Customer Testimonials

“WOW, Polly was simply fantastic! She put me at ease about my make up from the minute I met her at my trial. I suffer from acne on my face & chest & was having a flair up in the week leading up to my wedding, & she assured me that my make up would be perfect & it was. I felt & looked a million dollars. She was able to offer airbrush make up & a range of colours on my eyes & lips that complimented my pale blue dress & my make up lasted all night & looked flawless in my photographs.”

Most brides say, “I don’t want much makeup” Most brides say, “I don’t want much makeup” 🤍
What they usually mean isn’t less effort — it’s less obvious. Often, they mean neutral rather than natural.
Looking like yourself on your wedding day takes balance, restraint and professional technique. It’s knowing where to add support, where to soften, and where to stop.
Natural bridal makeup isn’t accidental — it’s intentional.
I specialise in bridal makeup for Lake District weddings, creating neutral, natural-looking finishes that feel effortless, photograph beautifully and still feel like you.

This is what natural really means.
LED isn’t a trend — it’s a skin investment. LED isn’t a trend — it’s a skin investment.
I’ve been exploring at-home LED as part of my skin prep routine, and this one really stood out.
I always start with a clean, freshly washed face — LED is designed to be used on bare skin so the light can work without barriers.
Red + near-infrared light are commonly used to support collagen production, skin recovery and overall glow — especially helpful between professional treatments or during busy, high-stress periods.
Blue light works differently, helping to calm and balance the skin by targeting breakout-causing bacteria.
After LED, I apply my serums and moisturiser while the skin is calm and balanced. It doesn’t force products deeper — but it helps create the ideal environment for them to work more effectively.
As a makeup artist, skin prep is everything — and this has become an easy, consistent step I can use at home.
Would you try LED as part of your routine? 🤍
It’s 2026 — your wedding year 🤍 For many br It’s 2026 — your wedding year 🤍
For many brides, this is the year planning starts to feel real. The excitement builds, the details come together, and decisions begin to matter a little more.
Bridal makeup is one of those things that’s worth thinking about early — not because it needs to be stressful, but because the best experiences are calm, considered and planned in advance.
I specialise in bridal makeup for Lake District weddings, creating natural to soft glam looks that feel like you, photograph beautifully, and last throughout the day.

Smokey eye 🤍 — but make it bridal. One of the Smokey eye 🤍 — but make it bridal.
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear from brides is that a smokey eye automatically means heavy or overdone makeup.
In reality, a smokey eye is a technique, not a fixed look. It can be soft and natural, softly glam, or more defined — depending on your features, colouring, and personal style.
I specialise in bridal makeup for Lake District weddings, creating everything from barely-there definition to soft glam smokey eyes, always balanced, timeless and designed to photograph beautifully.
Bridal makeup should reflect you — not a trend or a label.

While I’m known for soft, natural bridal makeup, a soft glam bridal look can be just as beautiful when it’s done thoughtfully.

This bride has full coverage skin and lashes — yet the overall look still feels soft, balanced and effortless.
One of the biggest misconceptions about bridal makeup is that “natural” means minimal products. In reality, it’s about how makeup is applied, balanced and finished, especially for photography and changing light throughout the day.
Coverage can even out skin tone, lashes can frame the eyes, and thoughtful placement ensures everything still looks timeless — not heavy.

I’m Polly — a Lake District bridal makeup artist, born and raised here, married, and mum to two girls.
Before bridal makeup, I worked as a radio presenter, which means calm energy, clear communication and reassurance are second nature — especially on busy or emotional wedding mornings.
A huge part of my job happens quietly in the background: planning, prepping and making sure everything feels unrushed so you can simply enjoy the moment.

Cameras soften features, lighting changes constantly, and makeup needs to be carefully balanced so it looks beautiful both in real life and in photographs.
Professional bridal makeup isn’t heavier — it’s more considered. Placement, structure and technique are what create a soft, timeless finish that photographs flawlessly throughout the day.

A trial can be a really helpful way to explore your makeup look, understand how your skin responds, and feel confident knowing exactly what to expect on your wedding day.
That said, not every bride needs one — some brides feel comfortable going straight to the wedding day, especially if they love a soft, natural makeup style and trust their makeup artist’s approach.
