MAKE-UP ARTISTS

I am a fully qualified makeup artist having trained at the famous School of Makeup in Stockport. I consider myself truly privileged to work with women everyday to create a look which makes them feel the perfect version of themselves.

Whether you are getting married or attending a special event, I would love to work with you to create your dream look.

I trained straight after A-Levels to be a Theatrical and Media Makeup artist, with the course also covering wig making, hairdressing and Beauty qualifications. I have always used these qualifications as this is my passion, doing many theatrical shows, face painting, hair and wedding makeup, alongside a full time job as a Chartered Accountant. Then the time came to re-focus myself back towards my passion, my makeup. I refreshed my skills at London School of Makeup, and then Izabelle Hammon, two top professional establishments.

Personally, I like to enhance and not hide my clients natural beauty, and to make them feel pampered and special.
​
My desire is to help everyone enjoy makeup, and their nails, and to not be afraid of taking an hour or two out of their busy schedules to have a pamper before a day or evening out. I love to make a Bride, her Mum, and her bridesmaids feel a million dollars on that special day, or to make a teenager going to their first prom feel like a princess.... so give me a call and enjoy a pamper before your special occasion!

Based in Hereford Ruth Starkie is a Wedding/Event Make-Up Artist.

 I’m Ruth and my journey into a career of makeup started from an early age. I spent my summer holidays working in a local beautician and at the age of 16 I assisted at my first wedding and I was hooked! I absolutely loved the buzz and excitement of a wedding morning and still do so to this day.  When I finished my studies, I went on to train with the super prestigious Ciara Daly Makeup Academy in Ireland and in more recent years I have trained with Kristina Gasperas Academy in London. Kristina is a wedding industry awards judge and previous national award winner. I continue to develop my skills and knowledge with regular training with top industry professionals. I have never felt more fulfilled and happier in my career choice. I really have to pinch myself that I get to do something I love so much for a living. I feel truly honoured when someone books me to be their makeup artist.  

I am a fully qualified and very experienced Bridal Makeup Artist based in Worcestershire working with clients throughout Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire.

Bridal makeup is, so important I will help you get it right.

I am a professional makeup artist based in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, but happy to travel across the Cotswolds (or even further afield if you have a sunnier landscape in mind for your wedding!), offering a bespoke beauty service to brides and beyond. It is my mission to make your wedding morning as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, and have you looking - and most importantly feeling​ - your most exquisite on your special day. My looks range from old-school Hollywood glamour, soft and dewy romance to barely-there effortless chic, and anything in between.

I have been passionate about makeup for as long as I can remember. As a little girl I was always asking my friends and family to let me make them up; it is a form of artistic expression so pure and satisfying, sowing a little beauty wherever you go. Though initially I trained in film directing and screenwriting at the Met Film School, I later realised that I wanted to specialise in bridal makeup, and honed my craft at the Central School of Makeup in Birmingham. My kit ranges from cruelty free brands such as Bobbi Brown and Charlotte Tilbury, to timeless faves like Giorgio Armani, MAC and Laura Mercier, to trendy, high-street staples including Benefit, Kiko Milano and Morphe, but I am constantly trying new products too, to ensure that my clients have access to the highest quality makeup.wy romance to barely-there effortless chic, and anything in between.

I truly believe that every woman is beautiful. I am passionate that every bride should look and feel like her best version of herself on her wedding day. I work closely with every bride to create a tailored bridal makeup that suits their own personal style. The looks I create are natural, glowing and polished – flawless modern bridal makeup that always feels like you, you on your very best day.

My kit is stocked with only the highest quality, tried and tested products from premium luxury brands such as NARS, Bobbi Brown, Charlotte Tilbury, Tom Ford, Chanel, Dior, Armani Beauty and many more.
