Makeup That Still Feels Like You

Alternative, inclusive, and completely personalised makeup for weddings, occasions, and creative souls

Based in Edinburgh, and available across Scotland and the UK, I create makeup around the person wearing it, whether that means soft and romantic, colourful and expressive, full glam, grungy, or something entirely your own.

Nice to meet you, I’m Erin.

Makeup artist, creative enthusiast, and firm believer that getting your makeup done should actually be fun - not stressful.

I’m an Edinburgh-based makeup artist specialising in weddings, occasions, and creative makeup, but the bit I love most about my job is getting to know the person sitting in my chair.

You don’t need to know makeup. You don’t need to know exactly what you want. And you definitely don’t need to sit perfectly still while I silently paint your face for an hour.

My chair is a judgement-free zone. We can chat through every detail, experiment, change our minds, put your favourite music on, or just have a calm moment away from everything else going on around you.

Whether we’re creating a smokey eye, barely-there skin, something colourful and weird, or full-on editorial drama, I want you to leave looking in the mirror and thinking “Yup. That’s still me”

Weddings

Personal, collaborative wedding makeup without the rules. From barely there to bold, alternative, and completely your own

Kind Words from My Chair

The makeup is only part of the experience

“Erin was so sweet, so creative, and made both me and my wife who are not really makeup people feel so listened to and looked after throughout our trials and the chaos of the day, which never felt chaotic around them. We had a very large group getting ready for our wedding, and I know everyone felt able to express themselves and still feel part of a singular vision. Highly highly recommend.”

Jenna & Cal | Wedding

“I got my makeup done by Erin back in her John Lewis days. When I tell you I felt amazing after. Erin was so lovely and really listened to what I wanted. What I don’t tell Erin is that I really suffered with social anxiety, and being in such a social setting was really overwhelming to the point I was just going to run away, but as soon as we got chatting about everything makeup and life… my anxiety soon melted away. Erin has a real gift and not just in makeup. 10/10 gal!”

Rachel | Occasion

“When I had my makeup done by Erin, I had no idea what I wanted my makeup to look like, so I let her take charge to figure out what would look good. She didn’t disappoint! It was so beautifully done and very creative! She has a fantastic eye for what works well together and how to make it look good with what I was wearing, etc. I couldn’t be happier with the work she did. On top of being such an incredible makeup artist, Erin is also very good at keeping up such a great atmosphere. She makes sure that you’re happy and comfortable throughout the appointment.
