Kate Chalkley Makeup Full Description
A wedding is the day where all women want to feel like the very best versions of themselves and their Bridal Makeup should reflect this. I strongly believe that Bridal Makeup should incorperate your favourite makeup look, so that you always look and feel like yourself. I have many years experience in working with Brides of different ages, cultures and backgrounds and they all want ultimately the same thing - to look gorgeous! I will work with you to create your bespoke wedding look to wow your guests and make you feel confident and beautiful. ​ I recommend every Bride should have a makeup trial at least 6-8 weeks before their big day. This is where we can really discuss everything about your wedding and how you want to look. It's a collaborative process where you can show me any picture or photographs you have seen as inspiration and I can tailor make that look to suit you and your needs. This part is just as important and enjoyable for me as the final application as I think it is so important to build a rapport with your makeup artist, so that they can understand exactly what you want and make the whole experience a little more personal and special. I also provide makeup services for the entire Bridal Party, Mother of the Bride/Groom and any addition guests. I work on a mobile, freelance basis, so will always be able to come to you for all stages of your Bridal Makeup.

Kate was amazing on the big day!
"Kate was amazing on the big day, she really listened to what I wanted. She put us all at ease and was the perfect balance for friendly and professionally. I felt great throughout the day, really confident and relaxed."

I would really recommend Kate to every Bride!
On the morning of my wedding day I was feeling really self conscious because (like most brides to be!) I felt like I hadn't slept a wink! I really didn't feel like I could possibly look my best and felt extremely nervous, but that all quickly changed! Kate made me feel relaxed and I instantly felt so much better as soon as I sat in the chair! Having my makeup done felt like a real treat because she uses all high end products. I can honestly say that not only is Kate extremely professional, she is also the kindest and bubbliest person which makes a huge difference on such a nerve wracking day. With 5 bridesmaids, a bride and mother of the bride to do in a short space of time, Kate managed the time perfectly so that none of us had to worry or feel rushed. As for the end result, we all felt amazing as she listened so carefully to what we each individually liked and tailored the look to suit each of us perfectly. If you are looking for someone highly professional but also friendly and someone who really listens to what you personally want, I would really recommend Kate to every bride!

Kate got it perfect!
Kate was absolutely amazing on my wedding day. I'm not really into makeup and was worried about how I would look as I didn't want to too much on but Kate got it perfect! All of my bridesmaids felt so natural and my mum felt 10 years younger! If you're looking for a makeup artist that will make you look like you want to look then go with Kate, I promise you won't regret it.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

When my best friend got married and I was makeup artist and bridesmaid on the same day! I had to get my hair done whilst doing the makeup of another bridesmaid! It was all very hectic but incredibly fun!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fresh, Modern, Radiant, Defining, and Enhancing

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't get caught up in what everyone else wants or expects from your day - make it your own!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

The groom was a musician and wrote the piece of music for the bride to walk down the aisle. Safe to say everyone was in tears!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Through some email exchanges we can discuss what kind of look you want or if you have any pictures or ideas and how many people there would be, I can then provide you with a quote. I would ask for a deposit to secure the booking, and then we organise a trial date. You would always be more than welcome to contact me anytime up until the trial to discuss ideas. The makeup trial is the fun part where we can really get to know eachother and leave you with a finished Bridal look that leaves you at ease about how things will run on the day. We will liase closer to the time about all the logistics such as what time to arrive. I am very flexible and used to brides changing their minds sometimes - I am happy and able to make any little tweaks or adjustments to your look until the moment you walk down the aisle! Final step, you get married looking gorgeous!

What do you love most about your job?

I love helping women achieve the look they've always wanted, and seeing their faces light up when it all comes together on the day. It's really a wonderful moment.

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

Stay classic! If you don't normally wear a bright red lipstick, your wedding day shouldn't be the day to start. You want to look like the very best version of you!

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

Nothing is too much trouble on your day, so I will always be super relaxed, with a bit of lightheartedness. I'm a very outgoing individual so will keep chatting away.

What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?

I will always recommend what sort of products they need to stash in their bridesmaids purse to keep the makeup fresh. Fortunately most of that is down to me! I use products tailor made to your skin type to ensure longevity - but a little too up of lipstick and powder won't hurt!
