About

Hi! I'm Rachel, your bridal hair and makeup expert. I work alongside brides to make their wedding day Pinterest boards come to life.

My signature look is radiant, timeless, and elegant. I use my inside secrets and advanced products to create the very best version of you. As a perfectionist, I'm always evolving my technique to move with the bridal trends and strive to bring you a service that exceeds your expectations, one where you feel special, valued and heard.

Being part of the wedding industry for the last 18 years means I've seen a lot of clients who regularly wear makeup and some who don't even own a makeup bag; whatever your experience, you deserve a look that is authentically, beautifully you.

What's most important is that, together, we find a look that's long-lasting, comfortable, wearable, and looks great in your photography.

My #1 aim is for you to walk away from your trial feeling like the best version of yourself, not someone else. So, if this sounds like what you're looking for, then please do get in touch to see if I have your date available.

Rachel Caws Bridal Hair and Makeup Specialist, based in Rustington, West Sussex, offers wedding styling services.

Amazingg weddin hair and makeup artist

Rachel was fantastic as the hair and makeup artist for my wedding! I really wanted someone who could do both hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids and Rachel is truly talented at both. She was super responsive from the very first messages, really helpful in organising the trial, and a lovely presence on the wedding day itself. She really listened to what I wanted, making adjustments to my makeup when I thought it was a bit too much (I wanted a very natural look), and making helpful suggestions for hair styles and accessories. On the day itself, she was such a lovely, calm presence, which helped keep everyone else calm, despite a power cut in the middle of doing everyone's hair, and a last minute hair adjustment! I loved my hair and makeup, and my bridesmaids all looked amazing as well (thanks also to Katie, the assistant that came with Rachel on the day). I would highly recommend working with her!

Wonderful experience

After another make up artist let me down a few months before our wedding, Rachel turned what had been stressful into a wonderful experience. After just our first phone call, I felt so reassured and that I was in very good hands. I felt so relaxed during the trial- Rachel has a very calming and friendly presence.

On the day Rachel and her assistant did bridesmaids' hair and make up smoothly and helped create a warm atmosphere. My mum said the eye shadow colour was exactly the shade she would have chosen for herself and the younger bridesmaids looked beautifully fresh and natural.

My make up lasted so well through the day and I loved my lashes! I felt so comfortable and like myself too. Thank you :)
