HAIR & MAKEUP ARTIST BASED IN SOUTH LONDON
I’m Maireade, a hair and makeup artist with a love for creating timeless, refined beauty that feels effortlessly modern.
I work with brides who want to feel confident, radiant, and truly themselves on their wedding day. My signature style is polished and understated, designed to enhance your natural features in a way that feels elevated yet authentic, never overdone.
Whether you're planning a chic city celebration or an intimate destination wedding, I specialise in creating tailored looks that feel personal, elegant, and unforgettable. The kind of looks that photograph beautifully and still feel like you.
“Maireade did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she was absolutely amazing! If you are looking for someone to do your hair and makeup for your wedding then absolutely choose Maireade! She is a dream to work with and will help you achieve the look you want and make you look your absolute best for your day!”
What must-have products can be found in your kit?
I absolutely love the glossier cloud paints for a natural flush of blush, and the Maria Nila wax spray which smells like watermelon and works like a dream.
What’s one of your career highlights?
Doing hair and makeup in a beautiful gold clad room in the Ritz overlooking London. Watching the bride pose like a model on the staircase as onlookers gazed in awe of her ethereal beauty whilst sipping their afternoon tea and eating their french pastries.
What do you love about doing weddings?
I love being in a room with all the girls, feeling the fire and the fun and being involved in the magic.
What's your top tip for brides-to-be?
Don't let the prep be anything other than fun. Make sure you enjoy every aspect of planning your wedding because the planning is half of the fun and the wedding is only the crescendo!
