About Stephanie Manganelli

What We Love

What sets Stephanie Manganelli apart is the precision and restraint behind her work. With two decades in television, fashion and advertising before turning her attention to bridal beauty, Stephanie brings an editorial eye to wedding makeup, where every detail matters yet nothing feels overdone. Her approach is not about transformation. It is about revealing the bride at her most refined, with a focus on skin, balance and timeless elegance. International brides choosing France for their wedding consistently note her composed, discreet presence on the morning of the wedding, anchoring the preparation time with quiet confidence so everything feels effortless.

Availability and Travel

Stephanie has worked as a professional makeup artist for twenty years, with a career spanning television, fashion, advertising and international weddings. She is based in Dordogne, in the south-west of France, and travels throughout France and Switzerland to accompany destination brides at their wedding venues. Travel is calculated per project based on distance, time and any accommodation required, and a personalised quote is provided. 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

Stephanie's artistry has been recognised with the Best Makeup Artist in France distinction in both 2017 and 2021, and with Wedding Awards for thirteen 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."
