Bridal/Wedding Make Up
On the day of your wedding, professionally applied make up will give you a confidence and radiance to be admired by your wedding guests and a perfect finish for your wedding photographs. Whether natural, glamorous or extravagant I will ensure that you look like yourself with that little something extra for your special day. Whatever you have in mind I will listen to your needs and translate them for your own bespoke make up design whilst keeping you calm and relaxed during make up application.
You may decide that you want two different make up looks, one for the daytime and then something more glamorous for the evening. In which case I can visit you for a second time later in the day at the reception venue, for example, to add a little bit more night time glamour and freshen up your make up for your evening celebrations.
At the bridal make up consultation I will listen to your ideas, discuss your colour themes and browse through any pictures or magazines that have inspired you. Then, after discussing your skincare regime, we can find the perfect foundation match to give your skin a flawless finish and carefully select the colours to complete your make up design. Once you are happy with your finished make up I will create a visual record of the make up and note down all of the products used. Do not worry if you have a change of mind after the consultation as any adjustments to your make up design can easily be incorporated into your make up on the day of your wedding.
A bridal consultation normally takes a couple of hours and can be scheduled at any point prior to the date of your wedding, but ideally around six weeks beforehand, and the consultation can be held at any place of your choosing.
On the day of your wedding I will then arrive promptly at the agreed time and location. After the careful preparation and massage of your skin I will apply your make up to the design agreed upon during your consultation. I can also easily work around the requirements of your chosen hair stylist whilst you are getting ready. You will be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the pampering of having your bridal make up applied by a skilled and methodical professional make up artist.
Editorial/Photographic Make Up
Every picture taken is the record of a moment and every portrait can capture a moment of perfection. Professionally applied make up can often compliment the skill of a photographer, the pose of a model and the vision of a stylist.
I am always happy to get involved in any type of project whether it be corporate, educational, a magazine photoshoot or for family/individual portraits. I will always be punctual, attentive to a clients needs and remain focused whilst photographs are being taken to make sure that the make up remains perfect throughout.
I love what you can create with make up from the natural to the theatrical and I am always happy to be involved in the creation of something special.
I am also currently working in collaboration with Chris Freer Photography for studio photoshoots/portraiture.
Occasion Make Up
Having your make up applied for a special occasion can sometimes add that perfect finishing touch to a new outfit, hair style and beauty treatments. From a day at the races to a summer ball, whatever the occasion, I can listen to your ideas and apply your make up in the way that you would like it to look.
I can attend to individuals or a groups if you would like to get ready with friends for a girl’s night out, hen party or school prom. All you will need is to sit back, relax and allow yourself to be pampered.

During a Make Up Lesson we can explore how to get the best out of your skincare, make up and brushes.

I can also advise on you on how to choose and mix different colours, the benefits of different products and brands and show you how to get the best out of your favourite product.
