Hello! I'm Ila,

I am mobile Bridal & Occasion Makeup Artist based in Cirencester in the beautiful Cotswolds, covering Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Herefordshire, Wiltshire and surrounding areas.

 

I have always been very passionate about art & colour and had a creative mind since young age. This led me to a career in beauty and makeup artistry in 2014 in London where I trained as a MUA.

 

I love making people feeling comfortable, confident and empowered through makeup - I truly believe makeup should be a beautiful addition to who you are and it work for you in your own authenticity, enhancing your unique features and natural beauty, especially on your wedding day!

 

My style of makeup is elegant, classic, flawless. I specialise in Bridal Makeup but also do Occasion Makeup and love teaching 1-2-1 and group makeup & skincare lessons.

 

You can also see me sharing makeup advise and skincare tips behind the Charlotte Tilbury counter in Cheltenham where I work as a certified Tilbury Makeup Makeup Artist.
