Makeup that holds
from first look
to last dance
Skin-first bridal makeup, applied where you get ready and planned backwards from your ceremony time so no one is rushed.
Wedding morning, mapped
Your chair, hour by hour
Every booking gets a written schedule the week before, built from your ready-by time. Here is how a typical morning for a bride and four guests runs.
-
−4h
Arrival & set-up
A lit station goes up near a window. Skin prep starts for the first member of the party.
-
−3½h
Bridal party
About 40 minutes each, working from the latest ceremony role to the earliest.
-
−2h
The bride
Ninety unhurried minutes, working from your trial notes, with time in hand for tweaks.
-
−30m
Dress & set
Setting spray goes on after the dress so necklines stay clean, then a final check in daylight.
-
0
Hand-over
You get a touch-up pouch with your exact lip shade, blotting papers and a mini powder.
Services
Four ways to book
Start with the bridal booking and add whatever the day needs. Each service is quoted once your date, location and party size are confirmed.

Makeup for bridesmaids, parents and anyone else in the photographs, kept in step with the bride's look.
- Tailored to each face
- Lashes on request
- Order set by ceremony role

- Written product notes
- Adjustments until it feels right
Second look
A switch for the reception: deeper eyes, a bolder lip or a fresh set of lashes.
- Timed between speeches
- Refresh of the base
- New lip and liner
- Optional stay until first dance
Looks index
Name the feeling, we'll build the face
These four directions are starting points for your trial. Most brides end up somewhere between two of them.
Glow without shine. A sheer base, cream blush and brushed-up brows. It suits daylight ceremonies and garden venues.
A single graphic line. Clean skin with a precise wing or a smoked lower lash line. It suits city venues and evening vows.
Timeless and photographic. A matte-satin base, a defined rose lip and fluttery lashes. It suits formal and black-tie weddings.
You, rested. Concealer only where it's needed, tinted balm and clear brow gel. It suits elopements and brides who rarely wear makeup.
Skin prep schedule
What to do before the chair
The makeup can only be as calm as the skin under it. After your trial you'll get this schedule, adjusted for you.
- 8 weeks out
Book any facials or peels now. Your last active treatment should fall at least four weeks before the wedding.
- 4 weeks out
Freeze your routine. Try no new actives, retinoids or fragrances from here on. Keep brow shaping to a tidy-up only.
- 1 week out
Tint, don't wax. Brow and lash tints are fine. Any waxing near the face should be done by now.
- 48 hours
Water and sleep over everything. Go easy on salt and alcohol. Moisturise every morning and night.
- Night before
Cleanse gently and moisturise only. Skip sheet masks and new products. Come to the chair with clean, bare skin.
Before you enquire
Good questions
The things brides ask most often while comparing artists.
Do you travel to the venue?
Yes. Every wedding-day booking is on-location, wherever you're getting ready. Travel is included in your quote, and very early starts or long distances are discussed up front.
How far ahead should I book?
Most brides book 9–14 months ahead, and peak-season Saturdays go first. It's still worth asking about short-notice dates, because weekday weddings often have space.
Is a trial really necessary?
We strongly recommend one. It's where we test products on your skin, agree the look and plan timings. Brides who skip it get a longer consultation on the morning instead.
I have sensitive or acne-prone skin. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Tell us in your enquiry and we'll build a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic kit for you. You're welcome to bring your own base products to the trial if you prefer them.
How many people can you do in one morning?
One artist can comfortably do the bride and up to five others. Above that, a second artist joins so that no one's makeup goes on too early.
Will it last through tears and a hot venue?
The base is layered thin and set in stages, with waterproof lash products and a long-wear lip underneath your chosen shade. Your touch-up pouch covers the rest.
