How to Choose the Right Bridal Makeup Artist in Ibiza

You’re engaged, your venue’s sorted, and now you’re starting to picture the day. Not just the dress and flowers, but how you want to feel. That quiet buzz in the morning, a bit of calm in the chaos, and that moment you catch yourself in the mirror and think, “Yes – this is exactly me.”

Choosing a makeup artist is a big part of that. It’s not just about finding someone who can make you look nice. It’s about finding someone who understands your vision, keeps the morning running smoothly, and helps you feel confident from the first photo to the last dance.

Here’s what to look for when you’re choosing your bridal makeup artist.

Do you love their style?

Every makeup artist has a signature. Some lean full glam, some do natural skin and soft eyes. What matters most is whether their style genuinely fits you. When you look through their work, do you think, “Yes, I’d love that for me”? If you’re unsure, keep looking.

I work with a skin-first, glowy approach I call the Ibiza Glow – radiant, fresh, soft definition, and never overdone. Brides often tell me my makeup looks like them, just more polished and confident.

Do you feel heard?

It should never feel like you’re being talked into something that doesn’t suit you. A good makeup artist listens first, then brings their expertise in to enhance what you already love about yourself. Whether you’ve got a Pinterest board ready or need help figuring out what works for you, there should be space to have that conversation.

I always set up a relaxed call before any booking. That way, we can chat through your ideas and make sure it feels like the right fit – no pressure.

Are they calm and reliable?

Your wedding morning should feel relaxed and fun, not rushed or stressful. You want someone who’s organised, arrives early, and brings calm energy into the room. I always create a detailed schedule that allows time for everyone to feel looked after, without any last-minute flapping.

This isn’t just about the makeup. It’s about helping you enjoy the morning, so you walk out the door feeling calm, happy, and completely yourself.

Can they handle the elements?

Ibiza can be unpredictable – sunshine, sea breeze, humidity, the odd emotional moment. You need someone who knows how to work with the weather, choose long-lasting products, and prep your skin so it feels comfortable all day.

Having worked on shoots, beaches, rooftops and boats, I’ve built my kit and techniques around making makeup stay put and stay fresh. Your glow should last from morning mimosas to midnight dancing.

Do you feel comfortable with them?

This is probably the most important bit. You’ll be spending some of your most personal hours with your makeup artist – getting ready, feeling the nerves, laughing, tearing up. You want someone you feel completely at ease with, who brings good vibes, and knows how to tune in to what you need.
