Interview with Anwan Yao

makeup transformation 5 Getting Married in Denmark

What kind of people do you like working with?

I love working with couples who value meaningful moments over perfection. Most of my brides are looking for timeless, elegant, soft glam bridal beauty with a flawless, camera-ready finish. They want to look like the best version of themselves, feel confident, and truly enjoy every moment of their wedding day.

How would you describe what you do for couples getting married in Denmark?

I specialise in timeless, elegant, soft glam bridal hair and makeup that enhances each bride’s unique features while still looking like herself. I aim to create a flawless, long-lasting look that photographs beautifully and helps every bride feel confident, beautiful, and relaxed. I also believe a luxury bridal experience is about more than makeup—it’s about creating a calm, enjoyable start to one of the most important days of your life.

Many of our couples are planning their wedding from abroad and have never been to Denmark. What does working with you look like, from first contact to wedding day?

I like to keep everything simple, clear, and stress-free. From the first enquiry, I’m happy to answer questions, discuss your vision, and help with planning. Before the wedding, we’ll confirm every detail together, and on the day I’ll arrive fully prepared so you can simply relax and enjoy getting ready.

Couples are putting a lot of trust in you on one of the most important days of their lives. How do you make sure they feel at ease and in good hands?

I believe trust starts with communication. I take time to understand each bride’s style, listen to what matters most to her, and make sure she feels comfortable throughout the process. My goal is for every client to feel relaxed, confident, and genuinely cared for from the moment we meet.

Is there anything about working with international couples that you particularly enjoy or find meaningful?

I genuinely enjoy meeting people from different cultures and hearing their stories. It’s a privilege to be part of such an important milestone, especially when couples choose Denmark as the place to celebrate their love. I love helping them feel welcome, supported, and at ease while they’re here.

Tell us a little about who you are outside of work.

I’m a mum to four-year-old twin girls, and family means everything to me. I love travelling, discovering new restaurants, and exploring beautiful places around Denmark. Becoming a makeup artist has been my dream since childhood, and I’m always learning new techniques to refine my skills. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a bride look in the mirror and smile because she feels like the most beautiful version of herself.
