About Stephanie Manganelli

What We Love

Stéphanie Manganelli is a bridal makeup artist in France who works with international brides celebrating their destination weddings here. She brings 20 years of experience across bridal, fashion, television and advertising, and has worked on more than 450 destination weddings. Her aim is never to transform a bride, but to create a luminous look that feels entirely true to her.

Style

Her approach pairs technical mastery with a contemporary editorial eye and close attention to detail. She gives equal weight to the result and to the experience itself: thoughtful preparation, a calm and discreet presence on the morning, and care over every step from the bridal preview through to the final touch-ups after the ceremony.

Availability and Travel

Stéphanie is based in the Dordogne and works throughout France, Switzerland and beyond. Travel and accommodation are quoted according to the wedding location and schedule. Couples are encouraged to enquire as soon as the wedding date is confirmed, as her diary tends to fill more than a year ahead.

Awards and Press

Stéphanie's work has been recognised with the Best Makeup Artist in France distinction in both 2017 and 2021, and with Wedding Awards for 13 consecutive years.

Reviews

What couples say

“ "Stéphanie was absolutely wonderful and took real care to ensure my bridesmaids and I felt gorgeous. I would recommend Stéphanie without hesitation. She is kind, considerate and incredibly talented."

“ "Stéphanie did my makeup for my wedding in Bergerac. She was wonderful, professional, friendly and considerate. During my trial she made sure I was completely happy with my look and was incredibly patient and understanding. On the day of the wedding she did a fantastic job, customising the makeup based on each person's preferences, and everyone looked stunning. She was also a calming presence on a busy and somewhat stressful day. Thank you so much Stéphanie for playing such a significant part on a very special day."

“ "Stephanie was fantastic. She did my makeup for my wedding along with the bridesmaids and my mother-in-law. Temperatures reached 40 degrees on the day and yet the makeup for all of us remained flawless until the early hours of the morning. She was so responsive via email in the lead up to the big day, and in the trial and on the day did our makeup exactly how we asked, was kind and chatty and everything went to time. A true professional. Thank you again Stephanie."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Stephanie Manganelli

When and how should I book? ›

Requests come in more than a year in advance, so Stephanie recommends getting in touch as soon as the wedding date is confirmed. To hold the date, a service contract is drawn up with a 30% deposit on signing, followed by €250 for the trial and the balance on the wedding day.

How does the beauty service work on the day? ›

Stephanie travels to the venue with a mobile studio that includes a professional chair, tailored lighting and a curated kit of products. She gives full time to the bride and her bridal party on the morning of the wedding, creating a calm, concentrated atmosphere where every gesture is intentional.

What products do you use? ›

Stephanie works exclusively with high-end, vegan and cruelty-free products from houses including Charlotte Tilbury, It Cosmetics, LH Cosmetics and Anastasia Beverly Hills. Each formula is chosen for performance, long wear and compatibility with sensitive skin.

How many people can you make up on the wedding day? ›

It depends on the ceremony start time and the morning timeline. In general, Stephanie does makeup for between 4 and 8 people in addition to the bride at a comfortable pace. For larger bridal parties, she can bring an assistant to ensure the morning stays smooth and relaxed.

How far do you travel, and how is travel calculated? ›

Based in the south-west of France, Stephanie travels throughout France and internationally for destination weddings. Travel costs are based on distance, travel time and accommodation if required. Every project is unique, so a personalised quote is always provided.
