The face behind Pearl and Rouge

Cathy Vanstone

Hi, I'm Cathy, a bridal hair and makeup artist based just outside Bideford, North Devon. I create soft, romantic, textured and boho hairstyles for the chilled, modern bride. My make-up styles are quite natural and I love to focus on healthy, glowy skin and soft glam looks, using a mix of lux brands such as Charlotte Tilbury and Mac.

I go above and beyond to take away any stresses you might have on the wedding morning by my caring and friendly nature and offering bridal hair and makeup packages. Alleviating the stress of having to book two separate artists and making a great choice for elopement weddings.

Over the recent bridal season I have become passionate in sustainable bridal fashion and pre loved bridal wear. I would love to help brides find affordable designer wedding dresses and wedding attire that are also kind on the planet, eco friendly and plastic free.

I grew up in Derby and qualified in the Midlands, having many hair and make up jobs on counters, salons and I also worked on a Cruise Ship before I settled in the beautiful North Devon many years ago.

When I'm not working I love being in my greenhouse or with my 2 children on our veg and flower plots in our English cottage style garden, and watching our chickens scratch around.

I love a chilled Pinot Grigio and drink far too much tea with my very understanding husband and walking in the rolling Devon countryside (or the beach) with our lovely old Weimerana, Roxy.

So if you are looking for a friendly, talented bridal hair and make-up artist, or sustainable bridal wear I would love to hear from you.
