Meet Mel
I’m a Harrogate-based makeup artist with 15+ years of experience helping brides, women over 40 and teens feel confident, polished and beautifully themselves.
As a 40+ woman myself, I understand how much your face, skin and confidence can change over time. My approach is calm, supportive and never about masking who you are. It’s about helping you feel like the best version of yourself with makeup that truly suits you now.
Whether you are booking wedding makeup or a private lesson, my aim is always the same: to help you feel at ease, looked after and confident in what suits you.
Loved by Brides and Women Across Yorkshire
From weddings to private makeup lessons, my clients come to me for a calm, judgement free, warm and personal experience and makeup that helps them feel confident, comfortable and like the best version of themselves.
“Hi Mel I just wanted to say thank you so much. Everyone at the wedding looked amazing and you were so professional. I wish you all the best in everything you do, as I think you are totally ace!”
Mary (Bride) – Ripley Castle Wedding
“Fantastic make up lesson. I learned so much and now have a modern beautiful make up routine. Mel recommended some amazing products and updated my look with a twinkle in her eye. I recommend Mel to anyone who needs to update their look or learn how to apply great makeup. Thank you Mel!
Nicky – Over 40 Makeup Lesson
“Mel transformed my daughter’s relationship with makeup. Before the lesson, she was struggling with mismatched foundation and felt overwhelmed by online tutorials. Mel’s approach was incredibly supportive and age-appropriate; she taught her how to enhance her natural features rather than hide them.
