THE VISION
Modern makeup with glowing skin and soft, defined eyes for an elevated, minimalist bridal vibe
Brides come to Emily Chantal for a fresh, modern look that feels natural, refined and bespoke. Her work centres on luminous skin, soft definition and an understated finish that photographs beautifully and feels effortless throughout the day.
Emily’s brides often describe feeling calm, confident and completely looked after. Her approach is unrushed and highly professional, with every detail considered so you can settle into the morning feeling composed and cared for.
Her signature makeup style is modern and natural. She is known for fresh-yet-flawless skin, individual lashes, barely-there eyeshadow and a focus on creating a radiant look without heaviness.
The result is a quiet, modern glamour that suits the setting, the dress and the bride herself.
Emily works with a carefully selected kit of premium products from brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Nars and Dior to ensure longevity, comfort and a polished finish.
Based near Woodbridge, Suffolk, she is available for weddings across Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk, London and selected destinations in Europe.
