About

Smink Makeup is based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire and is a full service private studio.

Marianna (that’s me!) has worked for over 15 years as a makeup artist, for both private and corporate clients. Amongst many clients, for example I have worked with fashion designers like Paul Costello and various couture houses to create show looks for London Fashion Week.

I have also worked in tv & film and on music videos as well as top secret private clients (shh!)

For bridal parties, we work together to create a flawless look which you feel happiest with. I don’t do “cookie cutter instagram makeup, I will listen hard to what you actually want and wil feel comfortable with, whether that’s a barely there, natural look or something more glamorous and sparkly. It’s your day so you should feel the best you can!

With regards to hair, I specialise in simple, romantic styles -I am also happy to source and work with other artists if you prefer a very specific look.

If you are local to Ilkley, you are very welcome to meet me at my studio before booking a trial to make sure I am the right artist for you - please do get in touch!

Other services

Makeup Lessons, airbrush makeup, commercial photographic shoots, body art, special fx, tattoo cover ups, drag queen styling.
