“Prom is the perfect excuse to have a little fun with your makeup! Whether that’s soft and glowy or full-on glam, I want you to look in the mirror and think, yep, I look fabulous!”

— Polly, Makeup by Polly

Prom Makeup in Windermere & Cumbria

Big night, gorgeous makeup, and one less thing to worry about!

Prom is one of those occasions where you want to feel extra special. You’ve found the dress, planned the hair, and now it’s time for the makeup!

Whether you’re dreaming of soft, glowy skin with a little sparkle or something more glamorous, I can help create a look that suits you, your outfit and your personality.

 

Prom makeup that still feels like you

 

I love makeup that enhances your natural features rather than hiding them.

We can keep things fresh and pretty, with glowing skin, soft pinks and fluttery lashes, or add a little more drama if that’s your thing.

The most important part? You feel comfortable, confident and absolutely fabulous when you head off to celebrate.

 

Professional prom makeup in the Lake District

 

Based in Windermere, I offer professional prom makeup appointments, subject to availability.

We’ll chat about the look you’re hoping for, and you’re always welcome to bring inspiration pictures.

After all, it’s your prom, your face and your chance to have a little fun with makeup!

Getting ready for prom?

Get in touch with your prom date and the time you need to be ready, and I’ll let you know about availability.

Mothers of the bride deserve a little love too! 🩷 Mothers of the bride deserve a little love too! 🩷

It’s such a special day for them as well, and they deserve to feel every bit as beautiful and confident as the bride.

A little glam, a little pampering and their moment to shine too!

“Oh, I look lovely! Can’t even see my wrinkles tha “Oh, I look lovely! Can’t even see my wrinkles that much!” 😂

The next day Anne left me a Google review saying I’d made her look 10 years younger!

I’m guessing she was happy with her makeup then?

Is 2026 the year of the clean girl makeup? Fresh Is 2026 the year of the clean girl makeup? 

Fresh skin, soft definition, a little glow and makeup that doesn’t really look like makeup.

This gorgeous bridesmaid had actually been a bride herself just a month earlier, so she knew EXACTLY what she wanted and what suited her. My kind of girl! 

But I bet there’s a lot more makeup on her face than you think?!

That’s the beauty of this look. It’s not necessarily about using less makeup, it’s about making it look like you’re barely wearing any.

Effortless looking? Yes. Effortless to create? Not quite but that’s why you can book me!

This gorgeous bride had TWO trials with me, and wh This gorgeous bride had TWO trials with me, and what we ended up doing on her wedding day was completely different to where we started!
 
From BIG lashes and full glam… to barely-there, pinky, pretty makeup! 💗

Sometimes you think you know what you want… until you actually see it on your face when you get home…And that’s absolutely fine!

Imagine trying to figure all that out on the morning of your wedding?! 😅 No thank you!

By the time her wedding day came around, we both knew EXACTLY what we were doing. No second guessing, no stress, just a lovely relaxed morning and a bride who looked absolutely incredible.

And can I just say something? PLEASE tell me if you don’t like something! 

Too much bronzer? Tell me. Lashes feel too big? Tell me. Want to try something completely different? I’m all ears!

I’m not the big bad makeup witch! 🧙‍♀️😂 You’re not going to offend me, I promise.

My job isn’t to convince you that you look amazing in makeup you’re not comfortable wearing. It’s to make YOU feel amazing.

But you’ve got to talk to me so we can get there together! 💗

And this gorgeous girl is proof that sometimes less really is more. ✨

Let’s talk trials… 💄 A bridal makeup trial is so Let’s talk trials… 💄

A bridal makeup trial is so much more than just having your makeup done. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other, have a good chat about what you love (and what you really don’t!) and figure out what makes you feel your absolute best.

But here’s the thing… trials aren’t compulsory!

If you’ve had a good look through my work, love my style, have a pretty clear idea of what you want and you’re happy to put your trust in me, then you might not need one.

Some brides love the reassurance of a trial, others are more than happy to leave it until the big day. And I’m absolutely fine with either!

There’s no right or wrong. It’s your face, your wedding and ultimately, I want you to feel comfortable and confident with whatever you decide.

LOVE this reaction💗 “I feel like a princess… and LOVE this reaction💗

“I feel like a princess… and I don’t feel like a princess very often.”

All she asked for was pinky, glowy makeup. Nothing too much. But that little smile in the mirror and what she said afterwards? 

Because everyone deserves to look in the mirror and feel a bit gorgeous, don’t they?! 💕

The reaction, “I look like a girl.” I always love The reaction, “I look like a girl.”

I always love an inspo pic. Although I have to admit I still feel nervous when the mirror is handed over incase my client isn’t happy!
Stephanie’s bridal makeup story… When we did her Stephanie’s bridal makeup story…

When we did her trial earlier in the year, Stephanie went full glam, exactly as requested.

A little while later, I got a message…

“I think I want to go more natural.”

Then, on the morning of the wedding:

“Actually… I want to go even more natural. I don’t know what I was thinking with the glam I never wear strong makeup. I just want to feel like me.”

And my goodness, was the girl right.

Soft, fresh, glowing and completely her. 

And swipe to the end for photographic evidence that bridal makeup is apparently a contact sport. 😂 I promise Stephanie left unharmed.

If you’re a bridal makeup artist, you KNOW. “I w If you’re a bridal makeup artist, you KNOW. 

“I want to look natural…”
Also: lashes, a proper eye, glowy skin, bronzer, blush, coverage… but NATURAL.

And the thing is — I completely understand! Some people speak French 🇫🇷 or Spanish 🇪🇸,I speak Bride 👰!

You want to look like you. Just really, really good.

Whatever “natural” means to you, that’s what your trial is for.

“Oh Polly, you did it!” Followed immediately by… “ “Oh Polly, you did it!”
Followed immediately by… “SHE’S BACK.”

This is the level of mirror reaction I’m aiming for!

The confidence. The face. The, HELLO here I am moment.

Makeup didn’t bring her back…but it did make sure she arrived looking fabulous.
