MAKE-UP ARTIST + EDUCATOR
ELLIE MAYHEW
A little bit about me
Hello, I’m Ellie, a luxury makeup and hair artist with over eight years of experience helping women look and feel like the most confident, radiant version of themselves.
My work is rooted in the belief that makeup should enhance, not mask. My goal is always the same: to elevate your natural beauty in a way that feels effortless, refined, and entirely your own.
I’ve had the privilege of working with an incredible range of clients across the UK but every look I create is bespoke, thoughtfully tailored to your features, personality, and vision.
I work exclusively with premium, professional products that are handpicked for performance and longevity, designed to photograph flawlessly and wear beautifully from morning to night.
Beyond working with clients, I’m equally passionate about education; mentoring aspiring makeup artists through 1:1 lessons, workshops, and masterclasses that are designed to empower and inspire.
Lets create some makeup magic!

Can't beat a classic! September by Earth, Wind and Fire will get me dancing. Day to day you'll find me listening to Jungle or Olivia Dean.
Meet The Team

15 years of experience, he's the wise one. Comes to work for the ear scratches and rich tea biscuits!
Mabel
Makeup Apprentice
The youngest member of the team. She's making good progress but would rather have cuddles!
Ellie was truly the best. She is the most down to earth, friendliest person I’ve ever met. From the moment I first met her for my trial makeup to on the wedding day, I always felt at ease. Ellie was so welcoming and upbeat. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup and Ellie and she made me feel like an absolute princess on the day. Words will never be enough to thank Ellie for all she’s done, I would 10000% book with Ellie in the future. 10/10 ladies! Get booking with her!

I had a wonderful time with Ellie, she's enormously talented, so gracious and kind, and my wedding make-up looked perfect, exactly what I wanted to achieve. I couldn't recommend Ellie more highly, and I felt like I'd known her years. She brought the calm to the glam squad prep, and knew exactly when to dial it up for that sip of champagne before walking down the aisle. Thank you so much Ellie, you really made me feel (and look) beautiful for my wedding.

Ellie was an absolutely fantastic wedding make up artist! I'm not really a make up person, and Ellie was brilliant at listening to my vague ideas and giving ideas to explore and bring together in a final look. She was very responsive to my questions and also helped me find the right person for my hair, which was fantastic. She was a calm, well organised presence on the day, which I just appreciated so much. The look just lasted so well and I didn't have to think about it at all which was exactly what I wanted!
