Frequently Asked Questions

Fill in a booking form and I will confirm if I am available for your date. You will be sent a quote and contract. Once the contract has been signed, I will send you an invoice and you can pay your deposit to secure your date. We can then get your trial organised 6-8 weeks before your wedding, or sooner if you would prefer. You can also book an online consultation if you have any questions before you feel confident to book with me.

Once you have sent me your requirements, I will email you a quote/invoice if I am available on your wedding date. I will also drop you an email to let you know if I am not going to be available for your date.

We may have never met before so I understand that you may have reservations. My hope is that you accept my invitation and come along to a 30 minute online consultation where we can meet and greet, put names to faces and have a chat. You can then 'check me out' without any financial commitment and we can talk about your wedding makeup aspirations and answer any questions you may have. Simply send me an email to arrange a time that works for you.

Simply get in touch via my contact form or give me a call to arrange a no obligation consultation. We can discuss your vision and ideas, I can answer any questions and put your mind at ease that you are in good hands. Then you can either book a no obligation makeup trial to try out my airbrush makeup, or book your wedding directly with a deposit.

A trial gives you the opportunity to meet me, witness my makeup skills and techniques, see airbrush makeup in action, and discuss your wedding vision. I can manage your expectations and we can design something perfectly suited to you - your preferences, skin tone, skin type, natural colouring, and style of your wedding. Having a trial gives both of us peace of mind so we know the plan for the wedding day.

It is best to book your makeup trial 6-8 weeks before your wedding so that you can rest assured knowing you are in good hands and feel confident with your wedding look ready for your big day.

Absolutely! I offer a no obligation makeup trial for £70, where you can meet me, ask any questions, try out airbrush makeup and make sure it is to your liking, witness my personal style and techniques first hand. Once you are happy, you can book your wedding with me and you will still have a full bridal makeup trial 6-8 weeks before your big day.

No, it is not necessary to book a makeup trial for your Bridesmaids or Mothers. However, it is often quite nice to all come together for a girly day and have makeup done so you can envision the full look together. If they don't have a trial, I would still suggest inviting your bride squad to your trial so they can offer honest feedback and discuss their own preferences with me.

The benefits of airbrush makeup include: Long-lasting wear (stays put for up to 16 hours, resisting sweat, humidity, and tears), flawless finish (creates a seamless, natural glow with no harsh lines), lightweight and comfortable (feels like a second skin), photogenic perfection (ideal for HD photography and videography), smudge and transfer-resistant (won't rub off on dresses, hugs, or kisses), customisable coverage (from sheer to full), and ideal for sensitive skin (hypoallergenic and silicone-free).

I use a wide range of products including Airbase, P.Louise, Inglot, NYX, MAC, Anastasia Beverly Hills and Charlotte Tilbury. All my products are kept hygienic - cleaned before every booking, brushes are sanitised between every client using IPA alcohol solution. I also offer a latex-free version of eyelash glue in case you have an allergy.

Choosing the Elegance package (Bridal & additional person) is the best way to get the most out of your bridal beauty experience. Not only does it save you money compared to individual bookings, but it also includes exclusive perks like a Luxury Bridal Lip Kit, premium skin prep, and lashes - ensuring your look stays flawless all day. Plus, with tiered discounts for larger bridal parties, the more you book, the more you save!

I will be able to send you recommendations of hair stylists that I have worked with and trust, and you will be able to book directly with them. I am not offering hair packages at this time, however please enquire as I am able to do some wedding hair styles for small bookings.

I charge a flat travel fee of £10 for locations within one hour of GL2. My main service areas include Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol and the Cotswolds. I previously charged 50p per mile, but to make things simpler (and avoid awkward calculations), I’ve introduced a flat £10 fee instead. This works out as a fair average based on the distances most of my brides are from me. My aim is to keep pricing clear and transparent, so there are no surprises when you book. If your venue is over an hour away from GL2, just let me know when enquiring and I’ll provide a bespoke travel quote.

Once your booking has been confirmed and the deposit has been paid, the remaining balance will be due 4 weeks before your wedding date. I do not accept cheque or carry cash.

Of course you can, as long as you let me know in good time - ideally before the final balance is due. Any booking amendments need to be confirmed as I may not be able to accommodate changes on the day due to time constraints.

You can cancel your booking before the final balance is due. Once the final balance has been paid, there will not be any refunds issued. If you choose to cancel your booking after your trial, you have 14 days to cancel and receive your deposit refunded. After 14 days, the deposit will be non-refundable but no further payment will be due.

Yes, I have Public Liability Insurance. My electrical equipment is PAT tested every year. I am a qualified Makeup Artist and am also DBS checked due to my current role as a media makeup lecturer.

Please leave a review on Google - it really means a lot to me and my business to help let other customers know about my service and your experience. Thank you for taking the time to give a review.

Absolutely! Many mothers I work with prefer a lighter, more natural look. I tailor every application to the individual's comfort level — the goal is always to enhance, never to overwhelm. She'll still look like herself, just her very best self.

Using professional-grade products suited to mature skin, the makeup is designed to last comfortably all day. I also provide touch-up tips so she can feel confident from the ceremony through to the evening.

Yes! I often do both the mother of the bride and mother of the groom in the same session. It's a lovely shared experience on such an emotional day.

Yes. I use gentle, premium products and techniques chosen specifically for comfort and longevity. If there are any skin sensitivities or allergies, just let me know and I'll adapt my product selection accordingly.

I recommend booking as early as possible once your wedding date is confirmed. Peak wedding season (May-September) fills up 6-12 months in advance, especially for Saturday weddings. Weekday and winter weddings have more flexibility, but I still recommend booking at least 3-4 months ahead to secure your preferred date and allow time for your trial.

I recommend booking 9-12 months ahead for peak season (May-September). For other dates, 6 months is usually sufficient. I'm currently booking 2026 and 2027 weddings.

Ideally 6-8 weeks before your wedding. This gives you time to see the look in photos and make any adjustments if needed. I'll also send you aftercare tips so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

Approximately 60-75 minutes for the bride. I always factor in buffer time to keep everything relaxed and stress-free — there's never any rushing on your wedding morning.

A 25% non-refundable deposit secures your date, with the balance due 4 weeks before your wedding. This ensures your date is exclusively reserved for you.

Absolutely! I cover Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire, Cheltenham, Somerset, Wiltshire, and the wider South West. A flat £10 travel fee applies to all locations — no mileage surprises.

A fully personalised 3-hour session where I teach you techniques tailored to your face shape, skin type, and the looks you want to achieve. You'll practice alongside me and leave with skills you can use every day. Plus, you'll receive a free copy of my book 'Make Up Your Face'.

Just yourself! I provide all products and tools during the lesson, plus personalised recommendations for products suited to your skin type and budget that you can purchase afterwards.

The average lesson is approximately 3 hours, which gives us plenty of time to cover technique, practice together, and ensure you feel confident before leaving.

Absolutely! Whether it's learning a look for a wedding you're attending, a party, or simply wanting to feel more confident with everyday makeup — lessons can be tailored to any occasion or goal.

Simply let me know how many bridesmaids you have when you enquire. I'll build a timing schedule that keeps your morning running smoothly and ensure everyone is ready on time.

Absolutely! While I ensure a cohesive aesthetic across the bridal party, each bridesmaid can have their look tailored to their individual features, skin tone, and personal preferences.

Approximately 30-45 minutes per person. I plan the schedule carefully so there's no rushing — everyone gets the attention they deserve.

No minimum at all. Whether you have one bridesmaid or ten, I'm happy to help. For larger bridal parties (5+), I can arrange an additional artist to ensure everyone is ready on time.

Trials are optional for bridesmaids at £50 per person. Many bridesmaids are happy to trust my expertise on the day, but trials are available if anyone would feel more comfortable having a practice run.

Of course! Most brides book their own makeup alongside their bridesmaids. I'll create one coordinated schedule for the entire bridal party, or consider the Elegance Package for the best value.
