'' Beautiful makeup is the outcome. Making people feel accepted, comfortable and confident is the real goal. ''

The story behind ByMeg.

Artistry for the lovers.

Megan Hartley, Based in Lancashire and travelling wherever your wedding journey leads, I create modern bridal artistry designed to feel effortless, elevated, and entirely your own.

With over ten years of professional experience and a background rooted in creative artistry,

my approach blends refined technique with genuine care -

creating not only beautiful makeup, but wedding mornings that feel calm, intentional, and completely looked after.

I trained at the Central College of Health & Beauty in Leeds before refining my artistry with MAC Cosmetics, where my love for expressive, detail-driven beauty first began. But it was within bridal that I found what truly inspired me.

There’s something incredibly special about the atmosphere of a wedding morning — the emotion, the anticipation, the quiet in-between moments. Being invited into that space is something I never take lightly.

My signature style is centred around luminous skin, modern softness, and makeup that still feels like you.

Inspired by fashion, editorial beauty, and timeless elegance, every look is thoughtfully tailored to the individual sitting in my chair.

I work with all skin tones, ages, and identities, creating a space where every client feels comfortable, celebrated, and fully themselves.

Beyond the artistry itself, I’m known for the experience I bring to a wedding morning.

A calm presence, emotional intuition, and genuine support are at the heart of everything I do -

from our first conversation through to the final finishing touches before you walk down the aisle.

Away from weddings, I’m a mum to two teenage boys, happiest outdoors, slowing down, and soaking up the quieter moments in between busy wedding weekends.

This career is far more than just makeup to me. It’s people, connection, emotion, and the privilege of being trusted during some of life’s most meaningful moments.

Thoughtfully curated artistry, with meaning at its core.

I can’t wait to be part of your story.
