BRIDAL MAKEUP

EFFORTLESS, ROMANTIC, NATURAL MAKEUP FOR THE MODERN BRIDE 

I love to create makeup looks that are effortless, natural, and modern. With a focus on long-wearing, camera-ready, flawless, glowing skin and gorgeously defined eyes using a carefully curated kit of luxury cruelty-free brands such as Tropic, Charlotte Tilbury, and Hourglass. I will collaborate with you to find the perfect look suited to your individual style and vision - ensuring you look and feel amazing on your wedding day. 

I understand that your wedding day is one of the most special and important days of your life. I will be there to support and assist you on your wedding morning, with a calm and organized presence.

Based in Hertfordshire, my bridal makeup service is available for weddings in Hertfordshire, London, and throughout the UK, as well as destination weddings. I love to travel and have worked on weddings in far-flung places such as New Zealand and Egypt!

If you can't take me with you, I offer a bridal makeup lesson, where we can run through your look for you to recreate anywhere in the world.

What to expect 

FROM FIRST CONTACT TO THE BIG DAY

01

Get in touch!

Send me an email or fill out my contact form with as much detail as possible eg. your proposed wedding date & time, location, bridal party numbers, and anything else I might need to know. I will be in touch to confirm my availability, along with sending over my booking form. I require a £50 non-refundable deposit, along with a signed booking form to secure your wedding date.

Payment 

Once we have completed the trial and you are happy with your bridal look I will prepare a running order for your wedding morning and share it with you including your final invoice. Full payment for your wedding date will be required 2 weeks prior to the wedding day.  For cancellation/rescheduling information please see my terms & and conditions.

I will be on hand between now and your wedding date for any questions you may have.

Trial

Once your booking form and non-refundable deposit have been received, we will get a date in the diary for your trial. I hold trials at my home in St Albans unless otherwise arranged. I recommend having your trial 2-3 months prior to your wedding date. Trial payments are to be paid separately. At the trial, we discuss and run through your bridal look. I can help suggest a skincare routine and products to prep your skin for the big day. Or why not book with me for a facial?

Wedding Day

The big day is here! I will arrive 15 minutes prior to starting the makeup to set up. I will require a table, chair, and natural light if available. I will be on hand at the end if required for touch-ups, help with your veil, and any emotional support! You are now ready to go and get married!

FAQS

My make up was amazing and I felt amazing all day! That powder was literally the saving gracing. I am recommending to everyone from now on. Thank you for being so patient and calm on the day also! My mum also sends a massive thank you as you were perfect with her. I will be recommending you to everyone I know who needs a make up artist!

IMOGEN, LONDON

Just wanted to say a huge massive thanks for making me feel like a million dollars on my wedding day. I was super nervous before the trial as I don't wear makeup ever and always think I look silly with it but I've never felt so sure about a decision, I loved it so much and you were so patient and knowledgeable too. On the day I couldn't have asked for more perfect hair and make-up, it looked amazing and I felt great so thank you so much. It also lasted all day and evening with no top-up!

ALICE, SURREY

Hi, Louise! Just wanted to thank you again for your hard work yesterday, it was so great and I'm so happy with the results! I've done a blog post on it for my wedding series.

Louise was an oasis of calm at my wedding and did my make up alongside 2 and my bridesmaids and 2 of my guests. We all looked flawless and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
