Life as a Destination Makeup Artist

Being a pro makeup artist, each wedding offers a unique canvas, but destination weddings hold a special place in my heart.

The breathtaking settings of destination weddings, whether on a beach, in the mountains, or at a historic venue, naturally inspire creativity. The surroundings enhance the bride’s radiance, allowing me to craft looks that complement the beautiful backdrop.

Destination weddings are often more intimate, with a close knit guest list, creating a relaxed environment. This allows me to spend quality time with the bride and her party, tailoring each look to their preferences for a more personalised experience.

Each destination reflects the couple’s style and the location’s culture, offering endless possibilities for makeup artistry. Whether it’s a natural look for a beach wedding or a bold style for a city affair, the variety keeps my work exciting and fresh.

Traveling for destination weddings often leads to lasting relationships with brides and their families. The shared experience of these special events turns professional connections into meaningful friendships.

Destination weddings are a refreshing change, combining my passion for makeup with my love for travel. The new environments and experiences make my work feel like an adventure, fuelling my creativity.

Working in diverse locations, each with its own set of challenges, pushes me to grow and adapt as a makeup artist, enhancing my skills and expertise.

The stunning backdrops of destination weddings result in some of the most beautiful photos, showcasing my work in magnificent settings and adding to my portfolio.

I love destination weddings because they blend travel, new experiences, and the joy of creating bespoke bridal looks in the most beautiful settings. It’s an honour to be part of these magical moments, making them truly unforgettable.

WHY we're the perfect match

Paige was absolutely incredible to have as part of my elopement experience. I did a trial with her a couple of days prior and felt completely at ease. Paige is so professional, kind and detail oriented and she did the most beautiful natural look for me. As someone who loves a plan and can be a bit of a stress head, I felt so at ease seeing Paige at the door early on the morning of my elopement, making sure she was all set up and ready to go. I didn't have any family or friends with me on the day so Paige was really more than a make up artist for me on the morning of my elopement and I will be forever grateful to her for being part of day.

Paige is an incredible makeup artist, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked in, she was calm and professional. I didn't have time for a makeup trial with Paige, due to travelling from Australia, but she listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to do. I honestly felt so beautiful, I got so many compliments from guests at how flawless my makeup looked.

Where do I even begin. Paige was outstanding! Not only has she mastered wedding makeup but her overall presence blew me away. As many brides can relate, I was quite anxious leading up to the moment and her energy was soft and calming. She had a great sense of humour and she is genuinely someone I would want to spend time with. So having her there was the cherry on the top. The makeup lasted until the very end and I have never felt so beautiful and angelic.

I was incredibly lucky to have Paige as my makeup artist for my wedding. She did such an amazing job not only on myself, but for my bridesmaids too. I had a trial with Paige a few months prior to the wedding, and all correspondence with Paige was easy and she put at ease all of my concerns. I absolutely loved my makeup on the day. If you need your makeup done for any special occasion or event, I would highly recommend Paige.
