Makeup for me is not about masking my clients features. I want to enhance the beauty that’s already there. I want to make them feel the most beautiful, confident version of themselves.
Hi! I’m Clare. A professional, freelance makeup artist living in the beautiful County Wicklow. I specialise in bridal and occasion makeup and I’m passionate about all things makeup, beauty and style.
I won Best Makeup Artist in the Mrs2Be Brides Choice Awards in 2014 and was also a finalist in 2016 and 2017.
If you would like more information on my bridal or occasion packages you can get in touch through the contact form or drop me an email on clare@clarehogan.ie I’d be delighted to hear from you!

S C U L P T E D : A little highlight of the @sculptedbyaimee Makeup Artist Meet-Up last Sunday ✨
Working as a freelance makeup artist you get to work with lots of hairstylists, photographers, florists and other suppliers but rarely do you get to hang out with other mua’s so when @aimeeconnolly_com announced she was holding an event just for us I was there. Of course the fact that she brought the fabulous @katiejanehughes and @hannahmartinmakeup over to do some some demos and had the wonderful @lesleykeanemac join them for a panel discussion there was no way I was missing it. A really lovely day spent catching up with fellow artists, watching some stunning makeup looks being created with lots of great tips and discussions. So much talent in one room 👌🏻

N I A M H : Last Friday in @trudderlodge was a wet one, but it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of this chilled bride and her gorgeous friends and family. Beautiful pops of colour in the flowers by @austenflowers, the flower girl’s converse, Niamh’s fabulous @nickihoynecollection shoes 💕 and bridesmaid Zara’s blue dress was her ‘something blue’ 💙

S U M M E R : A love affair that started during lockdown and has become a bit of an obsession… I’ve been slowly adding to my collection of plants and flowers and the results are so worth it 🥰 it takes time and work keeping it maintained but no better excuse to get out in the fresh air and switch off 👌🏻

A blissful walk in the gorgeous Belmount Demense in Greystones today. After so much rain and cold temperatures over the last month it finally felt like summer is just around the corner and I’m so ready for it 😎☀️

B A S E : I’ve always been a minimalist base lover, I just don’t like layers and layers of heavy makeup and over the last 3 years I’ve become more accustomed to very little makeup. However I do like to use some strategically placed product to brighten and even my skin and these 3 products have been my go to for the last few months…
1. @charlottetilbury Wonder Glow:
I’ve been using this since it launched and I absolutely love I. I use it on its own, under foundation or mixed with my foundation for a more sheer finish. A staple in my makeup bag for the foreseeable 💕
2. @narsissist Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser:
Such a lovely base, buildable but light and has a gorgeous finish ✨
3. @ayumakeupireland Instant Under Eye Concealer:
I picked this up at Christmas after seeing lots of great reviews and it didn’t disappoint. A gorgeous creamy texture that blends really nicely and I use it all over, not just under the eyes. Anywhere that needs a little correction. Will definitely be picking up another shade for the summer months 👌🏻
