Luxury Bridal Makeup & Hair in Cape town

I specialise in luxury bridal makeup and hairstyling for modern brides who want to look radiant and completely themselves.

Every look is tailored to your features, personal style and wedding vision, with a focus on beautiful , long-lasting results that photographs beautifully from every angle. Recently I was nominated as the one of the top 10 Makeup artist in the Western Cape!

MY MAKEUP PHILOSOPHY

I believe your wedding makeup should/ still look like you.
My approach is all about creating beautiful, long-lasting makeup .
Whether your style is soft and romantic, naturally radiant or full-on glamorous, your makeup should complement your personality, dress, hair and overall wedding vision.
I pay attention to the details that make the biggest difference — your skin, eye shape, bone structure, colouring and personal style — so your final look feels completely tailored to you

WHAT MAKES MY BRIDAL SERVICE DIFFERENT?

Your wedding morning is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and I understand how important it is that you feel beautiful, comfortable and completely taken care of.

I also understand that the wedding morning needs to run smoothly. Timing, organisation and creating a calm environment are just as important as the makeup itself.
For larger bridal parties, additional artists can also be arranged so that everyone can be ready on time without the morning feeling rushed.
My goal is simple:
You should be able to sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding morning knowing that you’re in good hands.

THE BRIDE I LOVE WORKING WITH

My favourite brides are the ones who trust the process, are open to professional advice and want their makeup and hair to feel personal rather than simply following a trend.
Whether you’re getting married in a Cape Town hotel, a beautiful Winelands venue, on the coast or somewhere completely unexpected, I want your beauty look to feel like it belongs to you and your story.

WHERE AM I BASED?

I’m based in Durbanville, Cape Town.

I regularly work with brides across the Northern Suburbs, Cape Town and the Cape Winelands, and I’m also available for destination weddings.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST ME WITH YOUR WEDDING DAY?

Because I understand that you’re not simply booking a makeup artist.

You’re trusting someone to be part of one of the most important mornings of your life.

You’re trusting me to understand your vision, work with your features, make you feel beautiful and help keep your morning calm and organised.

I take that responsibility seriously.

I believe in listening first, paying attention to the little details and creating a bridal look that makes you feel confident — not uncomfortable or unlike yourself.

But ultimately, I want you to leave my chair feeling one thing:

“I feel beautiful. I still feel like me. And I’m ready to get married.”

“Nooit in my lewe het ek gedink mens begin al 7h in die oggend met hair & make-up nie, hoe moet mens vars lyk teen 11h die aand? Dit was geen probleem vir Almari nie. Sy het so mooi gekyk na my bridesmaids en moeders en dan natuurlik na my ook. Ek ken vir Almari van skool, sy was so ‘n paar jaar voor my, maar ek onthou haar hart. ❀ Mens kort ‘n Almari hart op jou troudag en dan maak sy mens nog so mooi ook lyk. Dankie liefste Almari dat jy saam met my en my bridesmaids gedans (en gehuil) het. Dit is regtig soos om ‘n spesiale vriendin te vra om jou hare en grimering te doen vir jou spesiale dag. ”

“Baie dankie vir jou fantastiese diens! Jy het my regtig soos n prinses laat lyk en voel. Van die trail tot by die troue self het jy my op my gemak laat voel. Jy is n mense-mens en ons kon lekker gesels so tussen die hare en make up deur. Dankie dat jy vir my, my gevolg en my ma’s so gemaklik en mooi laat voel het. Ek sal jou verseker vir enige iemand aanbeveel!”
