Professional Formal Makeup
From classic beauty to the latest fashion trends, my makeup style for formals can be adapted to suit any style, whether you are after something dramatic or more subtle. Prior to your event we will discuss the look that you are after, and you can show me any pictures or photos that you like as examples. We’ll also discuss the colour and style of your dress and how you plan to do your hair to ensure that everything works well together. With my skills in traditional and airbrushing makeup as well as false eyelash application, I will create a look for you that will last all day and night and which will photograph perfectly.
Professional Wedding Makeup Artist
I always feel honored to be a part of a bride’s special day and I absolutely love working with bride and bridal party to make them look and feel amazing.
I offer a mobile service for weddings and will come to your home, hotel or hair salon so that you can feel relaxed and comfortable while truly enjoying the process of getting ready with your bridal party. I understand that every bride is different, and I love working with brides to create the exact look that they envision for their day.
With traditional and air-brushing options to select from, I can create a makeup look for you that will last all day and night and will look great in all your photos. I also leave you with a complimentary lip brush loaded up with your chosen shade so that you can touch up as you need throughout the day.
For anyone who wishes to have a makeup trial before the big event, I also offer a special package in conjunction with local professional hair stylists; the package consists of the 3 hour hair and makeup consultation to discuss what you want and trial some different products to see what suits you the best.
