Bridal Make Up
Feel Beautifully Prepared for Your Special Day
How to choose a wedding makeup artist?
When looking for your bridal makeup and hair stylist, make a selection of artists that are local to your area or near to your wedding location. Have an approximate budget in mind and amount of guests you would like makeup and hair service for.
Select artists whose portfolios reflect the best of the style you are after.
Once the selection is made, contact each artist and request a quote. See who is available and whose style and quote appeals the most.
Will you provide a hair and make up schedule for the big day?
Yes – I do. When everything is confirmed, I send a full schedule. This will be bespoke to suit your special day.
How long does it take to do bridal hair and makeup?
Can I book you to stay on for touch ups or restyle in the evening?
Absolutely. I am available to stay on for touch ups, however this includes an extra charge. We can discuss this option if you would like to enquire on booking.
What is the booking process?
How do I pay?
I accept a cash, BIT or bank transfer. Please feel free to contact me for exact payment details.
Can I trial before booking?
Yes. I highly recommend booking a slot to trial how you want to look on the day of your wedding.
That said, your date will remain open until you officially book. If you’d like to trial before booking, I’d highly suggest doing it as soon as possible so that you don’t run the risk of losing your date. If someone else inquires before you get a chance to trial, you’ll have to decide whether to officially book before the date goes to another person.
How do I prepare for a pre-wedding trial?
After deciding on a trial date, I will email or message you with the following trial instructions:
- Please refrain from wearing makeup products on the day of the trial.
- You can maintain your regular skincare routine.
- Wear a white or cream v-neck, button down, or tank top (if you plan to wear a white dress for the wedding).
Prior to the trial, feel free to send me makeup and hair inspiration photos if applicable.
What happens during the trial?
You should allow 90 minutes for a makeup-only trial and 2-1/2 to 3 hours for makeup and hair.
During the allotted time, we discuss your wedding style details and your ideas and images of your wedding day makeup and hair. We review any inspirational photos that you have brought, and then, based on our discussion, I do your makeup/hair. We then go over the finished look, tweaking the style if needed to get a finished result that you’re happy with.
What makeup brands do you use?
I’ve worked for years to build a kit of high-impact, premium products that have proven themselves time and time again. I ensure that all products are cruelty-free, vegan and ethically sourced, wherever possible. Brands that you are likely to see in my kit include Charlotte Tilbury Makeup, Hourglass, KVD Beauty, Danessa Myricks and many more. I believe in using high quality products to ensure a flawless look.
