About me, Clarita Smit
Welcome to my corner of creativity! I’m a passionate Bridal Hair and Makeup Artist hailing from the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa. My journey into the world of beauty began with a deep dive into somatology at Isa Carstens, where I cultivated my appreciation for skincare and the art of enhancing natural beauty.
Driven by a desire to craft exquisite looks, I honed my makeup skills at the prestigious Alicia Buckle School of Hair and Makeup, where I immersed myself in various courses, including the Diva’s Hairstyling course, to refine my techniques. But learning never stops for me – I’m constantly seeking new inspiration and techniques to elevate my craft.
Specializing in both classical and volume lashes, I’ve been weaving my artistic flair into lashes since 2010. The intricate dance of lashes and makeup fascinates me, prompting me to share my expertise through my own training courses, empowering others to unlock their artistic potential.
For me, it’s not just about creating stunning makeup looks; it’s about being a part of the journey, sharing in the joy of brides as they prepare for their special day. With every brushstroke, I strive to create flawless, radiant skin that enhances natural beauty, ensuring that each bride feels confidently beautiful as they step into the spotlight.
Join me in celebrating the artistry of makeup and the transformative power of beauty. Together, let’s create unforgettable moments, one brushstroke at a time.
With Love,
Clarita Smit

Bridal Hair and Makeup
As a bridal makeup artist, my job isn’t just about applying makeup; it’s about crafting moments of beauty, confidence, and joy. Every weekend, I eagerly anticipate the privilege of being a part of a bride’s special day, a day she has been dreaming about for years.
The bridal journey is a unique and beautiful one. It’s a symphony of emotions – excitement, nervousness, love, and sometimes even a few happy tears. My role is to be the conductor of this symphony, using makeup as my instrument to enhance a bride’s natural beauty and make her feel like the radiant star she truly is.
Each bride is a canvas, and I am the artist. I take pride in understanding her unique vision, whether it’s a classic, boho, or contemporary look. I listen to her stories, her preferences, and her dreams for her big day. It’s not just about the makeup; it’s about creating a look that reflects her personality and captures the essence of her love story.
Weekend after weekend, I’m fortunate to witness the transformation in these brides. As I delicately brush on the makeup and watch their faces light up in the mirror, I can’t help but share in their joy. There’s something incredibly powerful about seeing a bride gaze at her reflection and realize that she is the most beautiful version of herself.
But it’s not just about the physical transformation. It’s about the emotional journey too. As I prepare brides for their walk down the aisle, I become a confidant, a source of calm, and sometimes even a cheerleader. My heart swells with pride when I see them take those steps towards their future, with love and confidence radiating from within.
Every weekend brings its own set of challenges and adventures. From early morning call times to touch-ups in between vows and dances, I thrive on the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. And as the evening sun sets and the dance floor comes alive, I secretly revel in the thought that I’ve played a small part in creating a day full of memories that will be cherished forever.
Being a bridal makeup artist isn’t just a job; it’s a passion, a privilege, and a journey of love. Every weekend, I eagerly look forward to being a part of these beautiful love stories, and I can’t wait to see the smiles, the tears of joy, and the confidence that makeup brings to my brides. Here’s to the art of bridal makeup and the magic it weaves on weekends filled with love!
Eye Lash Extensions
Since 2010, my passion for eyelash extensions has been an ever-evolving adventure. Each lash applied is not just a stroke of artistry but a journey towards enhancing natural beauty and confidence. From classic lashes to voluminous creations, my expertise has blossomed, allowing me to craft a diverse array of looks that captivate and inspire.
Classic Lashes
Classic lash extensions are the foundation of every lash journey. Utilizing a one-to-one application method, each individual extension is delicately bonded to a natural lash, seamlessly blending to enhance length, curl, and thickness. The result? A timeless, elegant look that accentuates the eyes with subtlety and grace. Classic lashes embody simplicity and sophistication, perfect for those seeking a natural yet defined appearance.
Volume Lashes
Enter the realm of volume lashes, where artistry meets extravagance. Unlike classic lashes, volume extensions involve the meticulous application of multiple ultra-fine extensions to a single natural lash. This technique creates unparalleled fullness, depth, and dimension, offering a dramatic yet lightweight finish. Whether aiming for a glamorous red-carpet allure or a sultry, doe-eyed gaze, volume lashes deliver unparalleled versatility and allure.
Classic lashes provide a subtle enhancement, ideal for everyday wear or those desiring a more natural look. On the other hand, volume lashes offer limitless possibilities, allowing you to explore bold, statement-making styles that elevate your aesthetic to new heights.
