Products and Services
La Storia is a luxury makeup atelier founded by Akmaral, a makeup artist certified in Dubai in 2018, with over a decade of international expertise across bridal, editorial, high-fashion and high-profile events. Now based in Devon, La Storia brings that same world-class artistry to weddings across Devon, Cornwall, London and beyond.
We create timeless, radiant looks that celebrate your natural essence rather than transform it. Makeup is a quiet revelation, a refined language of individuality, elegance and inner strength. Our approach is calm, intentional and deeply personal, ensuring you feel confident, graceful and fully present on your wedding day.
Every bride receives a private consultation, personalised trial, luxury skin preparation and bespoke wedding day artistry, all crafted with calm precision from the first brushstroke to the final photograph. We also offer stay-on touch-up services, pre-wedding event makeup and our signature Maison Experience for those who want something truly immersive and unforgettable.
We limit the number of brides we accept each year to ensure every experience receives our full attention and care.
Bridal packages from £285. Full investment guide available upon enquiry.
Available across Devon, Cornwall, London and destination weddings worldwide.

Experience
Do you travel to the venue?
Yes, I come to you. Whether it's your home, hotel, venue or destination, I bring the full La Storia experience to wherever your morning begins. Travel beyond 15 miles is charged at £0.55 per mile.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking as early as possible as I limit the number of weddings I accept each year. Many brides secure their date 12–18 months ahead, particularly for peak summer weekends. That said, last minute availability does occasionally arise, so please never hesitate to get in touch, even if your wedding is just days, weeks or a month away. I will always do my best to accommodate you.
Do you offer a bridal trial?
Absolutely, a bridal trial is included in all packages. This is where we align your vision, refine your look and ensure everything feels effortless and truly you before the wedding day.
What areas do you cover?
I cover Devon, Cornwall and London, as standard. Destination weddings are also welcome, please enquire for travel arrangements.
How many people can you do on the wedding morning?
I work with intimate bridal parties and can accommodate the bride, bridal party and mothers. Get in touch with your group size and I'll advise on timings.
What products do you use?
I work exclusively with premium luxury cosmetics selected for longevity, comfort and radiance, ensuring you look flawless from ceremony through to celebrations.
Do you work with all skin tones?
Absolutely. With over a decade of international experience working with brides from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, I understand the nuances of every skin tone and undertone. Every look is custom blended and individually tailored, never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Do you offer makeup for the mother of the bride and bridal party?
Yes. I can accommodate the full bridal party including mothers. Additional applications are available as à la carte additions to your package. I recommend sharing your group size during the consultation so we can plan timings carefully and ensure a relaxed, unhurried morning for everyone.
Do you offer a contract and require a deposit?
Yes. To secure your date a booking deposit is required, with the remaining balance due closer to your wedding day. A contract is provided for every booking, clearly outlining all details so you can plan with complete confidence and peace of mind.
What should I do to prepare my skin before the trial and wedding day?
For the best possible results I recommend keeping your skin well hydrated in the weeks leading up to both your trial and wedding day, drinking plenty of water, moisturising daily and avoiding any new or harsh skincare treatments immediately beforehand. During your consultation I will provide a personalised pre-wedding skin guide tailored specifically to your skin type, so you arrive on the day with the perfect canvas for your look.
