Kirstie Purse Make Up Artist

I love to get to know my brides before at their trial, and via email/txt, so I can offer not only a beautiful make up for my brides, but I can get to know them a little better, so when something like this happens they’re confident enough in me to help in any situation. My most memorable wedding was a larger bridal party bride of 6, it was a really early start to the day, just so calm and peaceful lots of laughter and story's of how the couple met, especially the gift the bride had for the groom a guitar from a very well known artist who was the grooms idol, it was amazing!!!! the morning picked up and the room became a bit overwhelming for my bride, some wedding jitters started to show, the bride looked to me and I knew she needed some space and time to re claim her thoughts and nerves, which I did calmly for her, she just need time to gather her thoughts, we were back to making beautiful make up in no time and still stayed on track for my brides timings

Bohemian, soft glamour, flawless, captivating, naturally defined

That my brides loved their wedding make up enough to recommend me after I have been their make up artist

Find inspiration that you love and work you’re wedding around that dream

It’s lovely to see those little connection between a bride and groom with something special that bonds them

I usually connect with the bride when it comes to bridal make up, usually through email, Finding out what she loves and her ideas and thoughts for her theme and styles, Then invite her to have a trial to go through the skincare and make up ideas, finding what style she prefers, Then trying the beautiful products I have to offer, all ideas and thoughts are welcome I encourage the bride to come in white or cream as it’s the best colour when matching wedding colours for the day.

A This is an easy one, I absolutely love the excitement the moments in the morning getting my bride ready seeing her for the first time in her dress and hair and make up, seeing everything come together and seeing my bride look the most beautiful she can be

My number one tips for brides would be skin care all the way!! look after your skin find a skincare range you love and that works for you, so your skin is in optimal health, your skincare is like the canvas you paint a beautiful picture up on, so your make up will sit beautifully on the day of your wedding and stay flawless from day to night

You will see I like to get to know my brides before the wedding day by doing trials and via emails, I like my brides to trust me and Know that I’m there to help them anyway I can, from helping with those little touch ups to fitting veils, so that if things happen to get a little bit crazy on the morning of the wedding they can trust in me to calm the situation down quickly and get back to making you look beautiful

I like to give my brides a Check list of products that they might like to use during the day of the wedding, a good skincare routine is the best prep for keeping your foundation base in place, 4 things I like to recommend for the day are lipstick,gloss,eyeliner, powder, blush have them in a little bag close by on the day with one of your bridesmaids
