Hello all Brides to be!
Congratulations on your engagement and welcome to the world of wedding planning!
I'm delighted you found your way here. Choosing the right makeup artist for your wedding is a very important part of your planning; in fact you may still be deciding whether you should hire a makeup artist? I did my own wedding hair and makeup and although I did a very good job, it's the only thing I would change about my own wedding day. I found it a very solitarily and a stressful experience when I should have been pampered in that couple of hours before stepping into my dream dress. I felt like I was rushing to get ready on a night out - not good! When you hire a makeup artist you are not just having your makeup/hair done, you are getting a service which starts well before the big day and just makes your whole wedding experience that more special.
I offer a bespoke bridal service at competitive prices. I have over seventeen years experience in bridal makeup which is my main craft. My makeup style is natural, yet polished, modern with emphasis on making skin look like good skin as opposed to "made up". I will contour if I think necessary to add definition but not because it's all over instagram! Everyone is different and I want to make you look the best version of yourself. I do love vintage and I have a background in the fashion industry so if you want something more edgy, I'm up for the challenge. For makeup only services, I can comfortably do up to six people. Any larger parties I will call upon my network of trusted makeup artists to team up with me. Depending on your requirements, I will source another artist with a similar style to me.
I added bridal hair to my skills a few years back, my bridal hair styling is soft, romantic, modern - you don't have to have to have traditional bridal look just because you are getting married; bridal hair has moved on massively. I can offer hair in addition to makeup for bridal parties up to three. For larger parties, I prefer to concentrate on my make sills up so you get the best service. I have a network of fantastic hairstylists I can source for you for within your budget, type of styling etc.
