Bridal makeup

artistry

Provence based, sought from around the world.

Nearly one hundred brides in three years, from the UK and the US to Australia, Korea, Japan and beyond.

A small number of weddings each year, chosen with care.

the work

Bridal makeup, bridal party and destination weddings across Provence and well beyond.
Every service rests on the same idea. I don't put makeup on a face, I create a result. One that photographs beautifully, holds from the first photo to the last dance, and looks unmistakably like you at your very best.
My work has been trusted at châteaux across the region, from Château d'Estoublon to Château de la Tour Vaucros, and featured by French Wedding Style.

who i am

I studied psychology. I worked in beauty PR.
Then I trained as a makeup artist in Paris.
That path isn't scattered, it's the whole reason I can read a bride within the first ten minutes, picture the full visual story of her day, and build a look that truly belongs to her rather than to a trend.
I'm based in Provence, and I travel for the weddings that deserve it.
In three years I have done the makeup for nearly one hundred brides, who came to me from more than ten countries.

the full story 
Brides from Australia, Finland, Canada and beyond, on the morning they remember.

  • Will it really last all day, through the heat, the tears and the dancing?

    "It lasted through every emotion and all the dancing, from the morning until the very end of the night." — Laura

    "It held for more than ten hours without a single touch-up needed." — Natascia

    "My makeup held until 6 in the morning." — Sarah

    "It lasted from 11 in the morning to 6 the next day, even through all the tears." — Julie

  • I'm scared of looking overdone, like a painted doll.

    "I was afraid of the heavy painted look, and it was the complete opposite, soft and entirely like myself." — Charlotte

    "I never wear makeup and the experience was wonderful, I felt like myself, just more radiant." — Elisabeth

    "Soft makeup, true to who I am, that held through all the hugs, the tears and the dancing." — Claire

  • Can I trust her before we've even met in person?

    "Since I live far away, we discussed the makeup look through online video calls, and she was always patient and attentive during our conversations." — Penny

    "She answered the same question five times over the year with the same patience and kindness." — Justine

    "The connection happened right from our first phone call, and the result on the day was even better than the trial." — Julie

  • I don't speak French well. Will we understand each other?

    "The fact that she speaks perfect English made communication so much easier and more comfortable for me." — Penny

    "So easy with my broken French and her lovely English, and the morning stayed calm the whole time." — Laura

    "She took care of our whole group and her English was fantastic throughout." — Felicia

  • What about my bridesmaids, my mother, my mother-in-law? Everyone's skin is different.

    "She took care of the whole bridal party, every different skin type, and everyone looked like the best version of themselves." — Felicia

    "She did all of us, bridesmaids, my mother and my mother-in-law included, with a personalised skin analysis for each one." — Flora

    "Mathilde adapted perfectly to each of us, from the first contact to the wedding day." — Camille

  • The morning is going to be so stressful.

    "A soft, calm energy that melted away all the wedding-morning stress." — Camille

    "She knew how to relax me and made the morning feel light, I was in good hands." — Natascia

  • Is the trial worth it? Will she actually listen to what I want?

    "What I especially loved was how she listened to my preferences — when I found a makeup style I wanted to try, she did her best to match the exact shades of eyeshadow and blush, while also offering great advice based on my skin tone." — Penny

    "The trial was explained step by step, I felt heard and truly guided." — Juliette

  • What if my timeline is tight, or things change at the last minute?

    "So much kindness, she adapted to my tight timeline and took all the pressure away." — Typhanie

    "On the wedding day, she arrived earlier than the scheduled time, which I really appreciated." — Penny

  • Will it feel comfortable, or will I feel it on my skin all day?

    "The texture is so light you quickly forget you're wearing anything, and it lasted all night." — Justine

    "Her makeup style is very natural, which is exactly what I was looking for." — Penny

  • A natural result that still feels like a celebration look.

    "A beautifully refined natural look, she put me at ease right away with the loveliest energy." — Justine

    "Radiant, light makeup, perfect from the first contact to the wedding day." — Camille

Let's have a short call. We'll talk about your day, the look you're imagining, and whether we are the right fit for each other.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year, so every bride has my full attention, from the first call to the last dance. The Saturdays from June through September are the first to go, so the earlier we talk, the better.
