One of the most unforgettable days was when I worked with a bride who had been dreaming of her wedding for years. She was a bundle of nerves in the morning, but by the time we finished her makeup and she looked in the mirror, her whole demeanor changed — her eyes sparkled, and she radiated pure joy.
Seeing her mother tear up and her bridesmaids gasp with delight made me realize that makeup isn’t just about looking beautiful; it’s about creating confidence, happiness, and memories that last a lifetime. Moments like that remind me why I love being part of someone’s special day — helping them feel like the best version of themselves as they walk down the aisle.
Natural – enhancing features without looking overdone
Elegant – sophisticated, polished, and timeless
Refined – subtle attention to detail and flawless finishes
Radiant – creating a glowing, fresh, and healthy look
Confidence-boosting – making clients feel beautiful and self-assured
I’m most proud of creating a space where clients feel seen, confident, and celebrated. Whether it’s a bride on her wedding day, someone getting their brows perfected, or a client treating themselves to Tox or filler, my business is about enhancing natural beauty while making every client feel comfortable, special, and cared for. Knowing that I’m part of people’s most important moments — helping them look and feel their best — is what truly makes Kms Brows & Beauty meaningful.
Start with yourself first — prioritize your own happiness, comfort, and self-care. From skincare and beauty prep to scheduling time for rest and reflection, taking care of yourself will make every other wedding detail feel easier and more enjoyable. A calm, confident bride shines brighter than any decoration or dress!
One of my favourite touches I’ve seen at a wedding is when brides incorporate meaningful family traditions — like wearing a grandmother’s veil, carrying a handwritten letter from a loved one, or including a special song during the ceremony. Those personal details make the day feel truly unique and full of love
My process with a bride is all about creating a calm, enjoyable, and personalised experience from start to finish. It usually begins with a consultation where we discuss your vision, style, and any inspiration images. Next, we schedule a trial so you can see your look in advance and make any tweaks. Leading up to the wedding, I’ll guide you on skin prep and any additional beauty treatments to ensure you’re radiant on the day. On the wedding day itself, I create your flawless makeup and brows, keeping the process relaxed and stress-free so you can enjoy every moment
What I love most about my job is helping people feel confident, beautiful, and like the best version of themselves. Whether it’s a bride on her wedding day, someone getting their brows perfected, or a client treating themselves to Tox or filler, being part of those special moments and seeing their joy and confidence shine is incredibly rewarding.
Start your skincare early — healthy, glowing skin is the best canvas for flawless bridal makeup
I keep a bride calm by creating a relaxed, stress-free environment from the moment I arrive. I chat, check in to see if she needs anything like food or drink while she's having her makeup done, guide her step by step through her makeup and beauty routine. My goal is to make the experience enjoyable and soothing, so she can focus on the excitement of her day while feeling completely confident and at ease
Prep their skin in advance with a consistent skincare routine.
Use long-lasting, waterproof makeup products.
Keep a small touch-up kit handy (blotting papers, lipstick, or powder).

Trust their makeup artist — we’ve got you covered for flawless, stress-free results from ceremony to last dance!”**
