ABOUT THE ARTIST

Lian is the kind of artist you remember — effortlessly glamorous, incredibly warm and with a personality that makes every bride feel instantly at ease.

With an eye for fashion, beauty and the finer details, Lian has built a reputation for creating bridal looks that feel elevated, modern and unmistakably you. Her signature style is luxurious yet effortless, combining beautiful skin, polished hair and timeless glamour with an editorial edge.

As Executive Senior Artist at Bridalby, Lian is deeply passionate about the experience as much as the finished look. From the first consultation to the final touch before walking down the aisle, she brings energy, expertise and an unwavering attention to detail to every wedding.

Fun, driven and genuinely invested in her brides, Lian believes luxury should never feel intimidating. Her chair is a place for laughter, excitement and a little bit of champagne-worthy glamour — all while knowing you are in exceptionally experienced hands.

For Lian, no detail is too small and no bridal vision is too ambitious. Whether you're dreaming of modern minimalism, old-Hollywood glamour or a fashion-forward statement look, she is passionate about bringing it to life beautifully.


Beauty background


With over 15 years of experience in the beauty industry, Lian is an award-winning, internationally published hair and makeup artist specialising in luxury bridal styling.

Based in the Worcestershire countryside, Lian works with brides throughout the UK and internationally, bringing a wealth of experience from weddings, editorial shoots, catwalks, celebrity styling and high-profile events.

Holding a degree in Media Makeup and Hair and trained directly by Ruth, founder of Bridalby, Lian combines technical expertise with a highly creative eye. She is fully accredited and insured and works exclusively with professional, luxury beauty products to create beautifully refined looks designed to photograph flawlessly and last from the first glass of champagne to the final dance.

Her approach is completely bespoke. Lian takes the time to understand her bride — her personal style, dress, venue, wedding aesthetic and how she wants to feel on the day — before creating a look that enhances her natural beauty rather than disguising it.

As Executive Senior Artist at Bridalby, Lian is recognised for her ability to deliver the signature Bridalby aesthetic while adding her own fashion-forward creativity and meticulous attention to detail.

Her purpose-built hair, makeup and photography studio, tucked away in the Worcestershire countryside, offers the perfect private setting for bridal trials — a calm and luxurious space where your wedding beauty journey begins.

For Lian, bridal beauty isn't simply about looking beautiful. It's about creating the moment where you look in the mirror and think, “This is exactly how I imagined I would feel.”


Favourite product


Hourglass • Rare Beauty • Dior

“I’m a huge believer that beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin, and these are three brands I’m constantly reaching for in my kit.

Hourglass is a favourite for creating that polished, perfected bridal finish. Their complexion and finishing products give skin the most beautiful soft-focus effect while still keeping it looking fresh and luminous.

Rare Beauty is perfect for adding that gorgeous, effortless flush of colour. I love how little product you need to create a beautiful, naturally radiant finish — especially when I want the skin to feel fresh and modern.

And then there’s Dior — because every luxury kit needs a little Dior. Their products add that final touch of glamour and sophistication that I absolutely love.

I’m always testing, discovering and refining the products in my kit, but the one thing that never changes is my goal: beautiful, elevated makeup that looks incredible in real life and even better in photographs.


From the artist

“My favourite part of being a bridal hair and makeup artist is that I don't simply get to create the look — I get to be part of the story.

I love meeting a bride at her trial, hearing all about her plans, her dress, her venue and the little details she's been dreaming about, and then watching everything come together on the morning of her wedding.

There is something incredibly special about being there during those final hours. The excitement, the nerves, the laughter, the champagne, the people she loves most around her — and then that moment when everything goes quiet and she sees herself as a bride for the very first time.

That reaction will never get old.

I feel incredibly lucky to do what I do, and I never take for granted the trust a bride places in me on one of the most important days of her life.

My goal is always for my brides to feel the very best version of themselves — confident, beautiful and completely themselves.

Because the most beautiful bridal look isn't just one that photographs beautifully.

It's the one that makes you feel unforgettable.”
