BRIDAL MAKEUP
​
"I strongly feel that every Bride should still look and feel like themselves but the BEST ever version!"
​
MAKEUP TRIAL
I am a big believer in booking a makeup trial. This will give us the chance to get to know one another and I can get a real understanding of how you like your makeup to look and feel.
We will spend up to 2 hours together, discussing how you like to have your makeup, what products you usually use, the vision/theme for your wedding and then we get to the fun part - trying out my extensive makeup kit on you!
At the trial, when you are happy with your makeup, I will compile a list of the products I used on you and the specific shades, along with taking some reference photos so we know exactly what your makeup will look like on your big day. At your trial, we will also discuss the important element of timings for your wedding day so we can plan when I will arrive, when to start your makeup and the makeup for any of your bridal party who wish to have their faces beautified too. I will allow some contingency time just in case anything runs over.
​
WEDDING DAY
On the day of your wedding I will arrive in plenty of time to setup my kit and be ready to start at the agreed time. Wedding mornings can be exciting (as they should be of course!) but also frantic and sometimes stressful, so I promise to bring my warm, professional yet calm approach, so you can relax and enjoy your last few hours as a 'Miss'. I will stay with you until you are happy with your makeup and be on hand for any final touches before you leave.
​
BRIDAL PARTY
Sometimes, other members of the Bridal Party like to have their makeup done too. Of course, this is something I happily offer. Whether it be the Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom, Bridesmaids or Flower Girls who just need a little sprinkle of fairy dust, we can discuss this too.
​
​
OCCASION MAKEUP
​
In addition to Bridal makeup, there are some occasions where we would like to feel that extra bit special and treat ourselves to having our makeup done professionally. If this is the case for yourself, please get in touch as I would love to discuss your upcoming special occasion and how I can help make you feel radiant for it.

ABOUT ME
Hi there! I am really looking forward to meeting you and finding out more about yourself but until then here is a little introduction about me...
​
My name is Natalie, I live in Dorset with my husband George, our son Freddie and our beloved Labrador, Nala. I have over 10 years experience of working in the marketing and events industry which I really enjoy but I have always had a passion for makeup and skincare.
When I was planning our wedding I fell in love with that particular industry: going to wedding fairs; coordinating the different suppliers; to all of the wonderful finishing touches to make it bespoke to us. I found it all really exciting! I also had a fantastic makeup artist and really valued the way she made me look and feel on our big day - I felt I was still me but just an extra special version. I have never forgotten that and with my love for makeup and skincare, I thought that is how I want to make other people feel someday. So, here I am!
​
I completed the incredible Bridal Makeup Artist Course at Bath Academy of Media Makeup. I learnt so much from a theory and practical basis which was just what I needed to give me the nudge to go "live" with my makeup artist services.
​
I truly believe that a Bride should still look and feel like themselves on their wedding day. Whether that be a natural, minimal look, to a heavier foundation coverage and smoky eye makeup; whatever your style is, my main focus is to make you still feel like you, just the best possible version!
​
Wedding mornings can be frantic but I promise to bring my calm, friendly and professional persona to put you at ease.
​
If you like the sound of my approach, then please feel free to get in touch, so we can discuss your big day and arrange a makeup trial.
