Luxury Bridal Makeup
With almost 15 years of experience in the makeup industry, Charlotte is a highly skilled and versatile artist whose career has spanned every corner of the field. From the fast-paced energy of Fashion Week to the precision of film and television, as well as music videos and editorial work, she has built a reputation for professionalism, adaptability, and a refined creative eye.
Charlotte’s work has seen her collaborate with models, television personalities, and musicians over the years, with various publications in luxury magazines Vogue and Tatler.
Her early career began in luxury retail, working in Beauty at Harrods, before progressing to MAC Cosmetics, where she developed both her technical expertise and her ability to deliver exceptional service to a high-end clientele.
In 2020, Charlotte opened her own salon and training academy during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the uncertain climate, the business quickly grew and flourished, with a team of 12 at its peak and a strong reputation for both services and education. After four successful years, Charlotte made the decision to close the salon in order to return to working independently, allowing her greater creative freedom and a more personal approach with her clients.
In recent years, Charlotte has focused her artistry on bridal makeup — a space she feels most passionate about. Known for her attention to detail and her ability to create timeless, elegant looks, she is dedicated to ensuring each client feels confident, radiant, and entirely themselves on one of the most important days of their lives.

Personal
I’ve had a love for makeup for as long as I can remember, inspired from a young age by my Mum who also shares a love for makeup too. I always had a natural creativity that followed me all the way through academia and that early passion has stayed with me. I’m completely skincare-obsessed and truly believe that looking after your skin is the foundation of feeling confident and radiant.
Outside of makeup, I’m passionate about taking care of myself through exercise and good food. I love a good walk in the countryside or at the beach, and love to cook (especially for other people!) — there’s nothing better than bringing people together over a great meal — although I do have a serious sweet tooth and can't go without a dessert of some sort daily!
I’m a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I have a 12-year-old Pomeranian called Zara who is a big part of my world. When I’m not working, I love to travel, explore new places, and spend time in nature — that’s where I feel most like myself.
Give me a peaceful morning with a good cuppa, the sound of birds singing, and some beautiful flowers, and I’m in my absolute element! It’s those simple things that bring me the most joy, and I try to bring that same calm, positive energy into every client experience.
