“Thank you Kayleigh, for making me feel so beautiful. I cannot think of anyone more perfect to have had with me on my special day.”
Sophie - London
"I've been meaning to write to you to say thanks so much for doing my makeup. You created just the look i wanted - so happy with it & my sister was pleased too. You created a really nice relaxing atmosphere!"
Isobel - Canterbury, Kent.
I always say, wedding mornings are the Oscars of your life.
You’re not supposed to look completely different, you’re supposed to look like you’re about to walk your red carpet, your aisle.
Makeup isn’t just makeup. It’s confidence. It’s expression. It can be a suit of armour to steel nerves, or it can be a small nod to creativity. More importantly makeup should be yours. You should wear it, not the other way around. It’s not the main event - you are. And that’s my favourite part of it.
The By Kayleigh Brides Experience
My foundational pillars of what I do are simple. Effortless. Nurturing. Warmth. That’s what I want to embody. I want my brides to feel safe, secure in the knowledge that their beauty is in the best hands.
When we first meet, we might hug hello - but I guarantee if we don’t - we’ll definitely be hugging goodbye. I aim to create a safe space for my clients, be prepared for serious oversharing, puppy cuddles if you want them at my studio, and a collaboration when it comes to your makeup.
I don’t want to give you a big transformation, I want you to feel like you. You but empowered and confident. You ready to take on the world. You happy to be photographed. Makeup is not the main character, you are. And that’s what I love about what I do.
The Trial and The Day
I believe in connection and trust, and encourage honest feedback throughout the trial and process (I am never offended!). Only though honest feedback, will we create a look you feel absolutely amazing in! We have all sat in a hairdressers chair and silently regretted our look - but your wedding is too precious to be silent about. I encourage collaboration between us, to create your perfect look.
Your makeup artist is one of the first people you see on your wedding morning. I like my aura to be very chilled and calming. I like to blend in - it’s your main character moment!
My job encompasses more than just the makeup - it’s to protect your energy. Whether that’s providing a relaxing playlist, holding babies, or tidying away the coffee cups - we’re more than just makeup artists.

“Kayleigh did the most phenomenal job. She nailed a makeup look for each of us that made us all feel our most beautiful. It gave me so much confidence to step onto that aisle”
- Kate (2021 Bride)

Every makeup artist has a unique style. Mine is more “Oscar Red Carpet” than your full Kim K Instaglam. My signature is soft glowy skin, always real. I like freckles and skin texture to show in all their glory. I like to accentuate, not cover. I can do those things if requested, but if you are looking for a more full glam experience, I would go for a makeup artist who excels in that area. My style is focused on “real”. Think fresh, timeless, editorial beauty.

I am proud to say, I am more than confident working on every single skin tone and that remains one of my truest values in my business. I work regularly with brides of all backgrounds and my absolute best feedback has come from those who trusted in me and my artistry.

One of my biggest foundational values is being a safe space for everyone. Here at KayleighKMUA, anyone is welcome regardless or sexual orientation, background, race or religion. I want to hold space for every individual who wants to work with me and aim to create a safe space in my work environment, for everyone to be their true selves. 🏳️🌈

With your bridal makeup, it should compliment you, not overshadow you. You are wearing it, and not the other way around. That said, with any style of photography, it might feel a little *more* than you're everyday - and that’s OK - because this isn’t your average day! But don’t worry, it will never feel like a mask!
