Our story, mission, and the talented team behind our services
"True beauty is about enhancing what nature gave you, not changing who you are." — François Nars, Makeup Artist & Founder of NARS Cosmetics
Silver Marsh was founded in 2015 by Emma Bennett, a celebrated makeup artist with over 15 years of experience in the fashion and beauty industry. After working on numerous fashion shows, editorial photoshoots, and with celebrities across Europe, Emma recognized a need for personalized, high-quality makeup services that focused on enhancing individual beauty rather than following fleeting trends.
Starting with a small studio and a passion for transformative makeup, Silver Marsh quickly gained recognition for its attentive service, technical expertise, and ability to make every client feel confident and beautiful. As word spread, our team expanded to include talented visagistes with diverse backgrounds and specialties.
Today, Silver Marsh is proud to serve clients across the UK for weddings, special events, editorial work, and personal makeup education. Our approach combines classical techniques with contemporary aesthetics, ensuring timeless beauty for every client we serve.
At Silver Marsh, we believe that makeup should enhance natural beauty, not mask it. Our approach is centered on understanding each client's unique features, preferences, and the specific requirements of their event or occasion.
We are committed to creating looks that not only photograph beautifully but also make our clients feel authentically themselves—just an elevated version. Whether it's a bride on her wedding day, a model for a fashion editorial, or someone wanting to learn better everyday techniques, our goal remains the same: to reveal and celebrate each person's unique beauty.
We strive for perfection in every application, using premium products and techniques to achieve flawless results that exceed expectations.
We celebrate each client's unique features and personality, creating custom looks that enhance natural beauty rather than following generic trends.
We build relationships based on reliability, transparency, and understanding of our clients' needs and concerns.
We embrace diversity in all forms and are committed to making every client feel welcome, respected, and beautiful in their own skin.
We believe in empowering clients through knowledge, sharing techniques and tips that help them feel confident in their own makeup application.
We continuously explore new techniques, products, and approaches to stay at the forefront of the beauty industry while honoring timeless principles.
Our talented team of visagistes brings diverse expertise, creative vision, and professional experience to every client interaction.
