Cardos

Makeup for the aisle and the screen.

The studio

Two faces, one pair of hands. Glass-skin radiance for the morning of your wedding — and the bruises, blood and beauty the camera wants by night. Cardos does both, and refuses to choose.

In their words

She made me look like the best version of myself — and it didn't move from the church to the very last dance.

— [Bride name] · [Venue], Co. [County]

Calm on the morning, fearless on a film set. Cardos is the only person I'd let do both.

The artist

Lilian.

Brazilian-born and Dublin-based, Lilian moves between bridal suites and film sets without blinking. The throughline is skin: prepped, healthy and luminous, so every look — the most natural bride or the most brutal wound — sits on something real.

Her belief is simple. Makeup should look like you, last all day, and earn its place on camera. Soft enough for the aisle, fearless enough for everything Badscandal throws at it.

Skin first. Always.

Confirm Lilian's background, training and qualifications, then make this bio hers.
