Hi! I'm Victoria, an award-winning, cruelty-free/vegan Bridal specialist from a little town in West Yorkshire called Holmfirth.
Welcome to my website! Whether you've found yourself here because you're looking for a bridal hair or makeup artist, or you are wanting to spruce up your own makeup routine, hopefully you'll find what you're looking for.
Back in 2016 I decided to do formal makeup and hair training and set up my little business. Roll on to the present day, and I have won Makeup Artist if the Year 2023 (Yorkshire) with the English Beauty Industry Awards, won Highly Commended - Bridal Makeup and Hair Specialist 2023 with the English hair and Beauty Awards, Gold for Makeup Artist of the Year 2020 in the British Hair and Beauty Awards, and have been a finalist for the Yorkshire Beauty Industry Awards 2021 and 2022 and Creative Makeup Artist finalist 2023 with Creative Oceanic! I have provided hair and makeup for hundreds of brides and bridesmaids since the start of my business, and absolutely love spending my mornings with brides and their tribes!
I truly believe in beauty within, but I also acknowledge the power of makeup and how it can help give a little boost to someone's self confidence. This is the foundation of my business- to help you to look and feel the best you can. As I run my business from my home studio, you can be guaranteed a warm, friendly welcome, completely private to you. Client confidentiality and discretion is also of upmost importance to me.
I hope you enjoy looking around. You can find testimonials and photographs of previous work, details of all services I provide including prices, and a page dedicated to how you can contact me. Further testimonials and photographs of my most recent work can be found on my social media links.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch! I hope to hear from you soon,

Testimonials
I guess every girl dreams of her fairytale wedding and feeling like a princess. I've always been very good at distracting myself with work and never given it too much thought. But... what a surprise?!! I absolutely loved my wedding day and will cherish every memory. I especially want to thank Vic for making that possible. Vic transformed me from my everyday look into feeling like a princess! She was absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail and the look I wanted was spot on! She is so incredibly talented and very committed to her clients. She made me feel so comfortable and everything she did, she did it with a smile!
I felt extremely special and dare I say, a princess! My makeup and hair was exactly as I wanted and it made me feel ready for the big day. The day all girls dream of!! She also showered her talent on all of my bridal team and everyone looked absolutely beautiful. I just want to say an enormous thankyou to Vic for her amazing work and great memories. Thankyou!

Vic did my makeup and hair today for a friends wedding. Not being from around the area I was a bit unsure about who to contact but loved the looks she had created when stalking her on social media! I was thrilled with the results. She did a superb job on both hair and makeup. I would highly recommend her. Thanks again Vic.

Vic was going to be doing my hair and makeup for my wedding. I had a trial with her and she went above and beyond to get my awkward hair right. Unfortunately I have had to move my wedding date twice due to COVID-19. Vic moved my first date with no problem whatsoever but unfortunately can't do my new date next year. I'm gutted that she can't do my hair and makeup on this day as she's such a lovely person and made me feel at ease, and I felt confident in her skills and professionalism. I would whole-heartedly recommend her.
Sharon Hancock Brown, Potential Bride 2020
I thoroughly enjoyed my makeup lesson with Victoria. It was fun to learn about the latest products and techniques available, as Victoria was really knowledgeable. I would recommend it as a great way to freshen up or up-date your look.

Vicki did my makeup for my wedding and I could not recommend her enough. Even the morning of the wedding I asked her to change a couple of things from my trial and it was like she read my mind! I could not have been happier with the results on the day. Thankyou so, so much x
Rebecca Walker, Bride September 2018
I am extremely thankful that I had Victoria as my makeup artist for my wedding day. I had a British-Indian fusion wedding on a single day and I had a very specific requirement. I wanted my face to look natural and illuminating all day, but I also needed colours that would go well with my white dress in the morning and red saree in the evening. The lipstick she suggested was absolutely fantastic, and she gave that lipstick to me as a gift. I absolutely love this lipstick colour now. Thank you so much for introducing me to this lovely shade of red. She did absolutely amazing makeup on my face. I was surprised how stunning she made me look. She is friendly, professional and will definitely hear you out for your makeup requirements. If you are in and around Yorkshire, definitely go with her for your big day. Thank you very much Victoria.

I've used Victoria on a couple of occasions and have been extremely pleased with the results! She listens to what I want but makes suggestions when I need her to. My makeup always looks amazing with the eyes being striking but the rest of the face face not looking too 'caked on' like it has done sometimes when I've been elsewhere. I'm always ready to recommend Victoria to others and have already got her booked for my next night out.
Sara Dawson, January 2017
Absolutely loved my make up Victoria did for me. From start to finish Victoria was attentive to what I wanted. I gave a loose brief and let her work her magic and boy did she! I have eczema so It can be tricky but Victoria worked with that and balanced my skin tone out. My makeup was flawless but didn't feel like I was caked in it. It lasted all day and night and I had so many compliments on how nice it looked. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Victoria!

Vic did my bridal makeup, plus the makeup for my bridal party, at my recent wedding, and everyone's makeup was exceptionally good. Vic took a lot of time during my trial to get an understanding of the look I was for, plus tailoring it to my skin type. The makeup stayed flawless on my skin all day, for almost 24 hours! Plus even though I was wearing more makeup that I would on a day-to-day basis, it felt very light on my skin. Vic is friendly, professional, personable and clearly knows her stuff so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vic for bridal makeup or for any other special event. Thankyou!

Just a little message to say thankyou for doing my hair for my wedding. You made me feel really special from beginning to end and even calmed my nerves. My hair looked amazing throughout the night and even the next day it was still perfect. A million thanks!
Claudia, Bride 2021
Vic is an absolutely amazing makeup artist. She recently did my wedding makeup and it was just perfect. She is immensely creative and has such a talent for putting you at ease and intuitively knowing what will look good. Thankyou so much Vic !

I had my makeup done 2 weeks ago. I'm not used to pampering myself and had no idea what to expect. Victoria listened to the effect I wanted and spent time ensuring that with every step of the makeover she checked with me whether I liked what she had done. She made me feel like a million dollars and so special. The amount of people that commented on how good I looked was amazing. My mum booked in for a makeover the week after due to loving what she saw. I would highly recommend Victoria for all your makeovers and can't wait to be made over again.

Vic did my bridal makeup and hair about a month ago for myself and 2 bridesmaids. I could not recommend Vic highly enough! Not only is she highly professional and highly talented working her magic with her wands, she was an absolute pleasure to have around on what could have been a stressful morning. Vic took care of everything, structuring my morning to ensure we were all ready on time. Before the wedding I had a makeup and hair trial. Both looked amazing but I decided to go for a slightly different look for my hair. Vic was not put out by this at all and she happily embraced this by offering me a further trial before the big day. On the day of the wedding I had numerous family and friends around who all had forgotten bits of makeup and Vic was happy enough to lend a helping hand which was highly appreciated. I felt a million dollars and this was all thanks to Vic.She can truly work magic! If you choose to use Vic you will not be disappointed. Thankyou so much xx
