Our story

Evelyn Beauty Collective was founded on the belief that Vancouver Island brides deserve more.


More care, more intention, and more support throughout the entire beauty experience. After years in the industry, we noticed a pattern: brides were often left to navigate their wedding mornings alone - with little more than a confirmation email and a vague arrival time. We knew it could be so much better.

Evelyn was created to offer something different - a beauty experience that feels calm, organized, and fully considered from start to finish. Our collective is made up of artists who not only excel at their craft, but also care deeply about how you feel throughout the process. We show up early, prepared, and present. We work as a team. And most importantly, we’re here to make sure your morning feels like a moment, not a blur.

Because you deserve to feel looked after.

Marin and Liv were absolutely wonderful during my wedding morning. Their attention to detail and application of makeup was flawless. They create such a warm, friendly environment that’s so needed on what can be such a stressful day. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the makeup and their kind, friendly demeanor. You’d be so lucky to have Marin do your makeup!
