Frequently Asked Questions

Should I have a trial?

Trials are a great way to see how beautiful you will look in advance and make any changes to your look. These can take place weeks or months prior, and can include many different looks. Usually only the bride decides to have a trial but sometimes mothers and the bridesmaids want one also. It is completely up to you. I have many photographs for you to look at but please feel free to bring along some with you

Can you travel to me?

Yes, I will come to whatever location is convenient for you on the day, a small travel fee may apply depending where you are located.

Do I need to do anything before my trial?

All I ask is that you come with a clean face; please gently exfoliate and moisturise. I recommend that any waxing should be done 2-3 days prior to both the trial and your event to avoid any redness.

Is there anything I need to bring for my makeup trial?

Yes, it's recommended that you bring along pictures (magazines etc) of makeup looks you like, along with photos or color samples of your outfit for the day. This will help give me ideas and help create a look that will be perfect just for you!

How long does makeup application usually take?

I always allow 1 hour per person on the day of an event and 1.5 hours for a consultation.

I rarely wear makeup and when I do it's not much. Can you use minimal makeup?

Every look I create is personalised; so if you are after a natural look I will achieve that for you.

What makeup products do you use?

I use only the highest quality of professional products such as MAC and Napoleon.

Will my makeup stay on all day and night?

The products I apply will hold your makeup for as long as possible; however makeup may still move with eating, drinking and sweating. Touchups will be required for the lips and I recommend a touch up gloss and for the face an anti-shine powder which I can recommend to you on the day of your trial.

When my makeup is done, how will I touch up later?

You should only need to touch up your lips, and apply some powder for shine. When you are happy with the look we have created, I will write down the key products that will be useful to you on the day. You can purchase these at your own expense or I am able to do this for you on request.

What should I have done first, my makeup or my hair?

I personally find it best to have your hair styled first. This way your makeup will not only suit the style better it won?t heat up with any styling equipment.

Do you offer hairstyling?

I am a fully qualified hairdresser who offers hair and makeup for photo and commercial shoots. I work alongside Kira from "Oshun hair retreat". Kira specialises in bridal hair and has over seven years experience in the industry, we are available as a team and can also be individually booked.
