Frequently Asked Questions

My professional kit contains luxury brands of the highest quality such as Charlotte Tilbury, Laura Mercier, MAC, NARs, Smashbox, Urban Decay, and Armani to name a few.  I have invested heavily in makeup kit and it is constantly being updated to ensure the best options are available to me, to match my client's needs.  This allows me to create a long lasting and flawless look.

From past experience, I would recommend at least 6 weeks before the wedding day.  This give us both plenty of time to fine tune the best look for you that matches your skin tone, your wedding dress as well what will look great for your wedding photos and venue.  

This will take place in my dedicated professional home studio in Shrewsbury.

All prices include 10 miles travel from the SY2 postcode.  After that, extra mileage is charged at 50p per mile each way.  For location weddings outside of Shropshire, we can discuss this further upon application.

In short, as many as you like.  Most brides usually book a trial for them, their mother and their bridesmaids.  However, if it is only you having a trial, still feel free to bring as many people as you like.

It usually takes 60-90 minutes for the bride and around 45-60 minutes each for the Mother of the Bride and the Bridesmaids.  Obviously, if there any junior Bridesmaids or Flower Girls these will only take about 10-15 minutes each.  Also depending on the chosen looks, these timing may vary slightly.  

However, this is nothing to worry about because I will create a detailed schedule for the wedding morning and will make sure there is also a little extra time so that no one feels rushed.

My job is not just to make you all look stunning but also to ensure that everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves.

On the wedding morning I will make sure I arrive in plenty of time as agreed on the Bridal Booking Form.  I am completely mobile and have my own car, so relax and let me worry about the weather and traffic.  There is no greater responsibility than being the makeup artist at someone's wedding, so rest assure that I will move heaven and earth to make sure I am there on time.

To secure your date in my diary, I ask for 25% of your wedding makeup cost as a non-refundable deposit.  This amount is then taken off the final total cost which is payable no later then 1 week prior to your wedding date.  This will secure that date for your wedding.

A 25% deposit is required to secure your wedding date and will be deducted from the final balance.  This can be paid by cash or by bank transfer.  Deposits are non-refundable.

Once the deposit has been received, a booking confirmation email will be sent to you.

Trials must be paid for by cash or bank transfer on the day.

The final balance must be paid no later than 7 days before the wedding date.  This can be paid for by cash or by bank transfer.

I do not charge for any travel expenses if  your location is within the Shrewsbury area (15 miles radius of SY2).  For locations outside this area 40p per mile is charged.  Any travel costs will be stated clearly on your Bridal Booking Form.

Cancellations within 14 days of the wedding date will be charged in full.

In the unlikely event of severe illness or emergency, I will endeavour to find a replacement and give as much notice as possible.  If no replacement can be found the final balance will be refunded in full, with the exception of any payments made for trials which have already taken place.
