Wedding Hair, Makeup & Beauty in Bedford

Relax and enjoy your morning knowing you are in expert hands.

This all-inclusive package includes your full bridal hair and makeup on the wedding day. Available for venues across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire Cambridgeshire, London, and Essex.
1.Consultation Pre-application discussion: Understanding my client's vision, preferences, and any skin sensitivities or allergies. This helps in tailoring the look, whether it's for a special event, photoshoot, or everyday glam.

2. Skin Prep & Priming Cleansing and moisturizing: Ensuring the skin is prepped for makeup application to achieve a smooth, long-lasting finish. I also apply primer to ensure makeup stays intact throughout the day.

3. Foundation & Concealing Base application: Selecting the right foundation and concealer for a flawless finish. This includes color matching and ensuring the right texture for the skin type, whether matte, dewy, or satin.

4. Eye Makeup Brows, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara: Creating a customized eye look to complement the client's features. This could range from a natural eye to a more dramatic, bold eye depending on the occasion.

5. Blush, Contouring & Highlighting Face shaping: Using blush, contour, and highlighter to enhance the structure of the face and create a balanced, radiant appearance.

6. Finishing Touches Setting: Applying setting spray or powder to lock in the makeup and ensure longevity throughout the day or night. Lip color: Matching lip color to the overall look and ensuring it complements the skin tone.

My Experience I’ve been a professional makeup artist for 20+yrs with experience in everything from everyday glam to special occasions like weddings, editorial shoots, and red-carpet events. After 15 yrs at Sky TV full-time, I decided to branch out and become freelance, I've never looked back. My approach is all about enhancing natural beauty, tailoring the makeup to suit each client's personality and the event's theme. I stay current with makeup trends, techniques, and products to ensure that my clients look and feel their best. I believe that makeup should be an extension of someone's individuality, and I take pride in making sure they feel confident and stunning. If you're interested in a particular style or service, feel free to reach out! I’m here to make your beauty vision come to life.

Please note: This package is strictly for the Bride only. To add bridesmaids, please book our 'Classic' or 'Deluxe' packages instead."
