    Anyone else a 90's babe?! I loved 90s makeup. I l Anyone else a 90's babe?!

I loved 90s makeup. I lived in a cool toned brown lipstick (Rimmels Heather Shimmer or Revlons Rum Raison where my products of choice) and always added a beauty spot like Cindy Crawfords.
Luckily, I skipped the concealer as lipstick phase!

This beauty took me right back. Cool browns were the order of the day. And doesn't she pull it off so well.

Flawless matte skin (we opted for airbrush makeup) and cool matte lips and eyes, with a hint of champagne shimmer on the mobile lid and inner corners.

Where are all my other 90's girls? Comment with a 🤎 if this was you too!

    Not very! 😆 And this doesn't concern me. Here's Not very! 😆 And this doesn't concern me. Here's why 👇🏻

My followers are LOYAL! My past brides and clients that have stuck around after their wedding always comment on or like my posts, no matter how long it's been since I've been active.

My wedding industry pals are always encouraging me, and chatting in my DMs.

I know 95% of my audience WELL. And I love that. 

I have never pushed to gain more followers who don't really want to be here. I want to keep my page a friendly space where my clients can feel free to comment, laugh (usually at me 🙃), ask me questions, etc, without any judgement.

And I think I have created that 🫶🏻

So, if you're new here, settle in, get comfy and feel free to join in openly with my special community.

    Trial to Wedding morning The first pic of this g Trial to Wedding morning 

The first pic of this gorgeous bridesmaid was taken on the wedding morning. The brief was bronzed skin, soft focus, and natural. What a beauty!

Swipe to see the trial pics and let me know which you prefer?
The only change we made between trial and wedding morning was to add a more glossy natural lip.

This is why trials are so important, it's a chance for you to wear your makeup for a full day ahead of your special day and see what feels comfortable for you. I ask you to keep it on all day and evening if possible, so you can also see it in different lights. Sometimes, what you think you want needs some tweaking after you've given it a test run.

Both makeups look stunning on this bridesmaid, but she felt more comfortable in a gloss.
So which look do you prefer?

    Another beautiful bridesmaids Before & After. For Another beautiful bridesmaids Before & After.
For this beauty, we concentrated on warming up the skin and just bringing a bit of vibrancy. 

I used warm, autumnal shades and kept everything sheer and bright. With just some subtle enhancements on the eyes and brows to keep the overall look fairly natural.

You guys know I love a pop of colour in my makeups, and this sheer hint of colour on the lips is just the perfect amount for those who aren't keen on wearing a full, bold lip.

Save this post as subtle lip inspo for your next look.

    Meet Georgia ~ Wow, what a beauty. Inside and out Meet Georgia ~

Wow, what a beauty. Inside and out.
Georgia got married at @blake_hall_weddings this summer and brought all the colour to her special day.
I absolutely loved Georgia's style, mashing alternative details with a traditional wedding dress. And of course, I got to add my favourite makeup element - the red lip!

Everything came together so well, and just check out that stunning bouquet! Wowza

Congratulations, Georgia, may your marriage be as sweet and as beautiful as you are.

    Is your MUA right for you? Picking your makeup ar Is your MUA right for you?

Picking your makeup artist for your wedding day shouldn't be based on who is available on the day or who is the cheapest.

Your makeup artist and hair stylist are going to be a huge part of your wedding morning. They are going to need to fit in with you and your bridal party and match your energy.

They need to be an expert in the style you are dreaming about, a person you can trust and, most importantly, a person you will be pleased to see at 6am!

For my full guide on How To Choose The Right MUA For You, head to the blog link in my bio.
