Big Love From Me

Hey Gorgeous,
I’m Zoe, a wedding makeup artist and educator based in sunny Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

Since 2011, I’ve been creating fresh, flawless makeup that enhances your natural beauty, never masking it, and helps you feel confident, comfortable and completely yourself.

My Story
My love for makeup began when I was five years old, performing as a competitive Ballroom and Latin dancer for over 20 years. Back then, makeup was about transformation. It gave me confidence, helped me express myself and became a powerful form of self-belief.

In 2011, I trained professionally as a makeup artist at the London College of Fashion, and completely fell in love with the artistry, connection and confidence makeup can create.
Today, I use those same tools to help people feel incredible in their own skin, whether that’s on their wedding day, at a special event or through confidence-boosting makeup lessons.

Why Choose Me
I bring positivity, warmth and a calming presence to every booking. I’m friendly, approachable and genuinely love creating a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere, especially on emotional days like weddings.

I’m also a Reiki practitioner, which allows me to hold space in a grounding and nurturing way. Many clients tell me they feel calmer the moment I arrive, and that reassurance matters just as much as the makeup.
Most of my clients come to me for that effortless, natural soft-glam look. Polished skin, soft definition and makeup that never feels heavy or caked on.
If you want to look like yourself on a really, really good day, I’ve got you.
And if you want glitter, you already know I’ll bring it 

Education & Empowerment
With over 23 years in education, I run Beginner Makeup Masterclasses and one-to-one lessons for adults and teens across Essex.
These sessions are designed for people who want to learn how to do their own makeup in a supportive, confidence-building environment, with no pressure and no judgement.
Alongside my own classes, I also teach at the London College of Fashion, working with members of the public who want to develop their makeup skills, confidence and understanding in a professional yet approachable setting.
I also host customer-focused makeup masterclasses in collaboration with leading beauty brands, including Charlotte Tilbury, sharing practical techniques and everyday tips you can actually use.

Sustainability, Inclusivity & Conscious Beauty
I’m committed to working towards a more ethical and eco-conscious kit, using brands such as Tropic Skincare and Charlotte Tilbury, and offering an eco-friendly glitter bar for parties and events.
I also continue to use selected MAC Cosmetics products for their colour range and professional performance, while always reviewing and refining my kit to balance beautiful results with conscious choices.

Inclusivity is just as important to me.
I proudly work with all brides and couples, welcoming people of all backgrounds, cultures, ages, genders, identities, abilities and love stories.

Love is love. Beauty is diverse.
There is no single way to be a bride.
