First off, a huge congratulations on your engagement and all your exciting wedding plans!
As you start to go over your wedding planning, you might start noticing a few things around pricing, and one common question that pops up (especially in online forums!) is about the cost of bridal makeup compared to regular "occasion" makeup.
I have seen a lot of debate on this subject and sometimes there is a bit of stigma around this in the wedding industry, so I wanted to take a moment to help break it all down for you so you have a clear expectation of what to expect.
It’s not just about applying some foundation and lipstick; it's an investment in a specialised, comprehensive, and truly unique service designed specifically for one of the most important days of your life.

I would recommend getting in touch as soon as possible to secure the dates for a trial and your wedding day. These can be booked in as far in advance as you would like. However, don't leave it too late - I would recommend having a trial at least 6 weeks before your wedding to ensure we create the perfect look you are after.
Collect any images you've found of makeup and hair looks you love. These will give me a clear idea of your vision for your big day. Pinterest is a great help for this.
Please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face so I can properly assess your skin. We'll discuss your everyday makeup routine, how you like to look when you go out, and your dream wedding day look. The more information you share, the better I can understand your preferences.
Throughout the trial, don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything you'd like to change or adjust. I want to make sure you're absolutely happy with the final look.
Makeup trials last between 1.5 - 2 hours. However, if you are booking in for a hair and makeup trial, I allow up to 4 hours.
Your makeup trial is all about creating your perfect look! We'll start with a chat about your vision and look through your inspiration photos. Tell me about your usual makeup routine and describe your dream look. I'll prep your skin and then, the fun part – we'll create your perfect look, whilst explaining the products I am using.
Throughout the trial, and especially at the end, please give me your honest feedback! We can tweak anything until you're absolutely happy. Taking photos in different lighting can also be helpful. The goal is to finalize your look so you feel confident and beautiful on your special day!
Absolutely! You can have as many trials as you like to ensure we achieve your perfect look. However, please be aware each additional trial will incur a cost of £65.
