The way makeup brings out an inner confidence and the reaction when the bride has her big reveal
What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?
If you don't have a skincare regime you NEED one ASAP! Cleanse, Tone, Moisturise twice daily. - It will become quick easy and fuss free and will make a huge difference to the finish of your makeup!
How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?
Helping a bride feel calm begins before the wedding day, I like to keep in contact so the bride has no worries that she will be left without an MUA turning up on her wedding day.
On the day bridal prep can feel a little overwhelming for the bride because people are busy getting themselves ready and occasionally the bride can be left feeling like she doesn't have anyone to focus on her which is where Hair and Makeup Artists can provide that 1-1 support and be on hand to listen, calm and reassure the bride aswell as have a little giggle and dab away a few tears. Each bride is different but just having someone there for them really makes a difference.
What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?
Start a Skincare routine as soon as possible to get a smooth hydrated base for your makeup.
And Eat! so many brides forget to eat and drink on the wedding morning, the last thing you want is a grumbly tummy ruining your entrance or vows plus it helps ease a nervous tummy.
