Imagine getting your ideal clients ask you to trav

Imagine getting your ideal clients ask you to travel all that way because she loves your style. This is such a huge compliment. I’m used to travel for my job but to be asked to be a makeup artist at a venue four hours away without batting an eyelid on costs- that is just the dream.

Why did she book me?

Scrolling Instagram and seeing the same styles of makeup didn’t do it for her. She knew she wanted a bridal glam that wasn’t about overdone skin and heavy eye makeup. She wanted a real no makeup makeup look that focuses on skin and a radiant effect without the products.

She wanted an artist she could connect with and who resonated with what her values were. She told me that she loved watching my stories and felt that I was the one for her.

Choosing a makeup artist can be daunting but it goes to show that the perfect one is out there for you. And if this sounds like you and you’re looking for a makeup artist who isn’t following the crowd and can elevate you without masking you then drop me a message. And don’t panic if you’re not local, I’m always up for a road trip to make your vision come to life.

Booking for 2026 & 2027.

“Get Russian lash extensions! They look fab for we

“Get Russian lash extensions! They look fab for weddings!”

My clients are usually the more natural types and unless you wear heavy lash extensions every day this is not something I would recommend. Natural cluster lashes or a classy LVL all the way 👏🏼

“Fill the room with loads of people! The more the merrier, add in a few kids and a dog or two”

Your wedding morning should be calm relaxed and with those who will ground you. Chaos, noise and over stimulation is not conducive to a stress free getting ready vibe.

“Yes I do just eyes”

Erm no. You don’t book your venue and ask to just use their garden. I don’t work on part services so if there is a reason for this then we can chat and explore why you’re not too trusting with the whole face being done 😉

“Sure let me use your own makeup”

You may have sensitive skin or feel more comfortable knowing what’s going on your face but I have a specially curated professional kit that is suitable for even the most allergy prone bride. So I will not want to use your 2004 foundation 🤪

“Do you want to book me for a trial before you book the day?”

It’s not X Factor and I’m not gonna be in the running against other artists. Your trial is there for us to work together to create your perfect bridal look. Sure you may not 100% love the first look but I won’t let you leave until you do and have settled any worries you may have.

“Feel free to let the photographer grab you at any point while you’re in my chair”

As with all other suppliers I am there to do a job and to do that job to the best of my ability I want you calm and relaxed so Interruptions are a huge no from me. Plenty of time for staged shots after you’ve had your glam. And before the togs come for me- I will have them done in plenty of time if you just back off 🫣🥴

Don’t mind me hiding from the comments after I post this. But who doesn’t like a bit of reality? Here are the things that irritate me most as a bridal makeup artist…. Enjoy 🤪

• Moving rooms or location. Why? Because It interrupts my flow, takes time and eats into a morning schedule. It also means my back breaks that little bit more moving my 38 stone kit. Shout out to venues who let you in at 7am hooray.

• People who interrupt my bride when she’s in my chair. A recent wedding a bride was spoken to 4 times by different people and each time I had to stop, stand back and wait. Let me get on with my job aaaaarghhh. Ask her before she sits down ffs.

• Clients who sit down with makeup still on from last night. I don’t account for removing old makeup and this also impacts on timings.

• Badly applied lashes and tan. Lashes hinder flawless eye makeup cos the little buggers get bent up in my brush or fall out. If you really must have them get fresh lashes that are done by a good lash tech. Same applies for tan. Off orange colours make colour matching your makeup a lot harder.

• Photographers that feel they own the day. We are ALL hired by the bride and if I extend respect to you, I expect the same. You don’t have priority when I have the bride in my chair. I’m not there to do staged shots until I’m done ok? (Waits for trolls)

• Clients who don’t pay attention to my pre wedding tips and start steaming with their makeup done and wonder why their makeup has slid off. It’s make up, heat and steam will affect it. 😭

• Bridesmaids that go bloody awol and delay things. Get in my chair on time 👀 🫢

• Those who insist on being on their phones while I’m trying to do makeup. It’s rude, it’s unnecessary and it makes it a lot harder to try and get in the flow. Wait until I’m done please 🙏🏻

Anything else I’ve missed? I’ll have a think…..

No Makeup Makeup Effortless, glowing bridal make

No Makeup Makeup

Effortless, glowing bridal makeup. No false lashes, no harsh eyeshadow or liner, just radiant skin and a bridal glow that looks and feels like YOU.

I know, harsh. But it’s not really and there is a reason for this; so bear with me.

Asking for a trial usually comes from a place of anxiety. Will I hate my makeup and be tied in? How will I know whether this artist is the right one?

I get it- you are making an investment for your wedding and of course you want to be sure. However your trial is part of your booking, they are usually held 3-6 months ahead of your wedding. So waiting until this close to your big day before you secure your artist probably will mean I’m booked anyway.

Trial dates are limited. For me I run a dairy of not only bridal but lessons, occasion makeup and that’s not coupled with my family life. I just don’t have the space to offer trials to brides who aren’t confirmed as my booked brides come first.

Trials aren’t really the place to help you decide whether you want to book me. The communication we have during enquiry and booking, my reviews, most importantly my work, should be enough to assure you that I will be the person for you.

I do get that it’s nerve wracking especially if you’ve had a bad experience but I’m here to assure you which I’m always happy to do. Trials don’t always mean one look and done. It’s a way to work together to nail the look leaving you confident when you leave my studio.

If you’d like to chat more about your wedding makeup then please feel free to drop me a DM or you can enquire via the link in my bio.

Your date is booked, you’re scrolling beautiful images of brides looking radiant and glowing on their wedding day. How can you achieve that? Well if you’re new to skincare or have been neglecting your self care, the time to start is now.

My brides will always receive a personal skincare plan if they’re unsure or feeling stuck as to what to do first.

Makeup starts with skincare, always!

If you haven’t booked your bridal makeup and want to get your journey started, drop me a message with your wedding date and I can check my availability. I’d love to have you as one of my future brides and a skincare addict 😉

B R I D E • S Q U A D A few tips for your girls

B R I D E • S Q U A D

A few tips for your girls to be as supportive as they can be on your big day:- 🤍

• Know the timings; running late without a doubt throws a wedding schedule so get to know where you need to be and when.
• Arrive with no makeup, fresh skin. I don’t factor in time to remove last nights mascara so make sure you’re organised and get a good skincare routine done the morning of the wedding.
• Be on hand with water to keep your bride hydrated, this goes for food too.
• Steam dresses and remove labels in advance of having hair and makeup done.
• Keep questions to a minimum while the bride is in the chair, this is her time to decompress and relax.
• Have a lipstick to touch up with throughout the day- I often see bridesmaids come unprepared so grab your fave lipstick and pop in your bag.

Tag your girls and let them help you.

The Natural Bride

Who this suits?

Brides who don’t usually wear much makeup, those who want to look like themselves without a heavy coverage of makeup.

Brides who aren’t wanting lashes and layers of eyeliner and heavy eyeshadow

Brides who love to look like they’re not wearing a lot but instead opt for that “no makeup makeup look”

Brides who want to have an elevated and glowing look without the cakey feel

If this is a bit of you then drop me a message and let’s chat about your makeup vision. You can DM with your wedding info or complete the enquiry form in my bio.
