We create the morning you wish you could relive forever.
At The Brilliant Bride, I am here for the Bride who wants to feel like the very best version of herself.
I am a luxury bridal makeup artist based in North Devon, working in Cornwall , the South West and destination wedding abroad. My style is elevated, natural: skin-first, soft and radiant, enhancing the beauty you already have instead of hiding. Think glowing skin, effortless soft glam and a finish that still looks like you, just polished and radiating confidence.
Whether you’re saying “I do” at Tunnels Beaches in Ilfracombe, Watermouth Cove, Launcell’s Barton in Bude or anywhere your love story takes you, our goal is simple: for you to look in the mirror and still recognize yourself… just a little more polished, confident and bridal.
From the first message to the final touch-up, I want getting ready to feel like a morning with your best friend. We’ll take the time to chat through your skin and your look at your Trial, so when the wedding morning arrives it will be calm, relaxed and fun. If you are looking for bridal hair, I work with two incredible stylists who ensure everything runs smoothly.
What My Brides Say…
“ I booked Laura & Paris for my wedding makeup & hair. They both did such amazing work and made the morning feel so stress free and enjoyable. They truly are ‘girls girls’ and are who you need around you on your wedding morning. My hair and makeup lasted ALL day and night (& I love to dance). The prep and advice they gave me during the trial helped me get my skin & hair in a great place. cannot recommend them enough! ”
Bride-Liz, Venue- Tunnel's Beaches Ilfracombe“ I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone talented, knowledgeable, professional and genuinely invested in making people feel confident and comfortable. She contributed so much more than just beautiful makeup to the whole wedding experience."
Bride- Ruth, Venue- Tunnel’s Beaches Ilfracombe
“ Laura listened to what we wanted and made us feel at ease which helped me and my bridesmaids relax and enjoy the morning chatting and getting ready. I felt beautiful and my makeup stayed on all day even though it was hot. Our wedding was all we could have wished for and more! Thank you.”

Brilliant Hair
We have two exceptional bridal hairstylists -(Paris and Lauren) creating beautiful wedding hair for brides across North Devon, the South West and beyond. Every style is thoughtfully tailored to complement your overall vision, with a focus on modern, romantic hair that feels effortlessly elegant. Think soft texture, timeless styling and a flawless finish that not only looks incredible but feels comfortable enough to wear from morning until the last dance.
Brilliant Makeup
Radiant, skin-first makeup that enhances your natural beauty without ever feeling heavy or overdone. Our signature soft glam creates a fresh, luminous finish that photographs beautifully while still looking and feeling completely like you. I use the absolute best makeup products alongside tailored, indulgent skincare to create the perfect canvas for beautiful, long lasting makeup.
Getting to know you
Your wedding day is so much more than a date in the diary- it is a once-in-a lifetime moment that deserves to feel calm, personal and truly unforgettable. We take time to understand your story, your style and how you want to feel on your wedding day.
Hair & Makeup Trials
Your bridal makeup trial takes place in my beautiful home studio—a calm, welcoming space where we can take our time creating your perfect bridal look.
This is your opportunity to relax, chat through your vision, and refine every detail until you feel completely confident and excited for your wedding day. Together, we’ll create a radiant, timeless look that feels effortlessly like you.
Hair trials take place separately with one of our talented bridal hairstylists, allowing each of us to focus entirely on our specialist area and give you the best possible experience. If you’d prefer to arrange your hair and makeup trial on the same day, we’ll always do our best to accommodate this where schedules allow.
By the end of your trials, you’ll have a clear plan for your wedding morning and complete confidence that every detail has been thoughtfully designed with you in mind.
