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.
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. Kelly's knowledge of products advice and empathise our good points and downplay bad was superb. Would want to book her everyday for makeup as we both felt and looked a million dollars.

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.

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!

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! I felt very well taken care of, and thoroughly recommend both of them!

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. Perdip was also very kind and thoughtful and came as expected and delivered our hair as planned. She was also relaxed in her manner and funny, helping me to put the wedding day in perspective. I would definitely recommend both Kelly and Perdip to anyone else planning their wedding day..

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!.

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!

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. I had a wonderful morning getting ready with the pair of them and would highly recommend them both. She communicated well beforehand and I also felt her prices were fair.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!!
