BRIDAL BEAUTY
WHAT DOES A BRIDE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BOOKING HER WEDDING MAKEUP WITH A MAKEUP ARTIST ? You need to make sure you like their style . Many makeup artists have different styles so you need to look at what look you want to achieve and find an artist that suits .
TALK US THROUGH WHAT HAPPENS DURING A MAKEUP TRIAL First we would discuss the wedding , what colour schemes the bride has and any particular looks she wants to achieve . Then I want to talk to them a bit about how they wear their makeup day-to-day so I know how soft or how full coverage to go .
We check about skin types so I can apply the right skin prep and know if I need to use hydrating products for dry skin or use matte products for oily skin types . We can try different lip colours too so we achieve the best possible look for the bride .
IF A BRIDE IS HAVING THINGS LIKE A SPRAY TAN , LASH EXTENSIONS OR BROW LAMINATIONS BEFORE THE BIG DAY , CAN THESE THINGS AFFECT THE MAKEUP BEING USED ON HER / THE OVERALL LOOK ? I say always have trials for everything ! You need to know if you react to any products in advance so you don ’ t have any allergic reactions too close to the wedding . We can of course cover spots but if your eyes swell up due to a reaction , this we can ’ t cover !
IF A BRIDE WANTS HER MAKEUP DONE ON THE MORNING OF HER WEDDING , PLUS THE BRIDAL PARTY , HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD SHE ALLOW ? I like to allow myself an hour for the bride , 30 minutes for the mother of the bride and then around 45 minutes for bridesmaids .
HAVE YOU SEEN ANY NEW BRIDAL MAKEUP TRENDS EMERGING ? Everyone seems to love a soft glam look at the moment . Something soft but that offers flawless skin that lasts all day .
