About Erin – Berkshire Bridal Makeup Artist
Professional makeup artist based in Wokingham, Berkshire, specialising in bridal, editorial, and special occasion looks.
My Journey into Makeup Artistry
From a young age, I was always drawn to art and creativity, with makeup quickly becoming my greatest passion. After leaving school, I trained at the prestigious Brushstrokes Makeup Academy at Longcross Film Studios, where I completed an intensive two-year course in makeup artistry. I graduated with the highest grade, achieving a distinction, and went on to secure work as a makeup assistant on a Disney+ production of A Thousand Blows, starring acclaimed actor Stephen Graham.
Professional Training & Experience
Following this, opportunities within TV and film became limited due to the writers' and actors' strikes in Hollywood, which had a knock-on effect across the industry. Although bridal makeup had always been something I dreamed of pursuing later in my career, this period became the perfect opportunity to focus on that passion.
I joined a well-known Berkshire-based bridal makeup academy, where I spent a year refining my bridal skills and gaining invaluable experience. This gave me the confidence to launch my career as a freelance makeup artist.
My Signature Bridal Style
To further elevate my work, I invested in one-to-one training with renowned bridal makeup artist Kristina Gasperas. Today, my signature style is soft, glamorous and timeless, enhancing natural beauty while ensuring my brides feel confident, elegant and truly themselves on their wedding day.
