Storme
Makeup Artist & Qualified Hairdresser
(Founder and Head Artist)
I’m a Surrey-based wedding makeup artist and hairstylist with 17 years of experience. Professionally trained in both makeup artistry and hairdressing, although cutting and colouring wasn’t for me! My father worked at Cape Town Cuty Free, which fueled my passion for makeup by being able to bring home copious amounts of makeup and beauty products for me to play with! (I was a luck gal!) Ever since a child I have had a love for the beauty world and knew that it was my calling.
After graduating from school, in Cape town, South Africa – I enrolled in a Makeup and Special Effects course at The Makeup Issue in 2008. I then went on to do my hairdressing Diploma with Carlton Hair International and qualified as a hairdresser in 2010.
Whilst studying, I worked part-time at Bobbi Brown and MAC Cosmetics, which allowed me to learn and explore the different fields within the makeup industry.
By being strong in both hair and makeup, I’ve had the privilege of being represented by a leading agency in Cape Town, Gloss Artist Management. This allowed me to work on many International photo shoots and commercials such as Lipsy, Coca Cola, Timberland, Jack Wills to name a few. When I first moved to London, I still kept a foot in Television and worked Al Jazeera English News channel.
Since getting married myself and when I moved to London in early 2015, my focus and passion has been within the wedding industry. Having experienced what brides go through first hand, really opened my eyes as to what goes into a wedding. I had a new love for the industry and have an understanding and patience for working with brides-to-be. I can honestly say I share their excitement and enthusiasm.
I’ve experienced how one feels on the wedding morning and that a relaxed, calm, highly skilled and confident person doing your hair and makeup is crucial. Someone that understands your vision, and allows you to be THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF ON YOUR DAY!
I have several luxury brands in my kit including Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Channel, Bobbi Brown, Huda, Charlotte Tilbury & Hourglass to name a few.
