A little from me...

Hi, I'm Victoria, I've been a makeup artist in Surrey & it's surrounding areas for nearly twenty years. I added hair to my skills about ten years ago. Before that I worked in the fashion and luxury goods industry.

I've worked on hundreds of brides, been a South East Finalist in the Wedding Industry awards and had work published in and on covers of bridal magazines. I have also been part of a panel of experts offering beauty tips to brides. If you are a bride looking for hair and makeup, I'd love to hear from you. I cover Surrey and it's surrounding areas but am happy to travel nationally or internationally for your wedding.

I am also here if you need hair and/or makeup for any photoshoots: branding and/or headshots, maternity, boudoir. Or events: race days, big birthdays, proms, balls, charity events, red carpet or any excuse to feel glam!

My main passion is helping women of ALL ages and budgets achieve confidence and joy through makeup. I share my knowledge through various tutorials and personal makeup lessons, workshops and masterclasses; my approach is real, honest and kind.

I'm all about skincare. I've helped lots of women with hormonal skin issues, particularly menopause. Brands have picked up on this and I am asked to film various content for them.
