I have spent years building my kit and only use products that I know perform exceptionally. My kit is predominantly made up of products from premium make up brands.
Some brands included in my kit are: Charlotte Tilbury, Nars, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Esteé Lauder, Mac, Danessa Myricks, Make Up By Mario, Natasha Denona, Peaches and Cream, Too Faced, Bare Minerals - and more!
For a detailed look inside my kit take a look at my “What’s In My Kit” highlight on Instagram
Absolutely! Properly preparing the skin is key to long lasting and flawless looking makeup.
I always begin by thoroughly cleansing the skin and applying a cooling and brightening under eye mask. I then apply a hydrating hyaluronic acid serum, followed by a moisturiser based on individual skin type and finishing off with a nourishing lip balm.
The skincare I use is suitable for sensitive skin. Some skincare brands I use in my kit include: Ebryolisse, Weleda, Vichy, Bioderma and more.
Of course! All of the wedding packages I offer come with a trial included for the bride.
In order to secure and reserve your date a fee of 25% of your total package is required. If for Any reason after the trial you decide you would not like to continue the booking your deposit will be refunded minus £90 for the cost of the bridal trial.
If you would like to book a trial for your prom or special event this can also be arranged.
After booking your trial I will send you a link to complete a “Pre-Trial” form. This form asks all of the important questions about your wedding and bridal party so I can be as prepared as possible and can work with you to create a wedding morning timeline.
After this is completed, it's time to get inspired! I ask that you look for some images of make up that you love so we are on the same page and I can create the perfect look for you.
Please arrive to the appointment without make up and with the inspiration images you love. Wearing a top with a similar neckline and in a similar colour to your dress is also a great idea as it will give you a more accurate idea of how you will look on the big day.
I can travel out to your preferred location* for your trial. Please ensure there is space available to set up the kit/chair/light and access to a plug socket.
During your trial we will discuss the details of your pre-trial form and work together to build your wedding morning timeline. If you have any timelines from other suppliers eg. hairdresser, photographer - I am more than happy to work with their requirements and create a schedule that works for everyone.
We will then look at the inspiration images you have chosen and discuss your perfect look in detail. When you are happy with the brief I will get to work. After your make up is complete I will take photos of you in various lighting to make sure we capture a true representation of your look. I will share these with you after the trial as well as a follow up to discuss your thought and any adjustments you may wish to make.
*Travel charge may apply based on location
