Makeupbyilaria_
I cover Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and the surrounding counties, and I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work in Ibiza, bringing destination wedding glamour to life under the Mediterranean sun. This experience has shaped my approach to creating makeup that looks stunning both in person and on camera, in any setting.
My style is all about elegance and confidence. I want you to still feel like you — just the most polished, luminous vers

FAQs
What deposit do you require?
To secure your wedding date, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. This ensures your date is exclusively reserved for you and allows full preparation and planning for your bridal preview and wedding morning. The remaining 50% balance is due one month prior to your wedding date. This payment structure allows everything to be finalised smoothly ahead of your special day, so you can relax knowing your bridal glam is fully secured and taken care of.
Where/when do the trials take place?
Bridal trials can take place either at my location or in the comfort of your own home. I am fully mobile and more than happy to travel to you, allowing you to relax in a familiar setting while we create your perfect wedding-day look. Whether you prefer to come to me or have the convenience of a home visit, I aim to make the trial experience calm, enjoyable, and tailored entirely to you.
How long does a trial take?
Bridal trials typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This allows us plenty of time to have a thorough consultation about your dream wedding makeup, your dress, hairstyle, and overall vision for the day. I’ll carefully create your chosen look step by step, showing you each stage as we go to ensure you feel completely confident and happy with every detail. The trial is designed to be relaxed, collaborative, and all about perfecting your bridal glam ahead of your special day.
Do I need to bring anything for the trial?
For your bridal trial, I recommend wearing a white or light-coloured top to help you visualise how the makeup will look against your wedding dress. If possible, having your hair styled in a similar way to how you’re planning to wear it on the day (or loosely pinned up/down in that direction) is also really helpful. This allows us to see the full picture and ensure your makeup complements your overall bridal look beautifully. Most importantly, come with any inspiration photos and an open mind so we can create something that feels perfectly you.
How long do you need on the wedding day?
On the wedding morning, I allow up to 1.5 hours for the bride. This ensures a calm, unhurried experience with plenty of time for detailed skin preparation, flawless application, finishing touches, and those all-important final checks before you step into your dress. For bridesmaids and mothers of the bride, I typically allow around 1 hour per person. This timing keeps the morning running smoothly while still delivering beautifully polished, long-lasting makeup for everyone.
