Emma Olliff Makeup Artist

I am a Sussex-based bridal makeup artist. Professionally trained, creative and passionate about my job. Catering for weddings and special occasions, I offer a range of packages for brides to-be and bridal parties. I also offer bespoke, one-to-one makeup lessons at any level. I mainly serve Sussex and the surrounding counties, including Surrey, Hampshire and Kent – although I’m always happy to travel further afield, or even catch a flight if necessary. My job is to enhance, not mask, my brides’ natural beauty. To do this, I spend the time needed to get to know the brides I work with, so I can understand who they really are. I think that it’s really important to listen to what the client wants, and not to try and push my own vision or preferences. I can of course guide as to what I think will be the most flattering outcome. I will also take into consideration a particular theme and the design of the dress to help decide a look with you. As a wedding makeup artist, I want to create a timeless look that complements a bride’s personality and enhances their individual beauty. Mostly all I want are for my brides to feel confident. confident in knowing they look fantastic. ​ A trial is recommended so you can know exactly the style we are going to achieve on the wedding day. I always say to my clients that by having a trial this allows you to relax on the morning of your wedding knowing exactly how the finished outcome will be. Myself and team will do our upmost to make your day as stress free as possible. I often get feedback saying that we were a calming influence which we pride ourselves on. Weddings can be stressful enough so its our job to make you feel special and pampered on the morning of your wedding so you can enjoy the day feeling confident and beautiful as well as relaxed.
