About Us

Hi there my name is Amanda Steed and I am a fully qualified makeup artist who specialises in Bridal makeup. Having trained with the internationally acclaimed Samantha Chapman of Pixiwoo, I started my own Bridal Hair and Makeup business which has grown from strength to strength over the last 10 years. I now employs 5 stylists covering Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire as well as London and European wedding venues.

I’m a mother to 2 boisterous boys and wife to a rugby loving husband and my house is filled with testosterone! I take my solace in retreating to my girl cave and indulging in my love of all things pretty and feminine. I have always loved cosmetics and beauty products, experimenting on my dolls and then moving onto my unsuspecting friends as a teenager! I found that I had an aptitude for makeup and hair and was an avid follower of fashion.

As the years have rolled by I discovered that most of all I love weddings! Being a part of someone’s special day and helping the Bride to look beautiful is the most gratifying job in the world, I can honestly say that I love every minute of it. It can be incredibly early starts and very long days, however at every wedding you get a glimpse into another persons life and become part of their memories which they will cherish.

Nicola Playford our resident hair stylist has been a freelance hair stylist for over 11 years and has been working with us for the last 8 years creating some stunning Bridal hair ups.

Micaa Guttridge is a fully qualified make up artist, she loves all aspects of makeup and creates some beautiful makeup looks for our Brides and Wedding Guests.

Eleanor Norman has recently joined our team of experienced hair and makeup stylists. Ellie is a level 2 qualified makeup artist with lots of experience with Bridal and Photoshoot makeup. She is also qualified at Bridal Hair to a high standard, it is great to have her working with us.

For all our stylists work please do follow us on Facebook, Makeup by Amanda Steed and Instagram, Amanda_Steed_Makeup, where I update regularly from real weddings and photoshoots.

We specialise in beautiful, natural-looking makeup and use only the highest quality products that will last the whole day (and night!), giving you a radiant glow throughout.

I look forward to meeting you!
With warmest regards
Amanda
