Makeup that lasts from vows to the last dance

Skin-first bridal artistry for the bride, her family and her party — scheduled minute by minute around your ceremony, so the morning feels calm and every photograph looks like you.

The wedding morning

Planned backwards from your ceremony

Every booking starts with one question: when do you walk down the aisle? Here is a sample schedule for a 2 pm ceremony with a bride and four people in the party.

  1. 08:30Arrive

    Set up by the window

    We arrive with lighting, a chair and a full kit, choose the best daylight in the room and begin with a calm skin-prep ritual for the bride.

  2. 09:15Party

    Family & bridal party

    Mothers and attendants go first, around 40 minutes each, so the bride can breakfast, relax and step into the chair last.

  3. 11:30Bride

    The bride's chair

    A full 90 minutes: complexion, eyes, lashes and brows, then a setting routine chosen for your venue, weather and tears.

  4. 13:15Finish

    Veil, lip & hand-over

    We help pin the veil or dupatta, check every face in camera light, and leave you a touch-up pouch with your exact lip shade.

Earlier ceremony, larger party or a second look for the reception? We add a second artist or adjust the timings — your schedule is written out and shared two weeks before the day.

Looks built to photograph true

Most brides land somewhere between these. Your trial is where we tune the balance — warmer, softer, bolder — to your skin, outfit and venue light.

  1. Soft luminous

    Thin, skin-like base, cream blush layered with a light powder, fluttery individual lashes and a stained lip. For daylight ceremonies and garden venues.

    Finish
    Satin glow
    Suits
    Outdoor, daytime
  2. Saffron heritage

    Warm gold and bronze lids, defined liner, sculpted complexion and a deep rose or brick lip that holds its own against embroidery and heavy jewellery.

    Finish
    Radiant, sculpted
    Suits
    Lehenga, saree, red bridal
  3. Evening editorial

    A smoked, diffused eye, a precise brow and a satin-matte base built to stay put under candlelight, flash photography and a long night of dancing.

    Finish
    Soft matte
    Suits
    Evening, reception
Makeup brushes, compacts and lipsticks laid out on a table
Every kit is sanitised between clients, with fresh disposables for each face.
Planning notes

Before you book

The practical answers brides ask for most while comparing artists.

How far ahead should we book?

Popular weekend dates fill first, so enquire as soon as your venue and ceremony time are confirmed. Midweek and winter dates are often available at shorter notice.

Do I really need a trial?

We strongly recommend one. It lets us test products on your skin, agree on intensity and lashes, and time your chair precisely. Book it four to ten weeks before the wedding, ideally when you have your hair trial or outfit fitting.

Do you travel to our venue?

Yes. We come to your home, hotel or getting-ready suite with lighting and a chair. Travel within our service area is included; destination weddings are quoted individually with travel and overnight costs listed separately.

I have sensitive or reactive skin. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Tell us about allergies and skincare in your enquiry. We patch-test at the trial, work with fragrance-free options where needed and can use products you already know your skin tolerates.

Will the makeup last through heat and tears?

Long wear is planned from the base up: skin prep chosen for your skin type, waterproof lash and liner formulas, and a setting routine matched to the season. Your touch-up pouch covers the evening.

How is my date secured?

Once we confirm availability, we send a written booking summary. Your date is held on receipt of a deposit, which is deducted from the final balance due one week before the wedding.
