My many achievements including London Fashion Week (nail team), Miss London Beauty Pageant (makeup artist), official makeup artist for Miss British Beauty Curve & Miss International Curve.
Think of yourself too! Treat yourself as well as your guests, you deserve it & it is your day! Avoid leaving things to the last minute to avoid disappointment. Most importantly, Enjoy your time planning & enjoy the day! Time will fly by!
This was actually a wedding I was a bridesmaid at and the brides dress burst open before walking down the isle. Our amazing photographer had a sewing kit in her bag and helped to sew her into her dress! It was so amazing that she had it with her and even helped fix the issue!
As a makeup artist it's very rare I get to meet the groom as the bride is who is usually having my services. I like to take time with trials as there's nothing worse than a rushed trial! Trials are about working together to get the perfect look that makes the bride feel comfortable, confident & beautiful. On the day I will travel out to where the bridal party are getting ready, once everybody is ready I will check everybody over and leave you to your finishing touches.
The confidence I can give a person from something that for me is a passion and something I absolutely love to do!
Focus on your skin care! See a beautician who offers facials and get the correct skin care to start to prep before the wedding. Skin care is so important to creating a beautiful base so starting a few months before the wedding is recommended & drink lots of water!
I like to keep the atmosphere calm and exciting. Its all about the bride enjoying her wedding morning and if there's something she's stressed or concerned about, I try to help where possible or take her mind off it whilst the bridesmaids deal with it.
Keep a few products for touch ups in one of your bridesmaids bags. If you're oily skinned a little compact powder to keep away any shine will be super helpful! As well as a lipstick as when you eat and drink it will budge, so keeping a lipstick will mean your lips can be touched up as and when you feel necessary.
