding prep well, and my goal is to make that time feel chilled, supportive, and even a little fun.
Need recommendations for wedding hair, amazing photographers, or talented florists? I’ve got a network of trusted local wedding suppliers I love to work with.
4. Make your Wedding morning count
Your wedding morning sets the tone for your whole day. I don’t just do bridal makeup — I help create a calm, confident, feel-good space where you can breathe, laugh, and get excited for what’s ahead. (Bonus: you’ll look amazing in those getting-ready photos.)
5. Trials are key — but trust matters more
Your Bridal Makeup trial is our chance to collaborate. You bring the inspo, I bring the experience, and we find the perfect look together. I’ll ask questions about your dress, venue, timeline, and vision — it’s all part of making your bridal makeup fit your day, not just your face.
But most of all? I’m someone you’ll be spending your wedding morning with — so I want you to feel completely comfortable, supported, and heard. You can find out more about Wedding Makeup Trial runs here The Importance of a Pre-Wedding Makeup Trial: What to Expect and How to Prepare
