Hair and makeup in Manotick
Your Manotick makeup artist, in Ottawa’s riverside village
Manotick sits on an island in the Rideau River, about half an hour south of downtown Ottawa, with a historic stone mill, a small-town main street and big riverside homes along the water. It’s a favourite with couples who want village charm without leaving the city.
We come to you with professional lighting and a complete kit, wherever you’re getting ready: a riverside family home, a rented house nearby or your venue. Your makeup artist and hairstylist plan both looks together, and we build the timing around your photographer.

Manotick makeup artist tips for village portraits
Plenty of Manotick couples stop for photos around the village between the ceremony and the reception. A few details make those portraits shine.
- The stone walls of Watson’s Mill and the old buildings near Dickinson Square suit a soft, timeless look.
- Wind along the Rideau can be strong in spring and fall, so every style is pinned and set to last.
- We schedule a short refresh before you leave for photos, and send your lipstick and powder along with you.
- Evening light by the river is warm and golden, so we balance shine while keeping skin radiant.

Manotick FAQ
Questions for your Manotick makeup artist
Do you travel to Manotick for weddings?
Yes. Manotick is about half an hour south of downtown Ottawa, and we work there throughout the wedding season, as well as in Kars, North Gower and Osgoode. Your quote already includes travel.
Should I choose airbrush or traditional makeup?
Both last well and photograph beautifully. Airbrush gives a light, even, very long-wearing finish, while traditional makeup is easy to build and feels natural on dry or mature skin. If you can’t decide, we can try both at your preview.
Can you cover tattoos for the wedding?
Yes. Tattoo coverage is available on request. Send us a photo of the tattoo and where it sits, so we can allow enough time and choose the right products.
How much does a makeup artist in Manotick cost?
With À la carte, a bride’s hair and makeup costs $785. Airbrush adds $65 per person and premium lashes $35, and travel to Manotick is added to your quote. See all packages and rates.
