Makeup Artist Natalie Ravenscroft

My NEW page… please follow if you wish to continue on my journey! ###

🤍 A little update & a new chapter 🤍

You may have noticed a new page pop up — so I wanted to properly introduce it.

This is still me, Natalie, and I’m still offering the same bridal makeup services many of you know me for. Over the years my work has naturally grown to include skin-led beauty, semi-permanent makeup and advanced aesthetics, so I’ve taken the opportunity to gently refresh my branding to reflect that.

I’ll be slowly transitioning from my original makeup page to this one over the coming weeks. This is simply to ensure everything is set up correctly behind the scenes, as I’ve had some ongoing admin and account issues with the old page and want to protect my business moving forward.

Nothing is changing for my clients — just a new space that better represents the work I do today 🤍

Thank you so much for your continued support, and please do follow along here as I share more bridal work, portfolio pieces and updates.

✨ Hello (or hello again!) ✨

For anyone new here — I’m Natalie 🤍
I’m a bridal makeup artist with over 17 years of experience, and alongside makeup I also specialise in skin preparation and advanced skincare for brides.

My makeup artistry business came first, and in October 2024 I went on to open The Beauty Emporium in Church Stretton — my salon and latest venture, which I’m incredibly proud of.

I work with my brides not just on the wedding morning, but in the months leading up to the big day, helping them achieve healthy, glowing skin that allows makeup to look its absolute best.

Alongside bridal makeup, I offer:
• Professional facials
• Microneedling
• Chemical peels
• Skin boosters
• Anti-wrinkle injections
• Medical-grade aesthetic consultations
• Tropic Skincare for home care
• (Coming soon) semi-permanent brows

When I’m not in the salon, I also work as a registered paramedic, which means care, safety and professionalism are always at the heart of everything I do.

If you’d like to see more of the treatments I offer and meet my self-employed team, feel free to follow too 🤍

If you’re a 2026 bride and want a calm, supportive approach to both your skin and makeup journey, you’re in exactly the right place.

✨ Did you know your bridal makeup preparation should start months before the wedding day? ✨

As well as being a bridal makeup artist, I also work extensively with skin preparation and advanced skincare, helping my brides achieve healthy, glowing skin long before the big day.

I offer a wide range of skin-focused treatments and skincare support, including:
• Professional facials (including express options)
• Microneedling
• Chemical peels
• Skin boosters
• Anti-wrinkle injections
• Medical-grade aesthetic consultations & treatments
• Tropic Skincare for effective, long-term home care

✨ Coming soon — I’ll also be offering semi-permanent makeup, including microblading and combination / powder brows, ideal for brides wanting effortless, polished brows that last.

For my 2026 brides, the earlier you start your skin journey, the better. Starting early allows us to create a personalised plan that suits your skin, your timeline and your budget — whether that’s regular express facials with good home care, or more advanced aesthetic treatments.

There truly is something for everyone, and the options are endless.

If you’re newly engaged and want to feel your most confident, glowing self on your wedding day, please feel free to drop me a message in confidence — I’d love to help guide you 🤍

📩 DM me “BRIDAL SKIN” to chat through options or to secure your date.

🤍 A little from the heart today 🤍

Today has been one of those days where being a small business owner feels especially heavy. Some changes arrive with very little warning, and when you care deeply about what you’ve built — and the people within it — those moments can really knock you.

While one member of the team will be leaving with very little notice, I’m also really excited to say that a new one will be joining us. Transitions can feel unsettling at first, especially when they aren’t planned, but they’re also part of growth and moving forward.

What hasn’t changed is my commitment to this space, the calm and supportive environment we’ve created, and every single client who continues to support us. That remains at the heart of everything I do.

I’m so pleased to share that Kay will be joining us from 5th February, bringing fresh energy and new availability into the salon — and I can’t wait to introduce her properly very soon 🤍

Thank you for your patience, loyalty and kindness. It truly means more than you’ll ever know.

Nat xx

✨ Something exciting is coming to The Beauty Emporium this January… ✨

After months of advanced training, I’m SO excited to announce that I’ll be launching my brand new Semi-Permanent Makeup Clinic right here in the salon! 💉✨

You’ll soon be able to book in for Microblading and Powder Brows — two of the most in-demand brow treatments that let you wake up with perfect brows every single day.

💫 Microblading – uses a fine handheld tool to create realistic, hair-like strokes that blend seamlessly with your natural brows. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a soft and natural finish.
💫 Powder Brows – created using a digital machine to gently implant pigment for a soft, shaded “makeup” effect — ideal if you love a bit more definition or already have previous brow work.

Both techniques are long-lasting, giving you beautifully shaped, low-maintenance brows that last around 12–18 months depending on your skin type and aftercare.

Keep your eyes peeled because before my official launch, I’ll be looking for a few case study models and running a competition for some lucky winners to get this treatment completely FREE! 👀

Considering a top semi-permanent makeup artist in Shropshire charges around £375 for a set of brows, this really will be an offer worth shouting about! 😉

✨ Regional Finalist – The Wedding Industry Awards 2026 ✨

I can’t quite believe I’m saying this, but I’m officially a Regional Finalist for the West Midlands in The Wedding Industry Awards for Bridal Makeup Artist of the Year! 🥹💄

I’m genuinely over the moon to have made it this far — especially as I juggle my makeup brushes with ambulance shifts, mum life, and salon chaos! 🚑💋👶

I’m definitely not expecting to win (some of the artists in my category are full-time glam machines and absolute pros 👑), but just reaching the finals feels like a huge achievement in itself.

The awards ceremony is on Monday 10th November at Albrighton Hall in Shrewsbury — so if you hear a faint squeal of excitement (or panic about what to wear), that’ll be me! 😂

Massive thank you to all my amazing brides who took the time to vote — I couldn’t have done it without you. 💕

✨ Beauty has no age ✨
Makeup isn’t about hiding — it’s about enhancing. Mature skin deserves just as much glow, confidence, and care as any other. With the right products and techniques, makeup can look fresh, radiant, and timeless at every stage of life 💄💫
