Hello, I'm Gemma!
I am 25 years old. Here you'll find some more information about me and my business.
I'm a professional freelance Makeup Artist based in Kent. I specialise in bridal and occasion makeup and I am a fully insured specialist member of BABTAC. I have been in the makeup industry for 9 years. I spent my first 4 years studying Tv+Film specialist makeup at college/university from 2012-2016 and I graduated with a BA honours degree in Specialist Makeup. Whilst studying I went on to work for a well known makeup brand and it was whilst working on counter I discovered my love for bridal and occasion makeup. I went on to launch GemMakeup in 2017 and have worked as a full time freelancer since.

I pride myself on my professionalism whilst still being friendly and calm on your big day. You will rarely see pictures of me as my sole focus is on my clients and brides that I have the pleasure to glam. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of such a big day and meeting all the lovely bridal parties! I also love to help out in any way I can. This can be helping your bridesmaids into their dresses, making sure your flowers are as the florist instructed, assist with buttoning up your dress and staying with you as long as I can to ensure everything runs smoothly and your makeup is done to perfection!
My love for high end makeup products has become quite the obsession of mine. In my kit you'll find brands such as: Nars, Hourglass, Armani, MAC, Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi brown, By Terry, Laura Mercier, Urban Decay, Dior, Too faced, Tom Ford, Becca and many more! I describe my style of makeup as soft but glam! I love nothing more than to enhance features, making your makeup feel as comfortable and weightless as possible and making my brides feel like the best versions of themselves.
I am fully mobile for all bookings providing you with being in the comfort of your own home. For larger bridal parties I will hire a second makeup artist or recommend someone to assist. I work alongside makeup artists who I feel provide the same level of skill to ensure your bridal party can feel confident with either artist. I also have a recommendation list for hair stylists for brides who have booked with me but are yet to find a hairstylist or prefer someone I usually tag team with.
I will travel to any wedding destination however the 4 main counties I cover are:
- Kent
- South East London
- Surrey
- Essex
*Destination weddings are available from January 2022 onwards. This will be on an enquiry basis only. Please contact me directly for pricing.
