Meet Natalie
Natalie is a professional and qualified make up artist and teacher and has been working in the beauty and make up industry for 24 years.
Having initially trained in beauty therapy at Clarendon College in Nottingham, Natalie then went on to train further in skin and skincare by working with Dermalogica and with theatrical make up companies, Grimas and Art Deco before finishing her official training at The London School of Make Up.
​
Natalie has spent the last 15 years of her career specialising in bridal make up and has had her make up work and educational articles published in a number of print and online bridal magazines including, Rock n Roll Bride, Your Wedding, Brides Up North, Want That Wedding and Save The Date.
In addition to her published bridal work, Natalie is also well known for her work within the transgender and LGTBQ+ community, helping many trans ladies and men adapt to the physical side of transitioning with help and guidance on make up, skincare and styling.
​
Whilst Natalie continues to take on new clients and wedding bookings, she has taken a slight step back to concentrate on educating others and in 2019 she began her teacher training and set up her own make up and skin care training school, Contutti School of Make Up. Natalie has written courses approved and accredited by Professional Beauty Direct and enjoys helping others begin their own career in make up artistry.
​
Bridal make up is generally booked 12 months in advance, if Natalie is unavailable for your wedding date she will happily put you in touch with other trusted and professional artists who she has either trained herself or worked with in the past. If you are searching for a professional make up artist then do not hesitate to get in touch!
