Victoria Marley Makeup and Hair Artist Full Description
I specialise in providing fresh, radiant makeup looks and relaxed hairstyles, for your most perfect day. My classic bridal client is one that wants to enhance her own natural beauty on her wedding day, with their dream hairstyle incorporating beautiful lines, braids and twists.
Choosing to book with me means you get more than just a makeup and hair artist. Having provided makeup and hair for brides for over 8 years, I bring a wealth of experience on a wedding morning. I have a friendly, calming presence, but also bring bags of enthusiasm….many of the kind words I receive from clients comment on the relaxed atmosphere I bring on their wedding morning, and thank me for helping to keep them composed! This means they can enjoy what I personally think is one of the most special times of a wedding- the morning where you and your bride tribe get to spend quality time together.
I am honoured to have won many awards during my time. These include Makeup Artist if the Year 2023 (Yorkshire) with the English Beauty Industry Awards, Highly Commended - Bridal Makeup and Hair Specialist 2023 with the English hair and Beauty Awards, Gold for Makeup Artist of the Year 2020 in the British Hair and Beauty Awards, and have been a finalist for the Yorkshire Beauty Industry Awards 2021 and 2022 and Creative Makeup Artist finalist 2023 with Creative Oceanic.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
What is your most memorable wedding?
When the bridal suite bathroom ceiling fell down mid- morning!! The bride remained cool as a cucumber, and even though we began to run behind sechdule, eventually we managed to ensure she sashayed down that aisle on time!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Classic, elegant, personal, beautiful, timeless.
What about your business are you most proud of?
That the majority of my customers are recommendations- it means the world to me when someone has come as a recommendation as this means I've done a job that someone was really happy with and happy to pass on my details to their friends and family.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Dont let anyone cause you stress- it's your day! If anyone is causing you undue stress just consider whether you would do the same to them- and if not, dont worry about them!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A bride had a photo of her deceased father on the sole of her bridal shoes, so he could still walk her down the aisle ♡♡♡
Describe your typical process with a couple.
1. Check I have availability for their date.
2. Send through all prices, links to my website and FAQ.
3. And a quote and details of the time I would need on the day, so I can confirm arrival times for myself.
4. Trial books for the bride and anyone else wanting a trial.
5. Trials completed, finer details discussed and deposit taken to secure the date.
6. Your wedding day! I arrive, deliver my services and disappear once done, leaving you to enjoy your magical day.
What do you love most about your job?
Honestly, its the people I meet. I build such great relationships with so many of my brides, and these relationships often extend past the wedding date- even if it's just keeping in touch via social media!
What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?
Skin prep- makeup always sits better on smoother, happy skin!
How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?
Just through my normal chat! I'm pretty laid back, but also very organised. So I run a tight ship, but because of this I can then have a good chat and laugh with the bride and her bridal party on the morning of the wedding!
I have been known to help some brides with slow, steady breathing exercises, and some visualisation exercises, but that's a different story!
What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?
Book a good makeup artist!! But also have a lip top up, maybe a facial spritz to freshen up if getting married in the summer months (such as rosewater- refreshing, smells beautiful and really helps to freshen up skin), a few emergency hair clips and a needle and thread! And antihistamines- I've often given these out on a wedding morning.
