Do you offer bridal make-up and make-up for the wedding party?
«Yes, we offer bespoke bridal make-up, including a trial and wedding-day application, as well as make-up for bridesmaids and other members of your wedding party. Your trial gives us time to discuss your ideas and refine your look ahead of the big day.
Will my make-up last throughout the day or evening?
«Your make-up artist will use professional make-up techniques to create a finish suited to your occasion, with longevity in mind. How well your make-up lasts can depend on your skin type, the products used and the conditions throughout the day. These factors will be taken into account, and advice will be given on preparing your skin and maintaining your look.
How far in advance should I book my make-up appointment for a special occasion?
«We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly if you're getting ready for a wedding, prom or a popular date during the festive season. This gives you the best chance of securing your preferred appointment time and allows you to plan the rest of your preparations around it. If you have a specific event date in mind, contact us to discuss availability.
Can I bring inspiration photos to my make-up appointment?
«Of course. Inspiration photos are a great way to show us the colours, finishes and overall style you have in mind. We'll use these as a starting point, adapting the look to suit your features, skin tone and personal preferences rather than simply copying a picture.
What should I do if I have sensitive skin or allergies to make-up products?
«Please let us know about any known allergies or skin sensitivities before your appointment. This allows us to discuss your needs and consider suitable products where possible. If you've experienced a previous reaction to cosmetics, it's important to tell your make-up artist so we can discuss the safest approach.
Can you help me choose a make-up look if I don't know what suits me?
«Of course. You don't need to arrive with a particular look in mind. We'll talk through the occasion, your usual make-up preferences and whether you'd like something natural, softly defined or more glamorous. From there, we'll help you choose a look that complements your features and feels comfortable for you.
