About Alchemé
More than makeup
Beautiful makeup begins with healthy, radiant skin.
With over 25 years in the beauty industry, my passion has always been helping women feel like the very best version of themselves.
From my early career specialising in skincare to creating timeless bridal makeup across Scotland, my philosophy has never changed—enhance what's already there, never hide it.
As a qualified skincare therapist, I know that exceptional makeup starts long before foundation touches the skin.
That's why every appointment is approached with thoughtful skin preparation, carefully chosen products and techniques that create a fresh, modern finish that still feels like you.
Over the years I've been fortunate to train with leading brands, work in some of Scotland's most respected spas and be recognised with industry awards. But what means the most to me is the trust my clients place in me during some of life's most special moments.
Wedding mornings are about so much more than makeup.
They're about creating a calm atmosphere, bringing reassurance when nerves appear and allowing you to slow down and truly enjoy every moment.
My role is to help you feel relaxed, confident and beautifully yourself from the first brushstroke to the moment you walk down the aisle.
Because when you feel comfortable in your own skin, confidence naturally follows

About Donna
When I’m not busy taking care of clients, you’ll usually find me planning my next adventure. I absolutely love to travel, whether it’s discovering somewhere completely new or returning to one of my favourite places.
Exploring different countries, cultures and ways of life has always been a passion of mine. I love discovering hidden gems, taking in beautiful scenery and experiencing everything a destination has to offer.
Travelling has given me a real appreciation for exceptional hospitality and the little details that make an experience truly memorable. It’s something I’ve carried into Alchemé Beauty, where my goal is to create more than beautiful makeup—I want every client to feel genuinely looked after from the moment they enquire until the end of their wedding morning.
I feel incredibly lucky that my work allows me to meet so many wonderful people and be part of such an important chapter in their lives. Helping my brides feel calm, confident and completely themselves is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
Testimonials
“I have bad skin so the fact that I didn’t even top up my makeup for the evening is a testament to how talented Donna is.”
Fiona Murray
“I cannot rate Donna high enough! She was amazing throughout the whole wedding process and everyone loved their makeup! I cannot thank her enough for the effort she put in.”
Molly Grace
Not only was all our makeup outstanding, but it was done in plenty of time which, with 7 ladies makeup to do, is amazing!
