Luxury make up artist for glam brides

Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life, and your bridal makeup should look flawless from the very first glance in the mirror to your last dance of the night.

I’m Barbara Ayisi, a bridal makeup artist based in Kent and London, specialising in timeless, glamorous looks that give you complete confidence to stand out on your special day. If you’re a bride who loves polished glamour, luxury details, and a calm, professional experience, you’ve found your ideal match.

Your bridal journey begins with a dedicated preview session, where we design and perfect your look. I set aside a few hours because I believe your bridal makeup deserves time, care, and complete attention to detail.

During your consultation, we will:

  • Explore your inspiration and discuss your vision in detail.

  • Trial products and techniques to ensure lasting comfort and flawless results.

  • Create a look that feels true to you, while complementing your dress, hair and wedding aesthetic.

Your Initial Make Up Consultation

On Your Wedding Day

This session isn’t just about makeup - it’s about connection. By the time your wedding day arrives, you’ll feel relaxed in my chair, confident in your look, and excited to see it all come together.

On the morning of your wedding, I’ll arrive polished and professional, ready to create your chosen look with calm precision. My role is not just to apply makeup - it’s to give you a serene, luxurious experience so you can enjoy every moment before walking down the aisle.

INVESTMENT

The luxury bridal makeup experience starts from £550.

Each booking includes a bespoke touch-up kit, so you’ll have everything you need to feel fresh and confident throughout the day. Experiences can be tailored to include hairstyling, bridal party makeup, stay-all-day support, or a destination wedding experience.

  • Alongside makeup, I also provide bridal hairstyling services - from Hollywood waves and sleek ponytails to polished buns and French twists.

    Most brides book hair and makeup together, and I can also style your bridal party (bridesmaids, mother of the bride, etc.) as part of your experience.

    If you’re a bridesmaid, mother of the bride, or guest enquiring separately, please see my Events page.
