About Me:

Hello! I'm Karen, the proud owner of Contour & Cuticles, where I provide exceptional professional makeup and nail services right in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. As a VTCT-certified makeup artist and a Bio Sculpture-accredited nail technician, I specialise in creating stunning wedding and special occasion looks. My ultimate goal is to ensure that brides and their wedding parties not only look stunning but feel absolutely confident—just as you’ve envisioned your special day.

My passion for makeup stems from my own experiences. After overcoming challenges with oily skin, I dedicated myself to mastering both skincare and makeup techniques. This journey has equipped me with a diverse kit designed to accommodate various skin types and tones, ensuring that every client feels comfortable and beautiful.

Though I’m relatively new to the professional scene, my enthusiasm and dedication to my craft are unwavering. I truly believe that achieving the perfect makeup look on such a significant day is essential.

Services I Offer:

At Contour & Cuticles, I offer tailored makeup services for brides, bridesmaids, and any special family members who wish to look their best on your big day.

I am passionate about using cruelty-free products and always prioritise vegan options whenever possible. My commitment to quality ensures that I use only the finest makeup brands, including Lisa Eldridge, Hourglass, Tarte, Tatcha, Charlotte Tilbury, VB Beauty, and Anastasia Beverly Hills. These products are not only ethically sourced but also designed to last throughout your celebration with minimal touch-ups required. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the joyous moments of your wedding day.

While consultations and trials are not mandatory, they are highly recommended. I invite you to my cozy home salon in Chesterfield, where we can collaborate to create the perfect look just for you.

Traveling Beyond Chesterfield:

I’m excited to travel beyond Derbyshire to areas such as Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire. I also offer customisable packages tailored to the size of your bridal party and any travel needs, ensuring a flawless experience that meets your unique requirements.

At Contour & Cuticles, my passion meets professionalism, making it my pleasure to be part of your special day. Let’s work together to create a look that you’ll love and cherish in every photograph!
