Frequently asked questions

The honest answer is because I care about you and your wedding day. I believe in making sure you feel incredible and ill do my upmost to ensure that you have complete trust and confidence in me, and your final wedding look. I believe emphasizing your best facial features. If you don't know what they are, I will. I want you to feel so amazing and I am always here to offer you advice before and long after your makeup appointment. I strive to give you a true value in terms of my knowledge and experience.

As soon as you know your secured date and venue location, please contact me. I would suggest booking your bridal preview 3 - 6 months in advance of your wedding date, but you should be securing me ASAP. I know this is not always possible and I will always endeavour to try to fit in a Bride. Most trails are usually completed on weekdays and especially in busy wedding times.

I am a mobile makeup artist. I will travel to the location needed and all travel costs are included in your quote.

I do not expect my Brides to break the bank with luxury skincare, but I encourage Brides to cleanse and moisturise AM and PM. I recommend unscented products such as Beauty by Joseon (red bean water gel for oily skin), CeraVe moisturising body cream for (dry to very dry skin) as this does not clog pores and is excellent on sensitive skin. Please use what ever works for you though, as ultimately, you understand what works for you best. (if not, ill help) If you have dry areas, please ensure they are lightly exfoliated before the trial and also your big day. AHA & BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is one I highly recommend, on dry areas only though! If you are very sensitive, try a PHA toner instead. If you are oily skinned, toning the areas that pool the most oil would really help. Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is the one I recommend most or The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution An eye cream, is paramount... NO MATTER YOUR AGE! It will help with a flawless under eye, if you are very dry, including gel patches on top for 15 minutes will work wonders. I like the Boots ceramide eye cream, as it pretty much is kind to all, does what its mean to do and seriously affordable. The Kiehls Avocado treatment is a good luxury item and i recommend L'oreal Revitalift filler eye cream too. Remember, your base can only look as good as the foundations that you lay. It doesn't mean expensive skin care, but care none the less.

I am hired to guide you and advise you on what products, colours and looks I believe will suit your skin complexion, bone structure and eye colour. I will create a highly customised look along with you ideas and wants to suit you perfectly. Prior to your appointment I may ask you to email/send me a picture of you, makeup free in order to assess your facial features. I will also ask you for a couple of reference items, in terms of pictures of makeup styles you love. You should also send me a couple of pictures of makeup looks that you generally wear to ensure we are on the same page of how you see yourself and what expectations you have for yourself. I will create a look with your references all the while discussing what I am doing, how I am doing it and what products I am using and why. For every one of my clients my aim is to teach you some tips and tricks so you can recreate elements of the look after you leave my makeup chair. Just so you know I am always available to help you after you have been to see me. I will always be happy to advise you on what products to buy and products that will suit you. Just get in touch, you'll have my number.

I do! I prefer the use of cluster lashes and individuals over the use of strip lashes, but if you have a particular preference, we can certainly try them out. (cluster lashes will always be applied ON the lash line and not under) note: I always prefer people to NOT have eyelash extensions on the day. This is usually because the thicker they are, the harder it is to clean up the likes of eyeshadow and eyeliners and can become rather time consuming. If this is something you always wear, then we can assess on the preview. An LVL is also preferred to be done AFTER the wedding, as the application of lashes is almost impossible. if you do not wish to have faux lashes applied, an LVL is a fabulous option for the day.
