Ilaria Budgen Makeup Artistry Full Description

Hello, I’m Ila, the makeup artist behind Ila Makeup Artistry, based in Cirencester in the heart of the Cotswolds. I specialise in high end bespoke bridal makeup, creating soft, romantic and naturally radiant looks that enhance your features and leave you feeling like the very best version of yourself.

My style is all about beautiful skin, a fresh, glowing complexion and softly defined features. I love makeup that feels effortless and elegant, with just the right amount of soft glam. For me, it’s never about changing how you look, but enhancing what’s already there so you feel confident, beautiful and completely yourself.

As an award-winning makeup artist and certified Charlotte Tilbury Artist, with a background in fashion and commercial makeup, I bring experience and a real love for my craft to every wedding. Skincare is a big part of my approach, and I take time to prepare your skin before applying carefully chosen products to create that fresh, luminous finish that looks beautiful both in person and in photographs.

I know how special your wedding morning is, and I want getting ready to be a lovely part of the experience. From your first enquiry to your bridal trial and the morning itself, I take the time to get to know you, understand your vision and make sure you feel comfortable and listened to. No two brides are the same, so I tailor every look to your features, personal style and the feel of your day.

Alongside bridal makeup, I also look after bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom, creating beautiful, complementary looks that make everyone feel their best.

I work across the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and beyond, travelling to your chosen venue to help you feel relaxed, confident and beautifully looked after on your wedding day.

My greatest joy is helping you feel beautiful, confident and completely yourself on your wedding day. With glowing skin, softly defined features and makeup that feels truly you, I want you to look back on your wedding photos and love how you felt just as much as how you looked.

Ila, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The makeup she created was nothing short of incredible. I have never felt so beautiful, confident, and truly like the best version of myself. What made the experience even more special was how genuinely kind, warm, and passionate Ila is. She didn’t just do my makeup; she made me feel special, celebrated, and confident as I walked down aisle. Ila, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping make one of the most important days of my life so unforgettable.

You were so amazing throughout the whole process.
Honestly what a beautiful lady inside and out, and just SO skilled and talented at both make up and skincare. I can't find enough words to thank you Ila! You made myself, mum and bridesmaids all feel so gorgeous, a true elevated version of ourselves. Your patient, kind and lovely nature is most definitely what every bride needs in their make up artist on their wedding morning. You are the absolute BEST and I'm so glad to have found you! Keep being amazing - Thank you xx
