MEET GEMMA & LEANNE
Our story began in London, Covent Garden, where we worked as Head international trainers for a global make-up brand, one of the most prestigious professional make-up brands in the world.
We travelled globally, leading masterclasses, working on campaigns, fashion shows, photoshoots and film sets. Over time, our friendship grew into a professional partnership, sharing the values of trust, experience and a love of artistry. We decided to bring our artistry home to the bridal world and Bridal Make-up Essex was born.
What makes us different is the depth of our knowledge and professional background. Our careers have taken us onto photoshoot sets, behind the scenes of television and film and into the makeup chairs of high-profile clients. Our experience means we know exactly how make-up performs under cameras, in all kinds of lighting and across long, high-pressure days. We understand timings, schedules and the importance of every detail. That’s why when we work with brides, we bring not only artistry but a professional standard usually reserved for the industry biggest stage.
Over the last decade, we’ve built a reputation as trusted names in the Essex bridal industry. We’ve been honoured as finalists in the Essex Wedding Awards and our work has been featured in “An Essex Wedding Magazine”, “Real Weddings Magazine” and even
OK! Magazine for Stacey Solomon’s bridal party. But what we’re most proud of isn’t the accolades, it’s the brides who tell us their make-up made them feel like the best version of themselves and that their morning was truly memorable because of their experience with us.
