My name is Kelly Elkin, a professional bridal makeup artist based in Bromley. I'm very passionate about what I do and making people feel very special on their magical day. I really enjoy the aspect of make up and the power it has to both enhance and change our features.
I am proud to say I have twenty years experience within the cosmetic industry and 18 years specialising in bridal makeup. I trained at glauca Rossi in London that housed the infamous Charlotte Tilbury and Gemma Kidd. This led to fantastic opportunities in TV, film and editorial projects.
I have a small team of hair designers I have worked with for many years allowing us to create personalised packages tailor made for you without breaking the bank.
It’s time to start planning your big day and hair and makeup play a very big part. I would recommend a trial to start 3/4 months before so it’s another thing you can cross off of your tick list.
Please feel free to call, message or email to make an appointment. I will travel to you for your trial and your wedding day so you can relax and enjoy being the bride. I look forward to meeting you.
I cover all events from birthday parties, photo shoots, christenings, make up lessons, and hen/group makeovers to make you feel the best version of yourself. I'm also available for 1-1 makeup lessons and know how to make you look camera ready for professional photography or filming.
Kelly was so lovely to work with, and I’m so grateful I was able to find her and her hairdresser/MUA business partner, Perdip. She made me feel so beautiful and special, and she was so flexible with my tight schedule! She just made it work, knew exactly what she was doing, and I so appreciated her.

I got the Hollywood glow for mature skin and my make up looked amazing !! It was a red carpet event and I received so many compliments. Would not hesitate to recommend Kelly and I will be using her again for sure …

I am not great when it comes to make up so I wanted someone I could trust to make me look amazing on my wedding day. After searching, I am so happy I found and booked with Kelly. Kelly was quick to respond to my initial contact and provided all the information I needed. When I had my trial I knew I had found a winner. Kelly was lovely, friendly and chatty, and made me feel so comfortable. On my wedding day, her perkiness helped me with my nerves, and as for the make up, well I was so happy! ❤️
Lucy, Bromley
We found Kelly on Google when searching for a make up artist in the Bromley area. She was great from the start, really quick to reply and all booked in. On the morning of the wedding Kelly came to the apartment we had booked, she put us at ease and didn’t leave until she was 100% happy with both of our make up’s, which we loved! Thank you again - highly recommend!!
Victoria, Bromley
Kelly was brilliant from start to finish. Really responsive to messages and helped me work out what I wanted and what would work best for my colouring and overall vibe. On the actual day, Kelly helped keep us all relaxed, and made us all feel really special and pampered. Especially my beautiful best friend who had only just had a baby. The makeup was stunning and it was a perfect morning getting glammed up. The makeup lasted all day and night - through all the smiling, happy tears and drinking!!
Jessica, Bromley
It was a truly magical day, set against the historic backdrop of the Tower of London. I’m so grateful to Kelly, my makeup artist, for taking my booking at the very last minute. She is a true class act, professional, kind, and so talented. Kelly listened carefully to my needs and made both me and my bridesmaid look absolutely beautiful. Deborah, the hairstylist, was equally incredible. Together, they created the perfect look and made us feel confident and radiant on such an important day.
Raquel, London
I found Kelly after being let down by another make up artist. What a blessing in disguise this turned out to be. From the first phone call up to my wedding day Kelly was amazing, she has such a natural way about her, that made me feel at ease. I’d never had my make up done professionally and I normally do not wear much make up, I wanted to look like me on my wedding day and Kelly listened and made me look like a better version of me 😊
Joanne , Bromley
Kelly done a fantastic job on my makeup. I received so many compliments and it lasted all day. She’s a lovely person too. So would definitely recommend her.
Amanda, Bromley
Kelly was so easy to work with and a good communicator. Great value for money. She really listened to our requests & matched colours with outfits. Her manner with my 6 year old granddaughter (a flower girl!) was superb! All in all, Kelly gave us a super start to the Big Day - thank you so much, Kelly!!
Patricia, Bromley
Kelly is great, very communicative and reassuring throughout the process. For my wedding she did make up for four people and hair for two of us and we were all very happy with the results. I did a couple of trials before the wedding day and was also very pleased with how that went. I’d highly recommend Kelly and I would use her services again.
Rebecca , Bromley
I found Kelly by searching for a bridal make-up artist online. On 5 July 2025, Kelly did my make-up for my wedding, and the make-up for my bridesmaids and the mother of the groom. She is a true professional and an expert at what she does. Kelly provided advice about what would work best for each of us and the results were fantastic, everyone was really pleased. Kelly was very helpful in the planning for the day and flexible with the arrangements.
Abbie , London
Kelly was the best makeup artist I’ve used, even more so for my wedding ceremony. Used top quality products and listened to my requests as well as using her knowledge for what was best for me. 10/10 service Thank you very much ❤️
Lilly, Bromley
From the moment I met Kelly I felt so at ease and happy in her presence. I have no idea when it comes to makeup so i didnt know where to begin but Kelly instantly knew what would go well with my skin tone and what would highlight my best features. Kelly felt like one of my bridal team on the day and went above and beyond to help too. I was so happy with my makeup and it lasted all evening and on the hottest day of the year too and will definitely be using Kelly again for future events.
Chloe, Bromley
I employed Kelly to do my own wedding party and my own bride makeup after she did the makeup for my friends wedding and we had the best experience. She is very kind, accommodating and professional as well as being able to do a variety of styles. She accommodated my sisters skin allergies, and adjusted the style for each bridesmaid based on what they wanted. She did a perfect replica of the trial I had with her before and made me look so beautiful.
Olivia , Bromley
The service was excellent and the communication as well! She is friendly and she customises the make up so well depending on your needs.
Fabiana, Bromley
I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough! From the moment I sat in her chair, I knew I was in expert hands. She has a calm, warm presence that immediately puts you at ease, and her professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. She truly listens to what you want and somehow brings it to life even better than you imagined. Whether you're going for a natural, glowing look or full glam, she nails it every time.
Csilla , London
I had the absolute pleasure of having Kelly as my make up artist for my wedding, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She did the make up for me, my two bridesmaids any my mum and we were all thrilled with the results. From the moment she arrived she bought a calm friendly energy that made the whole experience more enjoyable . What truly stood out was how she really listened to what I wanted, and she nailed it. I felt so beautiful and confident all day.
Chloe , London
Thank you Kelly for doing mine and my bridal party's make up, so beautiful and natural looking, and thank you for making the wedding morning relaxed and stress free.
Rhianna , London
Kelly was so lovely to work with! We arranged a trial where I showed her roughly what I wanted and she talked me through each stage/ options making me very comfortable.
On the day she arrived on time and finished mine and my 4 bridesmaids make up in good time. There were no issues and she was lovely to have around the morning of the wedding. Would highly recommend.
Nicola , Bromley
Kelly was wonderful and did a fantastic job with my bridal makeup! She put me at ease as soon as she arrived, and made sure that I could really enjoy getting ready on the big day (rather than feeling too nervous). She was incredibly professional and responsive throughout the whole process (from discussing initial ideas to perfecting the makeup on the day). I was also so happy with the hair styling that her colleague, Barbara, did - it was just what I had pictured!
Tessa C, Bromley
Kelly was not only very helpful to me in sorting out problems with getting things paid from Canada, but also reliable and friendly and confident in her delivery of make up for me on the wedding day. Her manner was kind and relaxing which helped with pre-wedding nerves and she was good at seeking my approval for every step. Kelly did not display even a doubtful moment about my age (59) to be getting married and I felt treated very well by her.
Madeline, Bromley
Kelly was meticulous and took her time to make sure everything was perfect - two days on the trot and in a heatwave! She was so lovely and friendly - it felt like I had a friend doing my make up. I had 2 different looks and both were spot on. Wish she could come and do my make up every weekend!.
Rebecca, Bromley
Kelly really listened to what I wanted when she did my makeup for a friends wedding this yesr. I still felt like me and the makeup she did was so natural, everybody commented how nice it looked. Kelly has a great range of products so you won't be short of options! She is really lovely, chatty and professional and I will definitely be using her for any events I have next year!
Katie O, Bromley
Originally I wasn’t going to get a make up artist, and was just going to do my own make up for my wedding, but then I decided it would take some of the stress out of getting ready to have someone do my make up. Kelly was wonderful- she put me at ease, listened to what I was after and gave me a lovely natural look. She also arranged for her hairdresser colleague Barbara to do our hair and Barbara was also fantastic!!
Emma C, Beckenham
Kelly and Barbra did a wonderful job on make-up and hair. Lovely, natural look. Friendly and approachable service, would definitely recommend.
Nathalie, Bromley
I cannot be more thrilled that I was able to have Kelly do my bridal make up. She understood exactly what I wanted and was full of great ideas. She put me immediately at ease and I have never felt more beautiful. Being 42 I never imagined she would make me look so youthful and glamorous. My skin looked flawless and remarkably I didn’t have to touch up all day and the evening shots still looked magnificent.
Sarah, Beckenham
I have booked Kelly to do my makeup and lashes on several occasions for corporate events and weddings. My makeup always looks incredible and I get so many compliments. Kelly is so warm, friendly and professional. I recommend her to all my friends.
Poppy, Bromley
I found Kelly through a google search for Bridal Make Up in my local area. I was delighted when she was avaliable to not only do my Make Up for my wedding day, but to also do my 4 bridesmaids. A major necessity ticked off my wedding to-do list right there. We arranged a trial, and she came out to my home. Kelly was very professional & took onboard the outcome i wanted. I was curious how Kelly was going to execute the 'natural bride look', but loved it when she gave me the mirror at the end.
Lucy Vazquez, Biggin Hill
I wanted to say a massive thank you for the great job you did on the makeup for my wedding in December. My skin looked amazing and you really did the trick at keeping a natural, pretty look which was so perfect as I don't usually wear much makeup normally. Everyone commented on how fab it looked and the teen bridesmaids looked just stunning with their clean and sparkly look, perfect for a Xmas wedding!
Lisa, Beckenham
I cannot thank the gorgeous Kelly enough for her beautiful bridal makeup creation on my very special day, I was tired from not being able to sleep the night before, it showed! Untill Kelly worked her magic thanks darling!! My saviour highly recommend this very talented make up Artist.
Samantha A, London
Kelly, a huge thank you for the amazing makeup you did for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. The makeup was soft and natural just as I wanted and it lasted all day and night without any touch ups! You made us all feel very relaxed and calm and I would have no hesitation in recommending you.
Claire, Bromley
Kelly was recommended by a mutual friend. I was a little apprehensive at first, but I loved the makeup trial, then booked for the big day. Stephen said I looked radiant, hey that's the result I wanted!!!
Jenny, Chislehurst

Tessa C, Bromley
Kelly did mine and my bridesmaids’ make up for my wedding day. She did an amazing job on all of us and went for make up that was complimentary to each of skin tones and features. Kelly did a fantastic job and I really loved the way we all looked. Highly recommend!
Grace D, Bromley
Not only did Kelly squeeze me in at short notice but she did the most fantastic make up on myself and my bridesmaid for my special day, she made us both feel a million dollars 🥰 I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Julie G, Bromley
Very professional, made us look and feel amazing, makeup for both bride and mother of bride was not cloggy, lasted all day and looked as good as when first on, Kelly listened to our requirementsand made us natural looking, we both looked and felt amazing. Natural false eyelashes were very comfortable with wearing our thicker glasses.A lovely experience, would highly recommend especially if you have combination problamatic skin, are older and don't want to be wearing heavy makeup.
