A MAKE-UP artist from Barnsley has been named best bridal beauty stylist in this year’s LUX magazine’s global wedding awards.

Rachael Divers, 30, of Park View, Shafton, owner of Rachael Divers Makeup Artistry won the award last week.

The competition asked members of the public to nominate their favourite bridal service vendors, who were then researched by a judging panel.

Rachael said: “It is an amazing feeling to win another award for my make-up artistry work. I pour my heart into my work and I am constantly striving to improve my skills and offer an even better service to my wonderful clients.”

Rachael works from a private studio but also travels to events for clients.

She also has a YouTube channel to which she regularly posts updates.
