Meet Pebbles

Beautifully you. Just bridal.

Hi, I'm Pebbles, makeup artist and the face behind Brides by Pebbles. With almost 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, my approach is rooted in one simple belief: you should still feel like yourself on your wedding day, just elevated.

My journey started in the Netherlands, where I trained at School van Mieke Petiet in Amsterdam. Over the years I worked with brands including MAC Cosmetics, NARS, Laura Mercier and Shiseido, building experience as a makeup artist and in beauty education. My career has taken me from Amsterdam and New York Fashion Weeks to brides from all over the world.

Today I'm based in Aruba, where I specialize in destination bridal beauty. I love polished skin, soft glam and effortless beauty that looks refined in person and on camera.

If you are getting married in Aruba and are looking for a makeup artist, then you NEED Pebbles! This woman completely transformed into the bride I envisioned for my wedding day. I would also highly recommend doing a makeup trial with her as well because it made the day of the wedding so much easier and relaxed. I absolutely loved how my makeup came out and enjoyed the entire process. She is so friendly and kind and made me feel so beautiful! I would highly recommend Pebbles to all future Aruba brides!

I am so happy that I picked Pebbles to do my bridal make up! I don’t know much about make up except that I want it to look as natural as possible and she did a great job listening to my wishes! The make up stayed on perfectly all day, even in the Aruban sun and wind. Besides being super talented, she’s also the nicest person ever. Pebbles is so sweet and comforting. Highly recommend! ❤️

Pebbles was amazing! I typically don’t wear a lot of makeup and wanted a natural look for my wedding and Pebbles was able to provide that. She listened to everything I said I liked/didn’t like and even offered alternatives or other ideas. I did a trial the day before my wedding which was nice because I was able to see what I liked or if there was anything I wanted to change for the wedding day. The day of my wedding I had a few MINOR things I wanted to change and she was able to execute it perfectly. It was such a great experience!

She made me feel so special and pretty on my wedding day! Not only is she super talented but she also made me feel so comfortable and was so fun to talk to, she felt like a friend I had known for years by the end of it!

Pebbles is an incredibly experienced and skilled makeup artist who really thinks along with you. I’m quite indecisive when it comes to makeup, but with just a few keywords about what I liked, she created a beautiful look that suited me and my wedding day perfectly.

What I also really appreciate is that Pebbles works effortlessly with darker skin. A MUA who truly understands this is unfortunately still rare, which made her expertise extra valuable to me.

On my wedding day I glowed inside and out, thanks in part to Pebbles. I felt beautiful, confident and completely myself. I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone, and I already know that for future celebrations, events and other special occasions I don’t want anyone else. Thank you, Pebbles! 💕

I had my makeup done for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding by Pebbles and it was an amazing experience. I was able to do a trial on another trip to Aruba which was helpful to go over inspo photos and make small adjustments before the day. I was very happy with how my makeup [came out]! I also had bridesmaids with different skin tones and makeup preferences and they were all happy with how their look came out.

I can't recommend Aruba Bridal Artistry enough! From the very first contact, I felt completely at ease. They truly listened to what I wanted, and the final result exceeded all my expectations. My makeup looked beautiful, felt natural, and stayed flawless throughout the entire day and evening. The professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, friendly approach made the whole experience even more special.

Thank you for your incredible talent and outstanding service. You made me feel absolutely beautiful on such an important day, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Pebbles ; Aruba Bridal Artistry to any bride looking for an exceptional make-up artist!

Thank you, Pebbles! I was so happy with my makeup. I normally wear very little makeup, but it looked so natural and beautiful. It made me feel like a real bride. My daughter loved her makeup as well. Thank you for making our day so special! Definitely recommended!
