Bridal Makeup
Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life, and I believe your makeup should feel effortless, timeless, and completely you. I love creating bridal looks that enhance your natural beauty, so you feel confident, comfortable, and photo-ready from the first look to the last dance.
Bridal makeup doesn’t have to feel heavy or overdone. I focus on creating looks that look incredible in photos and feel great in person. From the initial inquiry to the final wedding-day touches, I’m there to guide you, take care of the little details, and make sure your morning is calm, smooth, and enjoyable — so you can focus on what really matters: celebrating your love.
The bridal Makeup ProcessFrom Inquiry To “I Do”
01. Get In Touch
Begin by submitting an inquiry through my Contact page. I’ll confirm my availability as your bridal makeup artist in Lisbon or your chosen destination in Portugal and learn more about your vision for your wedding day look.
02. Custom Proposal
If I’m available, I’ll create a tailored bridal makeup proposal that outlines my services, pricing, and next steps. This ensures everything is clear, organized, and designed to make your wedding makeup booking simple and stress-free.
03. Makeup Preview
Around 2–3 months before your wedding, we’ll meet for a dedicated preview session. This is where we refine your bridal look together - ensuring your makeup feels timeless, comfortable, and perfect for both photos and real life.
04. The Wedding Day
On your wedding day, I’ll be a calm presence by your side, making sure your bridal makeup looks fresh and flawless from start to finish. From touch-ups to final details, you can relax and enjoy every moment without worry.

My Commitment To You

Beyond makeup artistry, I bring structure and coordination to your day. Every detail is thoughtfully planned to ensure your schedule flows seamlessly and you feel completely at ease.
A makeup artist who puts your experience first
I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings each year and only book one wedding per day. This way, I can dedicate my full energy and attention to creating a personalized beauty experience for you.
A love note:“I cannot express enough in words how amazing you made me feel”
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Helena for my wedding in Sintra, Portugal, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. Planning a destination wedding from Chicago came with its challenges, but she made the entire experience so easy, fun, and stress-free. From our first communication to the big day, she was professional, kind, and incredibly talented.
Not only did she create the bridal look of my dreams - elegant, glowing, and exactly what I envisioned - but she also made my entire bridal party feel stunning and special. Everyone looked beautiful and felt so comfortable in their makeup all day (and night!). Her calming presence and sweet personality were such a gift to have on the morning of the wedding.
