THE BRIDAL EXPERIENCE
BRIDAL TRIAL
Choosing the right make-up for your wedding day can be very exciting! You will be the centre of attention and you need to feel your most comfortable.
It’s important that you are confident that your make-up will be perfect on the day, having a trial is the best opportunity for you to see how it will look. Most of the brides I meet want to look a better version of themselves on their wedding day and this is something I specialise in. I believe makeup should enhance your natural beauty rather than change it.
It’s also a great time for us to sit down and talk about which make-up styles you like, if you have any favourite beauty products and the style of your wedding. I can also asses the undertones of your skin and understand if you will be tanning or having individual lashes applied before the wedding; all of which can influence the products, pallette we use and intensity of your makeup. When you have your trial you can feel free to also bring a Bridesmaid or Mother of the Bride along for a fun girly day.
I am a great believer that good make-up is enhanced by good skin preparation and can really help to exude radiance from within. On the day I will use the best products in my kit, but we can also talk about your daily routine leading up to the wedding to ensure you have fully hydrated, moisturised, fresh, beautiful skin.
Usually, I recommend a trial around 4-8 weeks before the date of your wedding, but there are some brides who like to meet even earlier than this - whatever suits your diary and planning schedule.

YOUR WEDDING DAY
Your wedding day is all about making magical memories. As your make-up artist, I want to help you feel at ease and create a calming atmosphere while you and your bridal party have fun before the ceremony.
Whether you’re in the comfort of your home or at a wedding venue, my goal is to make sure things run smoothly; therefore our timing is essential. I will arrive before our start time, to introduce myself to the bridal party and set up my work station. I can also discuss a schedule with the hairdresser to ensure we work in sync with each other.
Once everyones hair and make-up is complete, I stay with you and take the opportunity to do any final touchups, making sure you that are perfect and you feel beautiful for your big day ahead.
I have some Brides that want me to be solely dedicated to them all day and other Brides that want me to be on hand through to the evening offering hair/makeup touch up’s for the bridal party, or even a hair and makeup change. I’m happy to stay on stand-by until needed, while you enjoy your dream day.
WHAT’S YOUR PREFERRED STYLE?
Your photos will last a life-time and you will always want look back at the day and see that everything came together, exactly as you had imagined.
If you want a flawless finish, radiant beauty, classic, boho, beachy or a mixture of all the above, it’s important we connect your preferred style with your personality, to ensure your make-up is authentically you.
It’s very important that a make-up artist understands your face shape, skin tone, eye shape and even eyebrow shape. My job is to harmonise the style of make-up you desire with the beauty of your features. I am fully accredited and very experienced in providing makeup to WOC, Asian and European skin types.
I don’t use any products that I haven’t tested already. I guarantee that whatever products we use, will last for the day with very little need for touch ups (with the exclusion of the lips). There are so many luxe brands that I love to use helping to create that radiant, sheer skin.
