Makeup glam on Sharon for her bridal trial 👩🏼🎨 Sharon doesn’t really wear makeup, but wanted to have some impact. She wanted medium coverage, and using M·A·C Cosmetics NC32 was her perfect match!
Also, MAC’s Harmony blusher was my best friend for this look - for both blusher and on the eyes, paired with eyeshadow palette 🎨
Sharon wanted to tie in the look with some individual lashes, and a deep mauve tone on the lip 👄

Hi everyone! 👋🏼✨ Whether you’ve been here for years or you’re completely new to my page, I wanted to reintroduce myself and share a bit about the face behind Makeup By Emz.
I’m Emma, and I’ve been a makeup artist since 2016💄 (this October will be 10 years!)
My specialty lies in traditional bridal, special occasions, and events. For me, makeup isn’t about masking who you are - my ultimate goal is to make you feel incredibly comfortable and confident in your own skin. ✨
I’m all about enhancing your natural features and beauty that’s unique to you.
I take immense pride in my work and my relationship with my clients. To me, a flawless look is a full experience! I love spending time prepping your skin with luxury skincare before the makeup even starts, right down to perfecting those meticulous final touches 👩🏼🎨
A few highlights 🏆
* Recognised as one of the leading freelance makeup artists in Leicester.
* Proudly featured as a recommended supplier/roster artist for multiple stunning wedding venues across Leicestershire.
* Had the incredible opportunity to be the lead MUA for Couture Fashion students as part of an ASOS shoot with Underlines Magazine! 📸
Outside of Makeup 🏛️🐾
When I don’t have a brush in hand, I’m channeling my creativity elsewhere! I’ve built a career in retail display and am absolutely obsessed with the creative side of retail design, property development, and visual merchandising.
Aside from my creative passions, nothing beats travelling, holidaying and spending quality time with my family, friends, and being a massive dog lover! 🐶
Lastly. To my amazing clients ❤️
I honestly can’t wait to keep doing what I love, meeting new faces, and building lasting relationships. Seeing a returning customer walk back through my door is truly my favorite thing ever - there is no greater compliment!
Whether you’re a future bride, attending a big event, or just love talking beauty, thank you for being here and supporting my journey.
Behind every flawless traditional bridal look is a story of precision, patience, and a whole lot of love. From perfecting the seamless, glowing base to that iconic, sharp Smokey liner, every single stroke is designed to make you feel like perfection on your big day. 👑
I always tell my brides that these moments in the chair are your time to just breathe, take it all in, and watch the magic unfold 💖

What an incredible day at The Barnsdale Hotel, Rutland wedding showcase today! ✨ It was such a joy to be back at this stunning venue today as their continued recommended supplier, representing me at Makeup By Emz 👩🏼🎨
I loved every second of pulling my stand together - there’s nothing quite like seeing the new branding come to life! From my new pull-up banner and foamex artwork panels to those glossy client transformations, it felt so “me.” (And I hope you all enjoyed the branded chocolates! 🍫)
It was a busy one - my enquiry forms are full and my heart is even fuller. It was wonderful to meet so many new couples and network with fellow suppliers, both old connections and new faces. 👏🏼
Here’s to a successful 2026 and 2027. I can’t wait to be a part of your big day! 💄✨

Yesterday I had the absolute honour on granting a wish for an end of life patient at the LOROS Hospice in Glenfield, Leicester.
Their wish was to get married and feel the presence of love and vows in their final moments.
Loros reached out to me to step in as the bridal makeup artist for his fiance, Joyce - to add sparkle and magic to the glam prep, and of course I said yes!
I have been part of many amazing weddings, but this one was very special to be a part of.
Thank you to Michelle and Sheila from the social team who contacted me, and allowing me to be part of this very special occasion.
