Susan Tee has been doing bridal makeup in Singapore for over a decade, having completed her professional training in 2010 and continued building on it with further courses across Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Australia. Working under the name Dream Makers Makeup, she's built a reputation around a natural, Korean-inspired finish, fresh, glowing skin rather than heavy coverage, while remaining comfortable moving into more Western, romantic styling depending on what a bride is after.
That range of training across several countries shows in the versatility of her work. Rather than applying a single fixed aesthetic to every bride, Susan blends Asian and Western makeup techniques, adjusting for face shape, skin type, and the specific look a couple has in mind, whether that's understated and glowing for a solemnisation or something with more definition for an evening reception.
What a Booking With Susan Typically Covers
Actual day bookings are structured around how many looks a bride needs across her wedding day, which usually comes down to how many gowns she's wearing and how much time passes between her ceremony and reception. A single gown and a single ceremony typically needs one complete application, referred to as a fresh look, done in the hours before it's needed to allow time for base, eyes, and hairstyling to be done properly rather than rushed.
Weddings with more moving parts, a longer gap between the ceremony and reception, or a second and third gown, usually call for a touch-up and hair change partway through the day, so the evening look holds up as well as the morning one did. Susan typically pairs her wedding day bookings with a trial session beforehand, so the final look is settled together ahead of time rather than decided for the first time on the morning of the wedding itself, which matters most when the day's schedule is already tight.
Add-on services extend beyond the bride herself. Groom styling is available for couples who want a coordinated look on both sides, and family makeup is available for mothers or sisters involved in the wedding party. Makeup can be done either on-location at the couple's own venue or at Susan's own studio, and for brides who'd rather have an artist on standby than a single scheduled touch-up, an extended follow-through service keeps her available on-site for up to three hours.
Style and Approach
Susan's signature is a natural, glowing finish rather than a heavily contoured or matte look, drawing on Korean beauty techniques that prioritise skin texture and a soft, lit-from-within quality over heavy coverage. For brides who want that specific aesthetic, the finish that photographs as fresh and effortless rather than "done," it's a specific skill set that not every makeup artist trains in. At the same time, her background also covers more traditional Western romantic styling, so brides aren't limited to one look if their taste runs in a different direction for part of the day.
