H E L L O

I’m Emma, thank you for having a look at what I do!

For over a decade I have been fortunate enough to work with lots of amazing people, brands and companies.

Making people feel awesome is my absolute passion and to be able to do this in such a creative way, by using make-up and hair styling, is what I really love about my career.

As I am based in the heart of England in Derby, it is quite easy for me to travel all over the country.

I started my professional make-up journey at the beginning of 2010 where I took a make-up course in London. I worked with many talented photographers back in Derby and Nottingham and started building my portfolio whilst gaining experience. Three years later, I went back to college for another year to study a ‘Level 3 Diploma in Make-up Artistry’. Then, went on to learn hair by completing my ‘Level 2 and Level 3 NVQ’s in Hairdressing’ and also trained as an ‘Airbase’ airbrushing make-up professional. I keep my skills updated by attending short courses regularly, such as ‘Advanced Barbering’ and ‘Bridal Styling’.

I use professional high quality vegan, cruelty free products on my clients. I believe in giving everyone the very best service possible whilst looking after their skin with non-toxic make-up, skincare and hair products.

Amazing bridal hair & makeup!

Emma did an amazing job of my bridal hair and makeup, and my MoH makeup. She listened to what we wanted and offered ideas of how to have my make up, which were better than I’d imagined. She is so lovely, and took her time to make sure I was happy with everything. Emma sent out a detailed timeline for the big day which really helped plan the day! It was great to have someone who can do hair and makeup, so there wasn’t lots of people around on the morning of the wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!💕

Hello! I'm Emma, I own 'make-up by emaR', I started doing make-up professionally back in 2010, building my business up slowly and have been able to make this my full time career.

I love meeting and working with new people everyday. Being a part of someones special day is such a privilage, I always aim to exceed expectations.

I am passionate about using high quality vegan and cruelty free products, along with educating clients on how to look after their skin and hair.

On a trial, I will make sure we try as many looks until you, the bride, are 100% happy.
