Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a wedding comes with lots of questions! Here you’ll find everything you need to know about booking your bridal makeup, from trials and timings to travel and getting ready on the wedding morning. If there’s anything I haven’t covered, please feel free to get in touch.
-
A non refundable £25pp booking fee is required to secure your date and will be deducted from your final bill. Your date is not fully booked until the deposit is paid. If you are wanting to go ahead and book I will send you my Bridal contract and booking fee invoice.
-
Based in Fife, I travel throughout Edinburgh, the Lothians, St Andrews, Perthshire, Falkirk and across Central Scotland. Travel further afield is also available by request. The travel fee is 0.75p per mile to & from the venue. The travel fee will be added to the final bill. For destination weddings please send a separate enquiry.
-
My maximum numbers for the morning is 6 people depending on the decided looks. If the makeup is softer it usually takes less time. Bolder looks & winged liner etc a 1hr time slot would be ideal. If you have a Bridal Party of 7/8+ I have other Makeup Artist friends that you can check their availability with. My minimum amount I travel for is 3 people, if there is less than 3 people there is a surcharge (see prices)
-
Each makeup takes roughly 1hr depending on the makeup looks. I aim to finish everyone’s makeup 1hr before the ceremony time so that there is plenty time for photos and getting dresses on etc. These timings should be taken in to account with the start time on the morning and a plan for time slots is always really helpful.
-
I suggest 6-8 weeks before your wedding but if you have an occasion or want to use it for your hen party etc then you can have it whenever suits you. If you require a Saturday I’d suggest booking ahead as Saturdays are usually busy with weddings. I am available some Sundays if that would be preferable. Trials are held within my home address in Dalgety Bay.
-
I use mostly Nars for skin prep and foundations, concealer etc. For powder, blush, bronzer, shadows, lips etc I tend to switch up different products from Mac, Nars, Fenty, Charlotte Tilbury, Armani, Makeup by Mario, Iconic. If you have any products you prefer to use from your own makeup bag then please bring them along. I’m more than happy to use anything that you are comfortable wearing.
