02About
Hi, I’m Ellie
The best thing a bride can say afterwards is that the morning felt calm. That’s what I plan for.
We get your look exactly right at the trial, photographed in daylight. On the day I bring the lights, the chair and a timetable for everyone, and long-wear products keep you fresh from the first look to the last dance.

Ellie kept the whole morning calm and on time. My makeup still looked perfect at midnight.

The trial took the nerves away. On the day I didn’t have to think about anything.
★★★★★
Five bridesmaids, one mum and me, all done by ten. A genuine miracle worker.
05Questions
Questions brides ask
How far ahead should I book?
Summer Saturdays book up twelve to eighteen months ahead. Weekdays and winter weddings often have space closer to the date.
How does the deposit work?
A £75 deposit secures your date and comes off your final bill. The rest is paid a week before the wedding.
How is travel charged?
Free within 15 miles of Oxford, then 45p a mile each way. The booking shows the travel fee before you pay.
How many people can you get ready?
Up to six people on a wedding morning. For larger parties I bring a second artist.
Do you work with every skin tone and hair type?
Yes. My kit covers every skin tone, and I’m happy to work with braids, wigs and extensions.
Can I book or pay through this example?
This is a fictional business on Shovva. Try every step to see how it works: nothing is booked, charged or sent.
Will it last all day and look good in photos?
Yes. I use long-wear products that photograph well, and we check your trial photos in daylight and with flash. Your touch-up kit keeps you fresh until the last dance.
Will it still look like me?
That’s what the trial is for. We start from how you usually wear your makeup and only go as far as you’re comfortable, so you look like you on your very best day.
Will we be ready on time?
Yes. A few weeks before, everyone gets a timetable worked back from when the photographer arrives. The bride is always finished with time to spare.
