Made Up In Ibiza
Made Up In Ibiza
Hi, I’m Ruthie
Hey, I’m Ruthie, a makeup artist living the dream in Ibiza, where I’ve found the perfect mix of island life and doing what I love. It all started with a camper van, four mates, and a big love for makeup. Fast forward to now, and that dream has taken me across the globe from Cape Town to NYC, working on everything from luxury fashion shoots to destination weddings.
These days, I’m all about creating elegant, glowing looks for high-end events, editorials, and Ibiza’s unforgettable celebrations. Living here with my family, I get to combine what I love most—making people feel amazing and soaking up the island vibes.
Whether it’s a stunning Ibiza wedding, a big campaign, or a celebration you’ll never forget, I’m here to make sure you look and feel next-level.
Take a little peek behind the scenes…
Here’s a glimpse into my life – what I love, what inspires me, and what I bring to the makeup chair
-
Think polished, natural, and every bit the A-lister experience. My makeup style is all about enhancing your features and making you feel like the most confident, glowing version of yourself. It’s glam, but never overdone – just effortlessly elegant.
-
I’m all about sunsets, whether it’s from my balcony or while walking in the hills and along the coasts of Ibiza – nothing beats getting my nature soul fed. My family and I are in love in with our magical island; it’s where we feel most at home. My daughter makes my heart glow, and our little adventures together or dancing our socks off in the living room are always the best part of my day. The west coast of Ireland, where my family is from, holds a special place in my heart, and I’ve always loved the buzz of big cities like London and Manchester where I found my style. Simple pleasures, big memories.

My goal is to create chic, elegant makeup looks that focus on glowing, beautiful skin for all skin types and tones. I don’t always follow the trends – although I always stay in the know to keep things fresh and modern. Main thing is that YOU feel amazing after I’m finished!
Beyond the makeup, I’m all about keeping things calm and chilled. I love having a laugh with my clients, and it’s not unusual for us to end up as friends by the end of it all. Bringing good vibes is just as important to me as creating a flawless look.
My Ibiza
I arrived in Ibiza in a camper van with three friends and a dream – to create wild, glittering looks for dancers and the nightlife scene that we loved. And that’s exactly what I did, painting the island with colour and creativity while balancing my “grown-up” work on TV commercials and fashion advertising shoots.
Over time, my work grew, and so did my love for Ibiza. I began focusing on luxury and destination weddings, helping couples bring their dream celebrations to life with makeup that’s as magical as the island itself. Alongside my bridal work, I continue to work on exciting shoots for fashion campaigns, advertising, and editorial projects.
After a few years of bopping around the world, I found my way back to Ibiza, and in 2022, everything changed when I had my daughter. Now, my family and I call this beautiful island home, and I’ve never felt more grounded, inspired, or at peace. Ibiza isn’t just where I live – it’s where I truly belong.
