Made up by Melissa Full Description
With several years experience working in the skin care and beauty industry and attending the London School of beauty and Makeup and also regularly taking online courses I always keep myself up-to-date with the latest makeup looks, techniques and products to make sure I can give you the best bridal makeup experience. I use various different makeup brands including Bobbi Brown, Urban decay, Giorgio Armani and Charlotte Tilbury. When enquiring with Me I will arrange we have a consultation to discuss skincare and offer advice on how to prep your skin on the build up to your big day, also we will discuss what looks you you would like to trial.

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

What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?
Your Makeup will last throughout the day as the products and techniques used but With all brides we usually go with them purchasing (or me getting it as a part of their package) the lipstick so they can top it up when needed. Also if tears do occur pat don't wipe!
