About Me
makeup bestie!
Think we'd be a good match? Keep reading to find out more about my makeup story, my brand and get to know me better
I get it - your choice of bridal MUA is so important - we'll be together all morning on the most special day of your life, so we've got to be a good match. Without further ado here's a few fun facts about me for a quick vibe check!
1. I'm a dedicated dog mama to my three mini sausages Poppy (100% cray), Daphne (angel) and Hamish (in his Brat Era)
2. I'm a recovering interiors and decorating addict with a weirdly good memory for paint names.
Hey it's me! your new bridal
3. I'm a total period drama and gangster series geek, and my spirit season is Autumn. My perfect evening is a cosy night in, snuggled up on the sofa with the pups, watching Bridgerton and Topboy and a Bramble cocktail in hand.
4. I'm a Libra through and through! I love calm vibes, organising stuff and making everything look beautiful. And then probably making a spreadsheet about it.
5. I'm multi-lingual. As well as English I speak French, Spanish and a bit of Italian. I used to live in Paris - Bastille baby - and still miss the food every day!

MY MAKEUP LOVE STORY
FINDING MY SIGNATURE STYLE: MODERN, ELEGANT GLAMOUR
At the end of lockdown I trained and qualified at the world renowned London School of Makeup. I fell in love with makeup then, and remember never wanting the course to end. Even at this very early stage of my development as an artist, I had a clear idea of my own makeup handwriting. I laugh about it now, but during my training I was often told off for not applying heavy enough makeup.
I was very confident in my instincts though, and could see that my work was beautiful. I remember the model whispering to me in French during one application "Don't worry - I love it!". I did too, and this was the start of my signature style; a timeless, polished and elegant glam.
I also sensed that things had changed during lockdown, and what we were using makeup for had evolved. We were no longer using it to mask our individual beauty, we were using it to enhance and elevate our unique selves.
I knew this meant brides must also be looking for this more modern style of makeup I loved to create - fresh, complexion focused and effortless. So, a few months after I qualified, Brides By Demi was born!
Since launching my bridal makeup business I have attended masterclasses and trained 1-1 with some of the industry's leading bridal specialists including Botias, Laura Carroll and Storme Webster, regularly assist Glow By KT and have been fortunate enough to represent the MG Makeup Team behind the scenes at London Bridal Week. I look forward to continuing to learn, develop and evolve as an artist to ensure I can bring my brides the very best in bridal makeup and the most exquisite, elevated bridal experience.
