Question 1

How do I reserve my wedding day?

Accepted Answer

If you'd like to reserve your wedding date you can do so by paying a £50 booking fee.   This booking fee is redeemable against the Bride's practice fee. I can't reserve a wedding date without receiving a booking fee unfortunately.

Question 2

Does a bride have to have a makeup practice?

Accepted Answer

Yes! A makeup practice is the opportunity for me to meet you and get your makeup look 100% right so that it looks perfect on the wedding day. I also need to see how the makeup sits on your skin during the day and make any tweaks if needed. You don't want to have to make decisions about your makeup on your wedding day!

Question 3

I have a large bridal party - can you accommodate them all?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if timings allow, I can work on all of your bridal party. As I've been a bridal makeup artist for many many years I'm very quick at applying makeup.  If we are going to be pushed for time, you have a venue that won't allow early entry or you have a very early wedding I can bring another makeup artist with me. The fee for this is £60.

Question 4

I don't wear much makeup. Do I need to wear lots on my Wedding Day...I'm worried I won't look like me!

Accepted Answer

If you're not a big makeup wearer you definitely don't need to wear lots of makeup on your wedding day.  I want every bride to look like them on their best day..and your guests to recognise you.  If you don't wear much makeup I will keep your makeup look natural. I use lots of products and techniques that don't overload your skin ...you won't feel like you're wearing makeup at all

Question 5

Will my makeup last? What If I cry?

Accepted Answer

All the makeup I use is waterproof and designed to last all day...and into the next if it's not removed!  The only part of the makeup that would need touching up is the lipstick...all clients will receive a mini lipstick to touch up with.

Question 6

I have sensitive skin - will that be a problem?

Accepted Answer

I have sensitive skin too so all the products in my makeup kit have been trialled on my own face first.. so you should be fine.  All the skincare I use is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. If you have a particular ingredient that you're allergic to I can check if any of my products contain it if you let me know in advance.

Question 7

Are false lashes included on the Wedding Day?

Accepted Answer

I will provide false lashes for the bride on the wedding day.   If other people would like lashes too i'm happy to apply them on the wedding day if they bring a pair with them (I will let the bride know which lashes a recommend).

Question 8

I'm worried my wedding morning won't run smoothly and we'll be late.

Accepted Answer

I will create a timetable for makeup on the wedding morning so we keep to timings and we have a calm, fun morning! In 25 years of working on weddings I've NEVER made a bride late!

Question 9

The room I'm getting ready in is very dark ...will this be ok?

Accepted Answer

I always travel with my professional light so that I have the perfect lighting for applying makeup...I'm actually a bit of a control freak when it comes to lighting!
