Wedding Makeup
At our first meeting, I will carry out a consultation and discuss your current skin care routine, your likes and dislikes, all aspects of your wedding scheme especially your dress and preferred hairstyle.
I will then apply your make up in a style and colour scheme agreed and if required try several options until your are completed happy with the outcome. I am happy to carry out additional trials if required.
If you would like me to trial makeup for any additional members of the wedding party, this can either be carried out at the same time as the brides trial or an additional trial can be arranged at a later date. A charge for each additional person will be applicable (see pricing details)
Once we have agreed your final look I will take details of timings on the wedding day and make a record of all that we have discussed.
I use Mac Cosmetics, Laura Mercier, Nars, Makeup Forever, Illamasqua, Chanel and Bobbi Brown amongst many others.
I also provide makeup via airbrushing using the Temptu system. Airbrush makeup, especially foundation is excellent for photographs and digital media. It is favoured by many celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Catherine Zeta Jones for its’ flawless finish.
The advantages of using airbrush makeup are that it is ultra sheer and lightweight, long lasting, rub and water resistant. It will not block your pores and is great for minimising fine lines and wrinkles as well as giving the most flawless of finishes.
On the Day
My aim is to make you feel as beautiful for the entire day but nothing beats that natural bridal glow that comes from someone who is so excited to marry their loved one. (If they sold it, it would be priceless)
I will arrive at the agreed time and venue. If I am providing makeup for bridesmaids or mother of bride I will apply their makeup first. This gives them time to get changed and be ready to assist you in getting ready.
I like to have an hour with the bride to apply make up ensuing plenty of time to check that your are happy every step of the way.
You can then have your bridesmaid help you dress and I will then add any finishing touches (the last thing you want is lipstick on your dress when putting it on) therefore I will apply your lipstick at the very end.
To keep you looking fresh all day I will provide you with blotting sheets (the case is the size of a credit card so can be put into a pocket or small bag) to remove any shine during the remainder of the day and lipstick/lipgloss (or your own if you prefer)
