Resumé

I trained at the London School of Beauty and Makeup and I have been working around the London and Hertfordshire areas for the past few years. Although I've now moved back to my home town and I cover the East Midlands: Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire (I'm a Nottingham girl originally), Rutland and Northamptonshire.

From a very young age, I have always been fascinated by makeup and after many years of working in the Legal field and having had enough of battling for a seat on the tube every morning, I finally decided to pursue a career as a makeup artist five years ago.
I love my work and there is nothing better than to be involved in a bride's special day and help to create that perfect look which will make a bride feel like a princess. Some of my brides have featured in Wedding Ideas magazine, Cosmo bride and Brides magazine to name a few. I'm a beauty expert for a county wedding magazine and I am an advisor on the National Makeup Advice Forum which was started by another makeup artist friend of mine.

I am a total makeup junkie and I've personally tested and researched hundreds of products to make sure I have only the best in my kit. I mainly use products from Chanel, Bobbi Brown, Mac, Nars and Laura Mercier, but also some professional products from Screenface, RCMA and Ben Nye. My personal favourite brand is Chanel and I often have the new seasons colours even before they are launched over here.

Makeup is such a personal thing and I will work with you to create the look you want for your special day. My work over the past few years has given me experience of all skin tones and colours. Recently I have branched out into Asian bridal makeup and I can create a beautiful look for your registry or traditional service. With this in mind, I trained with Bharti Vyas and can provide eyebrow threading (much less painful than waxing!).

Although bridal work is my main job, I also offer makeup lessons, special occasion and prom makeup too.

Whether you want something ultra glamorous with false lashes, a classic English rose look or something uber-natural, I can provide that for you.

Please note I am soley a makeup artist, but I can recommend hair stylists if you require.

Testimonials

"Rochelle really made me feel like a princess on my wedding day, not only was my make up beautiful and flawless, but the lashes gave such a dramatic look, and to ensure I looked my best all night she made me a custom lipgloss. She also id an amazing job on my mum and sister. and when we were running late she helped both myself and my sister with our dresses. I would recommend Rochelle to anybody, if they want a perfect day! "

"I absolutely loved my wedding make-up. I would never believe that i can look so good. Rochelle can do miracles! Higly skilled, professional and by the end did make-up even for my husband to be because he was fighting a terrible cold sore. Thank you, thank you, thank you"

"I found Rochelle through a recommendation on Confetti. For someone who wears very little makeup, I was a bit nervous about how my bridal makeup would turn out. From my trial through to the big day, she was a consummate professional & truly made me feel like a princess. For the trial, she came to my house armed with the best makeup collection I have ever seen. She listened to my opinion, came up with her additional suggestions e.g. a few fake eyelashes and the result was absolutely pefect, exactly what I had pictured in my mind. On the big day itself, she was a calming influence amongst the madness. I would love to be able to book Rochelle every time I need my makeup done! "
