Brows + Brides

Good hair must run in this family (you all loved bride Emily’s waves). I also loved creating this loose, twisty number on bridesmaid Bronwen @the_mount_without. To keep those waves loose + textured, but locked in! I used @moroccanoil_uk perfect defence (PROTECTION); @lorealpro PLI on each section (MEMORY) + set each section after curling with @evohair flexible hold hair spray (HOLD), finished with @bedheadbytigi shine spray (POLISH). Double tap + show some love for Bronwyn’s epic locks! . . . #beachwaves #hairstyles #halfuphalfdown #texturedhair #naturalhair #cardiffhair #bridesmaidhair #cardiffhairstylist #hmuawales #hairbristol #hairstylistbath #hairstylistbristol #bridalhair #makeupartistwales #waveyhair #waveyhairstyle #makeupartistcardiff #bristolwedding #bristolweddings #coolbride #cardiffhair #modernbride #bohohair #bohobride #bohohairstyle #coolhairstyle #brunettehair

BLOOMIN’ BUSY! Just a little note to say that I’m booked up for most weekends though to November 2022 + the rare weekends that I’m not, I will be keeping to spend some time with my husband + pup. With that in mind, I am unable to do any bridal trials on a weekend + typically can only do these appointments on a Monday or Friday. If you did want to book, I may not be available the lovely Anna may be, so please let me know in your enquiry if you would be interested in booking with Anna 🤍 Lastly, I have a load of 2023 enquiries. I haven’t opened my 2023 diary yet. I planned to do this at end of March, but likely this will be May due to the amount of bookings that I have before then. If you have any questions about booking or availability feel free to ask away via DM or in the comments. . . . #makeupartistcardiff #welshwedding #modernwedding #2022bride #cardiffwedding #weddingswales #muacardiff #muawales #southwaleswedding #weddingswales #cardiff #bristolmakeupartist #welshmua #weddinghairstylist #coolweddinghair #naturalweddingmakeup #bristolwedding #2022weddings #2022weddingplanning #2022wedding

I always get to put makeup on the most amazing faces when I work with @eandwcouture + @moycciahanley was no exception. Natural skin + subtle liner for a cool girl edge 🖤 The new @eandwcouture collection drops in a few weeks + it’s pretty epic.

Undone glam. People often think of Hollywood waves as being super glam, but I’m here to tell you they don’t have to be! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When set + cooled, you can brush these waves out into a barely there cool girl style, that gives a soft it still polished look. Not beachy boho or glamorous, but somewhere in-between + most importantly still gorgeous 🖤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I curl the hair away from the face on each side, leave to set + blast with my favourite @moroccanoil_uk dry texture spray, before doing some serious brushing with a soft paddle brush. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Simple, soft + stunning - do you agree? 🖤 in the comments if so. . . . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hairstyles #texturedhair #naturalhair #cardiffhair #cardiffhairstylist #hmuawales #hairstylistbath #cardiffhairdresser #hairstylistbristol #bridalhair #hollywoodwaves #weddinghairstyles #hairstyle #halfuphair #makeupartistwales #waveyhair #longhairdontcare #waveyhairstyle #makeupartistcardiff #welshwedding #naturalbride #coolbride #cardiffhair #modernbride #coolhairstyle #coolgirlhair #cardiff

Braids babe! I love me some good textured tresses + this little number is no exception. It is actually pretty simple to do, what else did you expect from me, right? What do you think?

Real skin moment for my bride babe yesterday. Back again! Gorgeous Georgie 🤍 I did Georgina’s makeup back last year when she was bridesmaid. I loved the makeup look I did on her. Thankfully she also did + here we are recreating the same look for her wedding at @hensolcastle ✨ This look is all about the fresh + enhancing Georgina’s natural feature, particularly her great skin + eyes. Products used: • @charlottetilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter • @charlottetilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation • @narsissist Radiant Creamy Concealer • @glossier Cloud Paint • @charlottetilbury Eyes to Mesmerise • @beautypie Futurelipstick Luxe Shine Lipstick in “You sexy thing” Congratulations Georgina.

“I'm obsessed 😍 this looks like a hair advert!” Client’s words not mine 🖤 I love helping my brides bring their vision to the real world for their wedding day. Side note: I also tried the @fudgehair Membrane Gas to prep the hair + loved it, gives such grip + grit to the hair to lock in those bridal styles.

Bloomin 35! How did that happen? No pearls of wisdom to share, other than wear SPF. Trust me. It has been a chilled Sunday birthday (ate Burgers and watched Scream), with a quiet week away in Cornwall to come. How was your weekend?

A classic, but still super cool updo on my last bride of 2021 @mollierkjenkins 🤍🤍🤍 This was the style that we threw together in about 10 mins during the trial, using my favourite @moroccanoil_uk strong hold hair spray + @redken texture powder.

The reveal 🖤 I always turn my clients away from the mirror, because while I’m working it is easy to look at yourself + think “I don’t do it that way” or “is she done with my base, I’d like more on” etc. Personally, I like to get a light base on, then move onto eyes + lips as the focal points of a look. Then, I then come back to fine tune the base + add blush etc. This can look a little odd during the process. That is why I never show my clients the makeup process, because it is exactly that, a process + all MUAs work differently. Do enjoy a big reveal?

Glowing + unedited skin ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No filters here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the best pieces of advice I can give you when searching for inspo for your wedding makeup is to look for unedited/unfiltered pictures of real people + real skin.

A special bridal babe today. My friend Elinor ❤️ So lovely to help you get ready for your big day at @sttewdricshouse (I totally forgot to take any pictures of the day look 😭).

The go-to bun 🤍 This one ticks all the boxes: Texture ✔️ Effortless ✔️ Cool ✔️ Oh + it takes no time to put together. It all comes together with good blast of my favourite @moroccanoil_uk Dry Texture Spray + Strong Hold hairspray. What do you think of this bun hun?

These are the lashes I keep raving about. If you struggle with putting on lashes, these are perfect for you. I’m talking about the @kissproducts Falscara Wispy lashes.

TEXTURED TRESSES | for Rachel Half up + half down, with some added texture. Just how I like bridal hair. Simple styles with maximum impact. Easy, breezy + beachy! It’s all in the prep for that textured feel. I always use the @moroccanoil uk Perfect Defence + Dry Texture Spray to prep my brides hair before curling. Once the curls are set, I just use my fingers to soften then + add one last blast of Dry Texture Spray. What do you think of this style. 🤍 in the comments, this is your kinda vibe. . . . #beachwaves #beachyhair #hairstyles #halfuphalfdown #texturedhair #naturalhair #cardiffhair #cardiffhairstylist #hmuawales #hairstylistbath #hairstylistbristol #bridalhair #makeupartistwales #waveyhair #longhairdontcare #waveyhairstyle #makeupartistcardiff #welshwedding #naturalbride #coolbride #cardiffhair #modernbride #bohohair #bohobride #bohohairstyle #coolhairstyle #waistlengthhair #coolgirlhair #fairyhill

Something different for Finlay. Who didn’t even know she wanted a ponytail, until we three together this textured number. Think of it was equal parts fishtail to wavy ponytail. Cool, right? For me, it still feels pretty, but it’s got a bit of an edge. What do you think? Save this to your bridal inspo board, if you are looking for something a bit different for your wedding day 🤍 . . . #weddinghair #weddinghairandmakeup #cardiffhairstylist #hairstylistbath #hairstylistbristol #bridalhairdo #bridalhairstyle #lowponytail #coolgirlhair #beyondtheponytail #fishtailbraid #hmuawales #bridalhair #makeupartistwales #moroccanoil #welshwedding #naturalbride #coolbride #cardiffhair #modernbride #bohohair #bohohairstyle #coolhairstyle #fishtailbraids #westwaleswedding #weddingswales #weddinghairstyle
