Sophie McDermott is a luxury bridal and event make-up artist, originally from Australia and based in Europe through the wedding season.

Her signature is natural, glowing make-up that works with a bride's own features rather than covering them, built on experience across bridal, event and fashion work. Sophie is meticulous about detail and attentive through the whole process, which is what international clients tend to single out, since booking an artist you haven't met in person takes a certain amount of trust.

We love her for brides marrying in Italy who want a fresh, luminous look and an artist already in Europe for the season.

Good to know: Sophie focuses on make-up, so she's usually booked alongside a hair stylist.
