I am a Bridal makeup specialist. I am lucky enough to be one of Ireland's most esteemed freelance make up artists. Myself and my family (husband & dog Linus) have recently relocated to the stunning Algarve - I am available throughout Portugal. 

There is nothing better then being part of a bride’s big day, if only for a small part of it. To make up brides, their family & friends is such an honour; making you all feel like a million dollars.With over twenty-five years experience in the industry, I regularly contribute to leading fashion publications and I’m a frequent contributor on Irish television programmes such as The Late Late show, Ireland AM the Afternoon show. I also had my weekly slot on “Xpose” a fashion magazine programme. I have also had the privilege to make up a host of celebrities for different red carpet events such as the BAFTAs, VIP Style Awards the IFTAs (Irish film and television awards). With a hands on, down to earth approach to makeup, my philosophy is that your wedding day is a very important day in your life, so I will work to make it even more memorable.

Using my own award winning make up brand "Ken Boylan - Make Up/Play” and other fantastic brands, I will help you to achieve the perfect look for your special day.
