Emma’s Journey
As a leading Makeup artist in Suffolk I have a wealth of experience and a superb reputation within the East Anglian wedding industry.
My love of makeup started as a very young girl when watching my big sisters transform themselves ready for parties and dates. Mesmerised by their makeups I quickly learnt to use my favourite Mary Quant eyeshadow set. The smell of Yardley lipsticks still evoke memories of my lovely mum applying her bright pink lipstick.
Training
Having trained at the London College of Fashion as a Makeup Artist for film television and fashion I worked in the USA, then returned to the UK and joined Clarins where I managed top London accounts including Harrods, Liberty and Dickens & Jones. After having my family I branched out as a freelance MUA. I will not only introduce you to a whole new way of applying make-up, I will also make it fun, exciting and relaxed, leaving you feeling beautiful. Being a very calming and experienced person I am ideal to have with you on the morning of your wedding and I often go over and above just being your makeup artist in Suffolk! I have become quite an expert in doing up wedding dresses, calming nerves and ensuring everything is running to schedule!
Covering Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire
I live in Sudbury, Suffolk with my husband, and I’m happy to travel to your chosen location on your wedding day within most parts of Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk and Cambridgshire. However if your location is further afield, I may have to make a small charge for time spent in travel.

These include Mac, Benefit, Clarins, Lancome, Urban Decay, Delilah, Rosalique, Sephora, Charlotte Tilbury and Airbase Airbrush Foundation.
