What my brides get

  • Flawless makeup begins with a good skincare regime. That is why I offer all my brides access to a complimentary skincare consultation to help get your skin looking the best it ever has.

  • Over the last 12 years I have had the pleasure of attending hundreds of wedding mornings. I have learned tips and tricks to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible. Chilled vibes only!

  • Time works differently on a wedding morning. One moment you feel like you have hours ahead of you and the next it’s 10 mins before you need to depart and you still need to get your veil placed. I remove some of this stress by creating a suggested timeline, liaising with the other suppliers where need be. All you have to do is allocate the names.

  • Assisting with veils, buttoning dresses, putting shoes on, and taking flowers out of the water. Think of me as an extra pair of hands as well as your makeup artist!

  • After a quick analysis of your skin on the morning of your Wedding, I will prep accordingly; this could be with a 10 min sheet mask or a mini facial. All will be bespoke to your skin’s needs.

  • Strip, half or individual lashes will be available to you to complete your bridal look if you should desire them.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, you are more than welcome to book for a trial before paying your booking deposit however your date will not be secure until a booking deposit has been received meaning that someone could secure it before you have your trial.

  • As long as my diary availability allows for it then you may book in other members of your bridal party, however my home studio only holds a max of 3 people at one time so you many need to do it over a few sessions.

  • I don’t have a particular preference for what order hair and makeup take place however I always recommend hair first if it is a blow dry service.

  • No, there is no upper limit on numbers however any bookings over 6 will require an assistant and a supplement payment will be due.

  • Yes, I welcome elopement bookings and have packages available for hair and makeup as well as just makeup services.

  • I always recommend trials however I understand that there may be some instances where they can’t take place such as when clients live outside Scotland. If that is the case I am happy to arrange a quick zoom call.

  • I am happy to use clients’ own makeup however I must stress that I have quite a large makeup kit with a selection of foundations and products for every skin type.

  • I am constantly updating and developing my pro makeup kit, however, it consists of luxury and iconic brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, NARS, Hourglass, Bobbi Brown, Rare Beauty, Vieve and MAC. Check out my socials for regular additions and sneak peeks into my kit.

  • Yes, I also offer manicures and brow styling alongside makeup services. Click here to book online.

  • Numbers can be adjusted up to 6 weeks before the date if under 6 people and 8 weeks before the date if over 6 people. After these dates, the original numbers will be applicable and charged accordingly. There is a minium of 4 people for bridal bookings.

  • Don’t worry! Most of my clients have never been in the makeup chair before. That’s why I always suggest a trial - not only to create your bespoke look but also to put you at ease. I always go in with a lighter hand so looks can be built up to the desired level.

  • Absolutely, I always ask for you to wear the makeup for at least a few hours and report back to me with any changes. My aim is to create a look that you are 100% happy with and sometimes that means making some small adjustments.

  • I have no limits to how far I travel. All I ask is that if your venue is more than 1.5 hours away then overnight accommodation should be provided.

For me, makeup is as much about what feeling I manage to create on the inside as well as the visual on the outside.
