I have been honoured to create the following bride's make-up requirements for the most important day of their lives.  It would be my pleasure to be part of your wedding preparations.  (Photos updated February 2012).
 
On the Wedding Day ...
On the Wedding Day ...
Nothing is left to chance. I work out timings for your bridal party in advance so that there is no last minute rush. This ensures that you feel calm and compossed ready to walk down the aisle.

How long does the make-up last?
How long does the make-up last?
This is a common question. It should last as long as you ie until you take it off. All that will be required is a top-up of lip product.

As you can see these girls partied hard and still their make-up is in place.
Bridal Make-up with Blue/Silver Colour Scheme
Bridal Make-up with Blue/Silver Colour Scheme
This bride incorporated her blue/silver colour scheme in her make-up. So whatever your own wedding style is, I can tie the colours in with your make-up to complement your colour scheme.

I would suggest having your hair done first. I can recommend hair stylists that are mobile and specialise in wedding hair. The advantage of having a separate person for hair and make-up is that you will get a specialist in each and we can work together on two people at a time, thus enabling a later start time to your wedding morning.

The main brief of the make-up was for it to be matifying and to tie in with a midnight blue colour scheme. I used the bride's own primer and foundation - something I am always happy to accommodate if preferred for particular reasons such as unusual skin type or allergies, etc.
