Bridal trials typically last about two hours and are held at my lovely studio (located in my garden). The cost for a trial is £60.

I use a range of luxury products that are both photogenic and designed to make you feel radiant.

Bridesmaids usually don’t have trials, but I’m happy to accommodate if necessary. Travel fees will be added based on the venue’s location and the time it takes me to get there. If you’d like to secure your date, you can do so via direct message on my business Facebook page (this is preferred as it allows for longer messages). If you don’t have Facebook, no worries at all—just reach out however works best for you! Stay Connected:
Please follow me on social media to stay updated on all my latest work and for a closer look at my signature style. Simply send a “Hi” via any platform, and we can continue our conversation there, as sometimes email messages go unnoticed. Lastly, please take a moment to read my Terms & Conditions on my website, which are located at the bottom of my Bridal page.

Melanie Hedley Make up Artist Full Description

I am a professional freelance Make-up Artist based in Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne and surrounding areas. I specialise in bridal, photographic and occasion make-up. Having originally trained as a Beauty Therapist, I quickly realised my main passion was make-up and the real kick i get out of making people feel good about themselves. I absolutley love make up and have always had a passion about learning different looks and techniques and understand the importance of keeping up-to-date with all the trends. I'm constantly keeping up with many new techniques such as strobing & contouring however not everyone needs these new looks and quite often it's the real classic make up that stands the test of time. I'm very proud to say that I can make any woman regardless of age look and feel wonderful. I believe that all women have unique amazing features that can be enhanced to bring out their own individuality and beauty. Over the years I've gained experience working within fashion, photographic, cosmetic and bridal industries. I even appeared on a TV programme called 'Make Over Mum', which aired on Tyne Tees Television for a whole season. What a wonderful experience which gained me a lot of valuble expertise. I'm sure in many years i will pluck up the courage to watch and laugh at my geordie accent . I have been offering a professional bridal, prom and occasion make-up service since 2000. Working within the beauty industry has kept me up-to-date with the latest trends, looks and products. Most of all working within the beauty industry has allowed me to gain an wealth of knowledge. I love finding out about newly launched products and often talk and share my favorites on Facebook. Some amazing new products have launched over the past few years as well as new cosmetic brands. So what have you got to lose get in touch and secure your special day.

I could give 10 stars I would. Melanie is a genuinely wonderful person who made me feel so relaxed and I ended the lesson feeling a million dollars!! The recommendations and the processes she showed me where exceptional and made me realise that taking the correct steps and using the correct products makes all the difference. Mel is very knowledgeable and patient . I learned so much at one of her One to One masterclasses .

Melanie did my wedding make up in March and also my 3 bridesmaids and my mum. She is so talented, making us all look beautiful in our own styles. Not only that, having to get up at 5.30 was made so much easier because of all the laughs we had that morning. I'm so glad I came across Melanies page because she was the best person to have. Also the little gift was such a nice touch! Definitely go with melanie Love Comment Share

L Lisa Johnson Local Guide • 42 reviews ••• a week ago It took me a long time to choose a makeup artist for my wedding because, being Brazilian, I see some cultural differences in makeup styles, so l was worried I wouldn't find someone who could preserve my identity and natural features. But I'm so glad I found Melanie! She's very reliable and super easy to communicate with, exactly what I needed when booking suppliers from the other side of the world. She was very sweet and accommodating and ma

Absolutely in love with my bridal make up from Mel! I wanted a look that felt natural but still special, and Mel delivered that and so much more. From the very beginning she really listened to what I had in mind, made me feel so comfortable, and was such a pleasure to be around. On the wedding morning she went above and beyond - not only did she create the most beautiful, flawless make up, but she also put me completely at ease and brought such a lovely, calming energy to the bridal party.
