Hello and welcome to those of you who are new here 🫶🏻

I’m Claudia, the face behind Claudia Jane Makeup Artist. I started my journey in the cosmetics industry at just 16, and ever since, I’ve fallen in love with helping people feel their most beautiful. For the last four years, I’ve focused on bridal makeup, offering a premium, calm, and personalised experience for every bride.

I believe makeup should enhance who you are, so every look is carefully tailored to suit your style and make you feel like the best version of yourself.

It’s such a privilege to be part of your special moments, and I’m here to ensure you feel confident, relaxed, and radiant from start to finish. ✨ by @claudiajanemakeup

A new chapter for Claudia Jane!

Over the past few years, this little business of mine has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of 🤍

What started as finding my feet has evolved into a style and standard that feels completely my own — refined, elevated, and built on the experience I’ve gained along the way.

This rebrand is a reflection of that growth.

Rooted in Cornwall, and inspired by soft, timeless bridal beauty 🤍

Thank you so much for being here — it truly means everything ✨ by @claudiajanemakeup

Four Years of Doing What I Love ✨4️⃣❤️

It’s hard to believe that four years ago, what started as a little passion of mine would go on to become my full-time career! 🥹

I started my business whilst we were still living abroad and preparing to move back to the UK. There was so much uncertainty at the time, but looking back now, I’m so glad I took that chance.

Over the last four years, I’ve had the pleasure of being part of so many beautiful wedding mornings, meeting wonderful people and working alongside some incredibly talented suppliers.

2026 has undoubtedly been my most memorable year in business so far. From my busiest wedding season to date to winning my first award, it’s been a year of some really special milestones. But what means the most is how much I’ve grown in confidence, both in my work and in finding my place within the wedding industry.

With how busy life and business can be, I rarely get the opportunity to stop and reflect. But milestones like today remind me just how far I’ve come, and I’m genuinely proud of everything I’ve built over the last four years. 🫶🏻

To every bride who has trusted me with their wedding morning, every client who has sat in my chair and everyone who has supported my business along the way, thank you. Your continued trust and support mean more than you know.

Here’s to four wonderful years and everything still to come. 🤍🥂 by @claudiajanemakeup

Amazing bridal makeup starts with amazing skincare!

I absolutely love this part of the morning. It’s such a special, personal moment between me and my bride. A chance for them to sit back, relax and enjoy a little bit of pampering before the day begins.

It’s also a lovely opportunity for us to have a chat, settle any nerves and enjoy a few moments of calm amongst all the excitement.

It’s so much more than just prepping the skin for makeup! 🫶🏻

It’s all in those finishing touches 🤍

One thing I always make sure of is allowing extra time in my wedding morning schedule for those final little touches.

Whether it’s a lipstick top-up, a little blusher or one last check to make sure everything is looking perfect, I’m there until the very last minute!

I never rush off as soon as the makeup is finished. I’m there until you’re in your dress and ready to walk down the aisle.

And believe me, if I could follow you down the aisle fluffing your train and making sure everything was sitting perfectly, I absolutely would! 🤣🤍 by @claudiajanemakeup

The job title is makeup artist, but the reality is SO much more 🫢🫶🏻

One of the questions I get asked most…

Do I really need a trial?

My answer? I would always recommend one! 🙌🏻

A bridal trial gives us the chance to get to know each other, discuss skincare, explore different looks and see how your skin responds to the products I use.

However, sometimes a trial just isn’t possible!

My beautiful bride Hannah lived in America, meaning we weren’t able to arrange a trial before her wedding.

Instead, we had a consultation beforehand to discuss everything from skincare to her dream bridal look. I also allowed extra time on the wedding morning to make sure everything was just right.

Hannah put her complete trust in me, and I absolutely LOVED the finished result! ✨

So, are trials recommended? Absolutely. Are they always essential? Not necessarily. 🤍

This One’s for My Brides 🤍
WE MADE IT!

Being a finalist for the third year in a row genuinely means so much to me. 🥹

For me, this isn’t just about celebrating an award or an achievement — it’s about celebrating every bride who has trusted me to be part of such an important morning, every early start, every trial, every wedding morning and everything I’ve poured into my business over the past year.

To have that recognised again, three years running, feels really special. Thank you to every single one of my brides who has supported me, recommended me and allowed me to do what I absolutely love. 🫶🏻

Maybe three really is the magic number… 🤞🏻❤️

A little throwback to Abbie’s beautiful wedding day back in May. 🌸

It’s mornings like these that remind me exactly why I love what I do!

In the lead-up to her wedding, Abbie shared with me that she wanted a beautiful, soft and romantic pink makeup look, with this particular colour holding a very special meaning to her. 💖

Being trusted to create something so personal and meaningful was such an honour, and I’m so grateful I got to be a little part of her special day.

And just look at these photos! Everything about this day was beautiful. ✨💗
