FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
What is your most memorable wedding?
They're all memorable it's too hard to choose!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
From Natural, Sophisticated, Glowing makeup to Colourful, vibrant and alternative Makeup.
What about your business are you most proud of?
Ooh so many things, being published in wedding magazines has been amazing but personally being shortlisted for London Fashion Week is one of my proudest moments - unfortunately I couldn't accept as I had other wedding commitments but I will ensure I keep the next date free!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
You need to have a personal connection with the people who are helping you to plan and bring your wedding vision together - on one of the biggest days of your life you should be surrounded by people who reassure and put you at ease so you can focus on enjoying your day.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Probably when I was given a personalised champagne flute by one of my brides so that I felt included in the bridal prep party - was very thoughtful and sweet.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Usually after confirming that I am available we will have a consultation to discuss your needs in more detail, if you decide to book with me We will book your makeup trial and your wedding date. In the lead up to your wedding day I will be in touch to offer hints and tips so you can prepare for your makeup trial, we will have a catch up a few days after your trial to confirm that you are happy with your look and makeup wear time.
On your Wedding day I will arrive promptly at your chosen location and we will have a relaxed and fabulous time prepping you for your amazing day!
What do you love most about your job?
The way makeup brings out an inner confidence and the reaction when the bride has her big reveal
What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?
If you don't have a skincare regime you NEED one ASAP! Cleanse, Tone, Moisturise twice daily. - It will become quick easy and fuss free and will make a huge difference to the finish of your makeup!
How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?
Helping a bride feel calm begins before the wedding day, I like to keep in contact so the bride has no worries that she will be left without an MUA turning up on her wedding day.
On the day bridal prep can feel a little overwhelming for the bride because people are busy getting themselves ready and occasionally the bride can be left feeling like she doesn't have anyone to focus on her which is where Hair and Makeup Artists can provide that 1-1 support and be on hand to listen, calm and reassure the bride aswell as have a little giggle and dab away a few tears. Each bride is different but just having someone there for them really makes a difference.
What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?
Start a Skincare routine as soon as possible to get a smooth hydrated base for your makeup.
And Eat! so many brides forget to eat and drink on the wedding morning, the last thing you want is a grumbly tummy ruining your entrance or vows plus it helps ease a nervous tummy.
