My Story
Hi I’m Natalie, also known as mum, wife, friend and not to mention a complete makeup geek!
I’m a freelance Bridal and Special Occasion Hair & Makeup Artist based in Hedge End, Hampshire and the face behind Bridal Beauty By Natalie West.
Although I now reside in the warmer climes of the south coast of England, I am originally from Liverpool so a true northern girl at heart. Warm, welcoming and lots of fun are just some of the words my friends would use to describe me.
From very early childhood hair & makeup has been my passion. If there was ever an occasion to dress up it would be me with the makeup brush in one hand and a hair brush in the other.
Although self-taught, I went on to study at the London School of Makeup to broaden my knowledge and skillset. I am part of an industry leading education academy for hair and makeup artists that offers the latest and most up do date continuous professional development. As a creative stylist it is so important to me that I can offer my clients the best experience possible.
For me, I believe makeup is so much more than the aesthetics, it’s what it does on the inside that gives it its superpower.
I am a fully qualified hairdresser and have attended multiple masterclasses with leading artists in the industry to hone my knowledge and technics of boho, classic & elegant modern bridal hair styling. From Hollywood waves to a low textured bun, your hair and makeup should work together in perfect harmony and represent YOU.
If you are looking for a hair & makeup artist who brings out your natural beauty in all its glory, someone who will listen to ensure we achieve the perfect vision whilst keeping you relaxed and smiling throughout then please get in touch, id love to hear from you!
I had a bridal makeup trial with Natalie and it was just gorgeous! She so perfectly did everything from skin care right through to the makeup and final touches. I felt so well looked after and had never looked better, my makeup lasted all day!

I had my graduation make up done by Natalie and I was in love with it! The photos all came out amazingly, I felt so confident and she was so so lovely, friendly and funny! I felt very comfortable and in good hands ☺️

I can not rate Natalie high enough. I was let down at the last minute by another MUA. I was staying in Southampton and she was my fairy godmother and came to the rescue.
I asked for a look that was not her “normal” and although she may not normally have chosen this style of make up, it was perfect and she left me feeling a million dollars. My hair and make up held perfectly for the photoshoot and the photographer complimented them too. If I’m ever back in southhampton I know who I will be calling. Thank you Natalie

Natalie recently did my make-up for when I was bridesmaid at a wedding. She followed the brief perfectly and my make-up was flawless. Her attention to detail on the eyes was amazing. I genuinely received compliments all day about my make-up and it stayed on well into the night. I was so impressed – I wish Natalie could do my makeup everyday!!
Nina Bradley
It was great fun being pampered by Natalie while she did my makeup….I felt amazing afterwards. She’s such a lovely lady! Natalie took into account my skin tone and eye colour which made my eyes really pop with some gorgeous eyeshadow colours. I also loved the lipstick she used on me. A great experience and I’d recommend Natalie to anyone looking to have their makeup done.

Natalie did my make up for me when I was bridesmaid at my brothers wedding. I was so happy with my make up, I felt amazing & confident! I got so many compliments and it stayed put all day and night. Thank you Natalie 🙂
Laura Howard
Natalie did my bridal make up and make up for four of my bridesmaids. She was able to adapt to my preference of make up and helped me get the bridal look that I wanted. On the day of my wedding Natalie was great at calming my nerves as she’s full of energy and made lots of jokes. Thank you Natalie! X
Sophie Bulman
Natalie did my hair and makeup for my wedding in September, I told her what I liked, the look I was going for and she absolutely outdid even my own expectations – everyone commented on both my hair and make up on the day. Natalie made me so comfortable and talked me through what she was doing as she was doing it, my hair did not move out of place even though I slept that night with it in, the following morning my lashes were still in place and didn’t even come off when I washed my face in the shower so I still looked glam on my train journey to my mini moon would recommend Natalie to any brides/proms/special events she is AMAZING

I cannot recommend Natalie enough! I am someone who doesn’t wear make-up on a daily basis so I put all my trust into her using her professional opinion to create this flawless look, and she definitely delivered.
I felt comfortable and at ease through the whole process.

Natalie is extremely professional with the kindest nature that put my daughter at ease. She listened and made sure everything was perfect and nothing was too much trouble. Natalie did hair and make up for my daughters prom and on the day she looked absolutely fabulous and got so many compliments and since from the pictures I took which showed off the fantastic hair and make up to perfection making some beautiful photos. Natalie came to our house which made the whole day even more relaxing. I cannot thank Natalie enough for her patience, kindest and dedication to making sure everything was perfect, and it really was.
