A Little About Me — Bristol Bridal Makeup Artist
Hey! I’m Evie – a Bristol-based bridal hair and makeup artist with a passion for creating natural, relaxed, and timeless wedding looks.
What a year it’s been! I’m so grateful to be fully booked for weekend weddings this year and already 75% booked for next – yippee!
I wanted to take a moment to share a little about myself and my approach so you can feel confident in who (and what) you’re booking for your wedding day.
Who I Am
Okay, confession time – my full name is Elizabeth Victoria. But about 15 years ago, I had a bit of an identity crisis, moved to California, and reinvented myself as Evie (short for my initials, EV). It just clicked – I finally felt like me after twenty-something years.
Now, I’m happily based in Bristol, working as a bridal makeup artist across the South West, Bath, the Cotswolds, and Wiltshire, helping brides feel their most authentic and beautiful selves on their wedding mornings.
My Hair and Makeup Style
I am, of course, a Bristol-based wedding hair and makeup artist, and I truly love what I do. But I’ll be honest – I’m not your heavy-contour, full-glam artist. After years of trying to fit that mould, I realised that it just wasn’t me (and frankly, I’m terrible at it!).
My signature style is natural, glowing, skin-first makeup. I focus on enhancing your features – not covering them. You’ll still see your pores, freckles, and fine lines, because that’s what makes you you.
- I use light to medium coverage foundations with a touch of concealer where needed.
- I’ll conceal spots and brighten under the eyes, but avoid heavy contour or transformation-style makeup.
- Expect soft radiance, healthy skin, and a subtle glow.
I believe that makeup should make you feel more like yourself, not someone else. As someone who has experienced body dysmorphia, I’m passionate about promoting self-acceptance and confidence through my work.
Hair Styling Approach
My hairstyles are soft, textured, and unstructured – effortless but secure. I love hair that looks lived-in and complements the natural flow of your dress and face shape.
Think relaxed buns, soft waves, and styles that hold beautifully all day without that “helmet head” feeling.
What It’s Like Working With Me
From your bridal trial to your wedding morning, you can expect a relaxed, chatty, and supportive experience. I love connecting with people — so fair warning, I’ll probably end up learning your entire life story (and you’ll definitely hear mine too).
You’ll get:
- A calm, friendly presence on your big day.
- A professional yet personal service.
- Hair and makeup that enhances, not masks.
A Few Fun Facts
Outside of weddings, I’m currently:
- Learning (terrible) French and Spanish.
- Writing a book (I know, it sounds a bit pretentious, but I promise it’s just for fun!).
- Drinking far too much tea
- Playing drums and guitar. Did you know I used to be in a wedding band?
Let’s Chat
I’m already booking into 2027 and availability is limited, so if you’re looking for a Bristol bridal hair and makeup artist who loves natural beauty and effortless elegance, I’d love to hear from you.
