Celebrating 12 years of the By Jodie team
London and the South East
Makeup Team
Bridal Designer
Emma has always had a passion for makeup. Her mum was a beautician, she owned a salon for over 25 years and then went on to be a freelance makeup artist. She was always teaching Emma tricks and tips about skincare and makeup. She trained at the prestigious DFMA academy in London and is now a freelance makeup artist across London, Surrey, Kent, Middlesex, Berkshire and Hampshire.
Emma’s passion is wedding makeup – it is so special and an honour to be asked to be part of a bride’s big day. She enjoys nothing more than creating flawless make up for brides, ensuring that her client feels confident, looks beautiful but still retains their individual style.
Her style and ethos revolve around creating fresh & modern makeup looks for her style savvy clients. Stunning natural and flawless make up to accentuate the natural beauty of her clients. She feels makeup should be bespoke to you, your skin tone and type, seen rather than felt on the skin, ensuring a natural feel is so important to Emma. She understands and has the skills to create make up that both photographs beautifully and looks wonderful up close.
She is is constantly challenging herself by throwing herself into masterclasses with top makeup brands such as NARS, MAC, Armani, Bobbi Brown and Charlotte Tilbury to name a few and pushing boundaries by experimenting with new trends, styles and techniques she learns. She follows the world’s leading hair and makeup artists on social media, and is constantly trying new looks that inspire her.

From the moment I first contacted Emma to discuss makeup for my wedding she was friendly and helpful. At the trial she was really interested in getting a good idea of the look I wanted and also other details about the wedding to ensure that the makeup would be right for the day. She took her time thinking about what would work for my skin and the finished product was great! As someone who doesn't wear a lot of make up I was quite apprehensive about the amount I thought I would need to wear on my wedding day but Emma put me at ease and reassured me that it would still look very natural - and it did! On the big day, Emma was prompt and ready to start at the time agreed. We got delayed at the hairdressers but Emma was able to adapt to the different timings without problems. Everyone said how lovely Emma was and it was a pleasure to have her with us in the morning to help us get ready. Emma made us so comfortable and relaxed and myself, my 3 bridesmaids and Mum were all so happy with how we looked. (she also was a star and helped my Dad fix his buttonhole as we were about to leave the house!). I'm so happy I found Emma on Instagram and would happily recommend to anyone looking for wedding makeup! Thank you so much Emma xSarah Gowing, Bride

I booked in with Emma for a bridal trial. Emma made me feel comfortable and was really professional. She talked me through the makeup she’d be using and asked lots of questions about my skin and the look I wanted. She listened and catered to my needs. I was so pleased with how my make up turned out and it lasted really long on my face.I couldn’t recommend Emma highly enough. I will definitely be booking Emma to do my makeup for my wedding day. Thanks again Emma!Grainne, Bride to be

Emma is absolutely fantastic at doing make up, I could not recommend her more. I recently went to a wedding, booked her in and it was the best decision! She made me feel fab right from the beginning, picked out amazing colours for my eyes and my skin looked so fresh, glowey & flawless. I got so many compliments on the day and it lasted right until the end of the night! Her makeup technique is amazing, she is a natural at putting everyone around her at ease and she really listens to what her client wants. She has an amazing attention to detail, making your face a work of art! She is a beautiful human inside and out and will forever be my first make up artist of choice. Thank you Emma and can’t wait to book you in again!Michelle Kenny
