About Elle Hitchens Makeup Artist
Elle Hitchens is a makeup artist with nearly two decades of experience in bridal makeup, having worked as a wedding makeup artist since 2006 across the South West, including Bristol, Bath, The Cotswolds, Wales, Devon, Somerset and Cornwall. Her expertise extends beyond weddings: she also works on commercial, corporate and advertising projects, collaborating with brands, actors, actresses and musicians.
Elle offers a range of makeup services tailored to different needs. Her bridal packages include skincare prep and facial massage to calm nerves and prepare the skin, custom lash application for all clients, and professional makeup application on preview and wedding days. She also provides personalised makeup lessons — one-to-one sessions designed to leave you feeling more knowledgeable about applying your own makeup.
Her kit is built on tried-and-tested products chosen over many years of practice. Elle works with a carefully curated selection of premium brands including NARS, Dior, Laura Mercier, Hourglass and Makeup by Mario, selecting the best tools for each client rather than relying on a single brand. Whether you're preparing for your wedding day, need makeup for a special event, or want to develop your own makeup skills, Elle brings professionalism, experience and a personalised approach to every booking.
