Katya, the artist behind The Makeup Labb

Hi, I’m Katya.

Bridal makeup artist working across London, Derby and destination weddings.

The person behind The Makeup Labb

I specialise in bridal makeup and work with brides across London, Derby and destination weddings.

My approach is pretty simple — I want you to look polished, feel confident and still recognise yourself when you look in the mirror.

I love makeup that looks beautiful in person, photographs well and still feels comfortable after hours of wearing it.

My approach

I don’t believe every bride needs the same look.

Some want soft and natural. Others want more definition, more glam or something in between. The final look should suit your features, your dress, your hair and, most importantly, how you normally like to see yourself.

We’ll work that out together at your trial.

On the wedding morning

Wedding mornings can get busy very quickly, so I like the makeup side of things to feel calm and organised.

Your timings are planned in advance, everyone knows when they’re sitting in the chair, and you have time to enjoy getting ready rather than watching the clock.

Good makeup matters. So does the experience around it.

“Katya, my makeup angel,

Thank you for the most perfect wedding make up. The whole process has been a dream, you are so talented, kind and passionate. I have loved talking all things beauty! I just knew I could put my trust in you as soon as we met.

With love, Natalie xx”
