Makeup by Alexandra

My most memorable wedding was when I did a group of 7 and a lot of them have never worn makeup before. They were all so happy with it especially the mother of the bride as she gave me a hug and almost cried of happiness when she saw her makeup.

Very natural to soft glam bridal makeup. Instagram @makeupbyalexandra.x to see my work or www.makeupbyalexandra.co.uk

What makes me proud is that anything is possible and a big highlight for me was doing my first red carpet makeup in 2022 for the soap awards!

Once your venue is booked and you have a date that’s the time to start contacting your suppliers. Better to look too early than too late.

My favourite touch that I’ve seen at a wedding is sparklers as they look amazing in photos! Or picking someone to where a blue dress for your something blue.

When a couple first contacts me I get them to then fill in my booking form so I have all the right info. After this you’ll get an email from me with all my info. After this you’ll then secure your booking with a deposit and then we’ll look at dates for trials.

What I love most is that I get to spend the best day of my clients life’s with them and it’s very special for everyone on the morning.

My no.1 tip is to try and buy a lip stain for under your lipstick so your lipstick stays longer. I also provide a top up kit for all brides.

I like to make sure on my end that I’ve got plenty of time so nothing is delayed and so if anything there’s more time for the bride to relax.

Buy a pressed powder and lisptick to top up with and also they’re nice to keep knowing they were your wedding makeup products. I can also provide a small top up kit if not.
