Frequently asked questions...
Planning your wedding is such an exciting time, and I know how important it is to feel confident and beautiful on your big day.
Whether you're already dreaming up your bridal look or just starting to explore your options, I’m here to make the process smooth, relaxed, and fun. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions brides ask me.
If there's anything else you're wondering about, don’t hesitate to reach out—I'm always happy to help!
How far in advance should I book my wedding makeup?
It’s recommended to book as soon as you have your date and venue confirmed - ideally 9–12 months in advance, especially for popular months.
Do you offer bridal makeup trials?
Yes, trials are highly recommended and can be scheduled 2–4 months before your wedding. It’s the perfect time to explore your ideal look and discuss your vision in detail.
What happens during the makeup trial?
We’ll discuss your wedding details, style preferences, skin concerns, and try out a full bridal look to make sure you feel confident and beautiful.
How long does bridal makeup take on the wedding day?
Bridal makeup typically takes 1.5 hours. Bridesmaids and others take about 50 minutes each.
Do you offer makeup for the bridal party as well?
Yes! I can provide makeup for bridesmaids, the mother of the bride/groom, and flower girls. Let me know how many people in your party would like makeup.
Can you stay for touch-ups throughout the day?
I will always stay until you are ready to walk down the aisle - I do not work more than one wedding in a day. If you'd like me to stay for photos, a second look, or makeup changes - I can quote for this as an extra.
Do you travel to the venue on the wedding day?
Yes, I’m a mobile makeup artist and will travel to your getting-ready location. Travel fees may apply depending on the location.
What products do you use?
I use high-end, long-wearing, photography-friendly products, my current favourites include Charlotte Tilbury, NARS, MAC, HUDA & By Terry, to ensure your makeup lasts all day and photographs beautifully.
How should I prep my skin before the wedding day?
Healthy, hydrated skin helps makeup sit better. I’ll provide a prep guide after booking, but generally, regular skincare, exfoliation, and hydration are key.
Can you work with sensitive skin or specific skin concerns?
Absolutely. I have experience working with various skin types and conditions. Please let me know any sensitivities or allergies ahead of time.
What if I’m not used to wearing makeup?
No problem! I specialise in enhancing your natural beauty and can create a soft, comfortable look tailored to your style.
Do you require a deposit to secure the booking?
Yes, a non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your wedding date. The remaining balance is due 7 days before your wedding date.
What happens if you’re unwell or unavailable on the day?
In the unlikely event that I’m unable to attend, I have a trusted network of professional makeup artists I can call upon to step in.
Do you offer destination wedding services?
Yes, I love to travel! I’m available for destination weddings, and custom quotes are provided to cover travel and accommodation costs.
How do I book or check availability?
You can get in touch via my contact form, email, or phone. I’ll respond as soon as possible with availability and next steps.
