Get to know me
Hi I'm Rachel and I help makeup-shy brides go from dreading the thought of heavy wedding makeup to loving how they look and feel in their skin on the most important day of their life.
I know how scary it can be to put someone else in charge of how you look but having worked with thousands of women of all ages in my 15 years as a makeup artist; I am very experienced in reassuring even the most nervous makeup wearer. Before working with me, most brides feel unsure, overwhelmed and afraid of looking too ‘made up’. But on their wedding day, they feel radiant, relaxed and truly themselves, just with a little extra glow.
Away from the world of weddings...
I absolutely love theme parks and spend most of my days off in one! I'm a Merlin Passholder and you can often find me frequenting Chessington or Legoland with my family. We just came back from Disneyland and Universal California, and are planning our next Disney trip.
I'm a keen runner, and ran the London Marathon in April 2026. Yes, I'm that girl who checks her Strava stats before she's even made it home...
I also teach Baby Sensory classes, which I absolutely love!
I was late diagnosed ADHD (which has helped to explain a lot of why I am the way I am!) and I also have hearing loss in my left ear, so I wear a hearing aid.
My Spotify playlist is filled with musicals, 00s pop, disney, mash ups... and I also love listening to the Mel Robbins Podcast - I was the top 0.5% of listeners to her podcast on Spotify last year..! My only ask, is please don't put me in charge of music on your wedding morning! It will probably be a mix of Disney, musicals, or whatever songs my kids are currently into (unfortunately anything by the minions is their current favourite... )
My story
I'd never really thought about getting married or weddings in general until, just under 8 years ago I went on a Tinder date that would change the course of my life forever. I came home to my housemate Sophie and said, "I've just met my future husband" and, it turns out, I was right - 2 children and a global pandemic later, we were married at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond in November 2021.
It was in the lead up to my own big day, whilst on maternity leave from my make-up counter manager role, that I realised weddings were my calling. My favourite clients were always the future brides who came in wanting to learn how to do their own make-up for the biggest day on their life, and I always felt so privileged to know I was a small part of their story.
I'd already been a make-up artist for a number of years, helping to beautify the public of Bristol and later London - specifically Oxford Street, where I worked in the iconic Selfridges and John Lewis stores. In June 2022, after maternity leave, Rachel Eveline Makeup was born.
Since then, I've been supporting brides and couples on the biggest day of their lives in London, Surrey and the Southeast.
I've worked with some of the most talented hair and makeup artists in the industry and trained with makeup icons Kristina Gasperas and Laura Carroll.
I'm the Prestige Awards South England Bridal Makeup Artist of the Year for 4 years running 2023 - 2027 and I have also won the 'Hitched Wedding Awards' for the last 3 years. I have been named a Regional finalist in 'The Wedding Industry Awards' 2024, 2025 and 2026 where I have been nominated as 'Best Makeup Artist'. I have just been awarded the 'Highly Commended Regional Finalist 2026' in TWIA
I know all the mixed feelings you are going to feel on your wedding day: the nervous energy, the butterflies... I want to make sure your getting ready experience is fun, relaxed and most importantly, stress-free! I pride myself on the calm energy I bring to your wedding morning, and I cannot wait to go on this special journey with you.
