Your Makeup Trial

Once you have taken the first step in contacting me to have a makeup trial, the girlie fun begins. Some makeup artists suggest a trial to be done just a month in advance, however as I have so many weddings ahead, trials with me are usually anything between 2 to 5 months prior to your wedding day. However, if you have only just realised the importance of a makeup artsit one month prior to your day, do not panic, just give me a call and you never know you maybe in luck as there is always a chance I might be available.

When I arrive at your chosen location to do the trial, I will need to set up my tools in a room which you feel has the best "natural day light" and to have a stool or chair for you to sit comfortably on. Ok, thats the boring bit out of the way, may the bridal girlie fun commence and trust me you will have fun and feel pampered.

By this time, throughout your wedding planning, you will probably know what colour scheme you are going with and that you may have ideas on how you like your hair. You may have a certain image you want to create may it be the popular Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren look of the 50s, or you may like the very natural Natalie Imbruglia look or if you like to wear a lot of makeup you may like the daring glamour of girl band Girls Aloud. This is the time when when we discuss any ideas you may have and I can offer my advice on what look will suit you best. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident with the look you want to achieve and I never leave until you are 100% happy.

A trial should be carried out on every member of the bridal party, however I can appreciate how difficult it is to get all the girls together, may it be work commitments or people live abroad, but do not worry if this is the situation. So long as I can see a small photo of them just so I can get an idea of their skin tone and complexion and then on the actual day I would need to do them first as they would take slightly longer as a trial was not undertaken.

Once I have completed you and your bridal party's makeup trial a 50% deposit is required.

Wedding Day Makeup

I will visit you at home or at your wedding venue on your wedding day and recreate the look achieved at the trial.

Please ensure that all bridal party members have NO makeup on the morning I arrive and it is advisable to wear either a dressing gown or very loose fitting clothing to ensure your make up and hair is not disturbed.

I am also there to help you with anything else to ensure you have a stress free and enjoyable experience, from helping you into your wedding gown, to giving helpful and honest advice you may need with any general organising on the day.
