Bridal Makeup- FAQs

What is airbrush makeup?

Airbrush makeup is perfect for brides as it is extremely durable and waterproof with a lightweight feel. It is a silicone based product applied in a light mist with an airbrush. The application is extremely relaxing and takes just a few minutes to apply. It's perfect for all skin types and tones as I will match the colour perfectly to suit you and with it's matte finish, gives a fantastic appearance in photographs. You can achieve a light or heavy coverage by building up application of the product and it feels much lighter than a standard liquid foundation.

Your trial: What happens?

Your bridal makeup trial is your first and most important step to achieving your dream bridal makeup look. Taking place at my home studio (Blaby, Leicestershire) I will spend time getting to know you so that I can be confident in creating the perfect look for you. We can incorporate any ideas you have or simply create something beautiful from scratch; your look will be unique to you and can be as subtle or glamorous as you choose. Once your are 100% happy I will note down all products used and take photos on my SLR camera to ensure you also love your makeup in photos. 

Your trial: How long will it last?

The trial usually lasts around one to two hours, however I will work with you as long as necessary to achieve your perfect look.

Your trial: When should it take place?

This is down to personal preference, but usually within 3 months of your wedding date as by then you will have a clearer idea of the look you want and can start to enjoy all the finer details of your wedding come together. 

What's in my kit?

I have an extensive makeup kit incorporating professional and premium retail brands including Bobbi Brown, MAC, Laura Mercier, Illamasqua, Dior and NYX. I also have an airbrush makeup kit- this is perfect for the bride who wants the ultimate flawless finish to her look. By using a specialist light-weight silicone based product, airbrush makeup won't budge whatever the weather! 

Will I apply false eyelashes?

Yes these are included in the price of your makeup application. You can choose from a variety of strip lashes for a full lash look, or try cluster lashes for a more natural finish to emphasise your eyes. 

What happens on the wedding day?

I will travel to the venue of your choice at the time agreed at your trial to apply your wedding day makeup. You should allow an hour for the bride plus 35 mins for each additional adult application. Replicating the look that we perfected at your trial, my job is to make your morning that little bit more special. All of the products will have been chosen specifically for you at your trial and you can relax knowing that you won't have to worry about touch ups, as your makeup will last you all day. 

How many people can you apply makeup for?

Including any special relatives and bridesmaids in your morning pampering session makes it even more special for them too. I can apply makeup for up to six additional adults on your wedding day. You can also book them in for a trial if you wish, however this isn't compulsary. You should allow 35 mins per application for these adults on your wedding day. 

What are your booking terms & cancellation policy?

A £50 non-refundable deposit will be taken to secure the wedding date when booking. Remaining costs are payable in full on your trial date. There will be no refund given for cancellations within 90 days of your wedding date and a 50% refund of the full amount (excluding the £50 deposit) will be given for cancellations over 90 days of your wedding date. Mileage is charged at 40p/mile over 10 miles radius from Blaby, if parking costs are required, then this will be chargeable to you also.
