About Us - Sunlit Meadow

This Day in Beauty History

On this day in 1921, Coco Chanel launched the iconic Chanel No. 5 perfume, revolutionizing the beauty industry. This fragrance became the world's first abstract perfume, breaking away from the tradition of single-note floral scents, and remains one of the best-selling perfumes of all time.

Our Story

Sunlit Meadow was founded in 2015 by Emma Richards, a veteran makeup artist with over a decade of experience in the fashion and bridal industries. What began as a solo venture quickly blossomed into a collective of talented visagistes united by a shared philosophy: makeup should enhance natural beauty rather than mask it.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients—from brides on their most special day to models gracing magazine covers. Each face we touch is an opportunity to create something unique and beautiful, tailored specifically to that individual.

Today, our team comprises five dedicated professionals with diverse backgrounds and specialties, allowing us to serve a wide range of clients and creative projects. Whether you're seeking subtle enhancement for a corporate event or dramatic transformation for an editorial shoot, we bring the same level of artistry and attention to detail to every client interaction.

Our Philosophy

Enhance, Don't Mask

We believe true beauty comes from enhancing your natural features, not concealing your uniqueness. Our approach celebrates individuality rather than conforming to trends.

Quality Over Quantity

We use premium products and take the time needed to achieve flawless results. Our work focuses on precision application rather than following fleeting trends.

Client Confidence

Success isn't just about how you look—it's about how you feel. We aim to boost confidence through makeup, creating looks that make you feel like the best version of yourself.

Ethical Practice

We prioritize cruelty-free products and environmentally conscious practices, continuously updating our kit with brands that align with our values.
