Enhancing Natural Beauty: The Art of Soft Glam Makeup
When it comes to makeup, less is often more — and that’s exactly the philosophy behind my signature natural and soft glam makeup looks. As a makeup artist based in Colchester, I specialise in creating timeless, radiant beauty that enhances your best features without masking who you are.
Whether it’s your wedding day, a special event, or simply a moment to feel your best, my approach focuses on flawless, glowing skin, softly defined eyes, and a fresh, polished finish that looks just as beautiful in person as it does in photographs.

My Approach to Natural Makeup
Natural makeup isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing it right. Every face is unique, and my goal is to bring out your natural beauty with carefully selected products and techniques that work in harmony with your skin tone, texture, and style.
I focus on:
- Healthy, luminous skin that looks fresh and hydrated
- Soft, seamless blending for that “barely-there” glow
- Enhancing your features, not masking them
- Long-lasting finishes that stay comfortable and beautiful all day
My clients love the confidence that comes with looking like the best version of themselves — never overdone, always effortlessly elegant.
Luxury Brands, Professional Results
I believe that great results come from great products. That’s why I use only high-end, skin-loving brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi Brown, and Estée Lauder in my kit.
- Charlotte Tilbury for radiant, glowing skin and timeless Hollywood-inspired glamour
- Estée Lauder for reliable, long-wearing coverage that feels light and looks flawless
- Bobbi Brown for natural tones, skin-true foundations, and fresh finishes
These brands help me achieve that signature “soft glam” — dewy, elegant, and picture-perfect without being heavy or cakey.
Soft Glam for Every Occasion
The “soft glam” look is all about balance — softly defined eyes, naturally flushed cheeks, and glowing skin that complements every outfit and occasion.
It’s a look that suits everyone, regardless of age or skin type, and can be tailored from subtle daytime elegance to a slightly more enhanced evening style.
From bridal makeup to special occasion makeup across Essex and Suffolk, my clients often say the best compliment they receive is “you look amazing — and so natural!”
