Ellie Wilkins
Founder & Lead Artist

Meet Ellie
From the moment I first got my hands on a mascara wand (borrowed from my mum, of course), I was hooked. Growing up dancing meant I was often in red lipstick and blue eyeshadow — not a combination I’ve revisited! — but once I was able to create my own looks, I completely fell in love with the art of makeup. I’d spend hours experimenting on myself and anyone who’d sit still long enough, though it wasn’t until later that I realised this passion could become a career.
In 2016, I trained at a prestigious makeup academy in London. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to refining my skills, specialising in soft glam that strikes the perfect balance between natural and elevated. While I’m always open to a creative challenge, bridal makeup is my main focus. It’s a genuine honour to be part of such a special day, and I never take that for granted.
In 2023, I opened my own studio space, and in 2024 I was proud to be named a finalist for Makeup Artist of the Year — a milestone that marked the beginning of something bigger. That same year, I began building Élevé: a brand and team grounded in artistry, care, and intention. We officially launch in 2025, reflecting everything I’ve learned over nearly a decade in the bridal industry.
What I love most is the connection I build with each client. Understanding your preferences and personality allows me to create a look that feels just like you. That feeling of confidence you radiate when you love how you look — that’s the moment I work for every time.
My approach in the chair is calm, collaborative, and detail-focused. I take time to consult thoroughly, combining my expertise with your vision to create something truly personal. Above all, I want every client to feel welcomed, listened to, and confident from the moment they sit down to the final setting spray.
