A make-up artist has been named as the UK’s best bridal makeup artist.

Sally Bracey has been running a business at her Portishead home in Clevedon Road for the past six years.

Her hard work has paid dividends though and she won NH Federation’s gong in the Best In Britain Bridal Makeup category.

When she is not helping women prepare for weddings, Sally has also provided makeup for stars appearing on films and television programmes.

She said: “My mum had a salon when I was growing up so I have always been around makeup.”
