About

Hello, I'm Elise.

I've spent ten years doing makeup for weddings, editorials and everything in between — and I still believe the best part of this job is the quiet hour before a wedding, when the house is calm and someone starts to feel like the best version of themselves.

I work with clean, skin-first products, keep a meticulously hygienic kit, and travel anywhere within two hours of Bath. Nervous about being "done up"? You're exactly who I love working with.

Let's talk about your day  →
"I cried three times on my wedding day and my makeup outlasted all of it. Elise made the whole morning feel like a spa."
— A 2026 bride
"I've never felt so much like myself in photographs. Booked her again before the thank-you cards went out."
— Mother of the bride
