Christine O’Connor is a Cork based Makeup Artist.
Christine was named the south "Bridal Make Up Specialist" of 2018 at the National Irish MakeUp Awards, and is a nominee for same in this upcoming 2024 awards! She was also previosuly named "Best for Bridal Makeup" in Ireland, by RSVP Magazine in 2014.
Over the years she previously spent time at Inglot Cosmetics, where she was a Store Trainer, Supervisor and Senior Artist. Her work ranges from fashion shoots like RTÉ’s Nationwide with Ashling Thompson and making up clients like Dee Devlin, to doing one-to-one lessons with anyone looking for tips.
Her speciality, however, lies in her bridal make up. “From spending time at the trial creating the perfect look, to the buzz on the morning of the wedding, bridal work is always exciting. It’s also such a privilege to be trusted with this important part of a bride’s look - not just for the day but for the photos forever.”
So what sets Christine apart? “I think I bring a flexibility to my artistry. While every artist has there own flair and way of doing make-up, I always tailor that to the client. Whether that’s heavy instagram-makeup, glamorous celeb makeup, or natural makeup, I love adapting to create different styles.”

Christine worked her magic on me and my bridesmaids, creating looks that were not only stunning but also tailored to each of our unique features and preferences. She listened carefully to what we envisioned and then took it to the next level, leaving us all feeling radiant and confident.
My makeup was absolutely flawless—natural yet glamorous, exactly what I wanted. It held up beautifully throughout the entire day and evening, through tears, hugs, and dancing! The bridesmaids couldn’t stop raving about how amazing they looked and felt, too.
Beyond her incredible talent, Christine’s warm and friendly demeanor made her a joy to have around during such a special (and sometimes nerve-wracking) morning. She kept us all relaxed, on schedule, and feeling like the best versions of ourselves.
If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is skilled, professional, and a true pleasure to work with, Christine is your person. She was an essential part of my dream wedding day, and I will forever be grateful for her talent and care.
