What makeup can and can’t do for you... ⁣ It CAN - ⁣ 🌸 Cover redness, blemishes, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. ⁣ 🌸 Give you a more youthful glow! 🌸 Give your face and eyes more dimension. Correctly applied, makeup will accentuate your best features, such as highlighting your cheekbones or brightening your eyes. ⁣ It CAN’T ⁣ 🌸 Change your skin texture - if the texture of your skin concerns you then this will only be able to be changed with skincare (or sometimes surgery), which can take months (or years) to achieve. ⁣ 🌸 Cover up wrinkles - as much as I would love to, I can’t cover your wrinkles. Actually the more makeup you put over wrinkles usually the more noticeable they are! ⁣ 🌸 Completely change the shape of your face or eyes. I have a few tricks up my sleeve which means I can accentuate your best features, but I can’t completely change your face. Actually changing the shape of your face can only be done with fillers or surgery (which I’m sure you don’t need, cos you’re beautiful as you are!). ⁣ 📷 @hellobluephoto ⁣ ————————— ⁣ #beautifulbridesmaid #bridalmakeupandhair #bridetobe2021 #2021wedding #2021weddings #funwedding #funweddings #yourdayyourway #uniquewedding #uniqueweddings #londonmakeupartist #londonmakeupartists #essexmakeupartist #essexmakeupartists #londonweddings #ukmua #ukmuas #bridalmakeupartistworldwide #suffolkwedding #suffolkweddings #bridalhairstylist #bridalhairstyles #bridalhairaccessories #bridalhairaccessory #bridalhairinspo #softmakeuplook #inspirationmakeup #nightmakeuplook #weddingmakeupideas #weddingmakeupinspo via @preview.app

Hair up or hair down for your wedding? 🤔 ⁣ The number one question when it comes to your wedding hair. Its such a personal thing, and there are pros and cons of both. ⁣ Hair Up ⬆️ - ⁣ 🌸 You don’t have to worry about curls dropping as much, if your hair is prone to that ⁣ 🌸 These styles show off your gorgeous dress much better than a down style ⁣ 🌸 An updo will keep you much cooler on a hot day, or when you’re cutting some shapes on the dance floor! ⁣ Hair Down ⬇️ - ⁣ 🌸 If you’re conscious of your neck/shoulders/arms a down style might make you feel more comfortable. ⁣ 🌸 Down styles can look more relaxed, and laid back. Great if you don’t want to look too ‘bridal’ ⁣ 🌸 You get to show off your luscious locks! If you have a gorgeous head of hair, I’m sure you will want to show it off in its full glory on your wedding day. ⁣ Are you team up or team down?

I don’t think many of us are in the place we would like to be right now (thanks covid). ⁣ BUT as you can’t control these insane circumstances, try and focus on the positives of your situation 🌸 ⁣ You might not be able to reach your career goals or tick anything off your travel bucket list right now. But perhaps you can do some work on your mental health, spend quality time with your significant other or get some bits done around the house. ⁣ Whatever your situation may be, try to make the most of how things are now and you can get to where you want to be later 💗. ⁣ ——————- ⁣ #naturalmakeupday #naturalmakeupwedding #naturalmakeuptutorial #naturalskinglow #naturalskin #weddingupdo #weddingupdos #weddinghairinspo #weddinghairstylist #weddinghairideas #eastlondonwedding #makeupartistessex #weddingessex #essexhairstylist #essexmakeup #ukmua #ukmuas #bridalmakeupartistworldwide #suffolkwedding #suffolkweddings #beautifulbridesmaid #bridalmakeupandhair #bridetobe2021 #2021wedding #2021weddings #luxurybrides #luxurybrides #luxurybridal #bridalinspirations #bridalgoals via @preview.app

Tips on rocking a statement head piece ✌🏻 ⁣ 🌸 Keep your hairstyle simple! If you want an amazing statement head piece (like this one by @bombinistudio), having an overly complicated hairstyle will make things look too busy and overpower your beautiful face! ⁣ 🌸 Make sure it will be comfortable for you to wear. Larger headpieces can be surprisingly heavy! Make sure whatever one you purchase is well made, and fits on your head comfortably and sturdily. The last thing you want is a head ache on your wedding day! ⁣ 🌸 Rock it with confidence! An accessory like this is going to make a statement, and may not to be to everyone’s taste. But screw what old fashioned Aunt Mabel thinks, if you love it then GO FOR IT! ⁣ Tag a friend who would ROCK a statement headpiece 🙌🏻 ⁣ Concept & Photography @carolineopacicphotography Concept, Planning & Styling @the_hullabaloo_collective Venue @upthorpewood Hire @anthologyvintagehire Florist @augustahopeflowers Hair / MUA @vickyjiggensmakeup Dress @poppyperspective Headdresses @bombinistudio Celebrant @michelle_funkycelebrant Stationery @sundownpaper Ribbons / Textiles @ambersrosepreservation Videographer @jayandersonweddings Cake @meeramakes_weddingcakes Our real couple Lisa & Jon @itsleeyall ⁣ ———————- ⁣ #makeupandhairdo #makeupandhairbyme #makeupandhairstyle #makeupandhairartist #makeupandhairstylist #softglammakeuplook #specialoccasionmakeupartist #eventmakeupartist #neutralmakeuplook #dewymakeuplook #londonbridetobe #suffolkbride #suffolkbrides #hertfordshirebride #hertfordshirewedding #ukweddings #ukweddingsuppliers #ukweddingvendors #ukweddingsupplier #makeupartistlondon #beautifulbridesmaid #bridalmakeupandhair #bridetobe2021 #2021wedding #2021weddings #imengaged #imengagednowwhat #theknotwedding #engagedandinspired #weddingbliss via @preview.app

Here’s a cheeky bridal trial hack... ⁣ When you come to your hair and makeup trial, wear a top that’s the same colour as your wedding dress! 👰🏻 ⁣ The colour you are wearing can actually make quite a big difference to your look (especially your makeup). Wearing a colour as close to your wedding dress as possible at your trial, will give you the closest idea possible as to what your complete look will be like on the big day! ⁣ Share this post with a friend who will find this helpful 🌸 ⁣ 📷 @trynhphoto @plentyofpetals ⁣ ———————- ⁣ #bridalportrait #bridalportraits #naturalweddingmakeup #weddingmakeups #bridalmakeups #loosecurls #sleekhair #sleekhairstyles #hairspo #bohohairstyle #essexbride #essexbrides #essexbridetobe #londonbride #londonbrides #essexweddingmakeup #citywedding #cityweddings #countryweddings #ukwedding #weddingmakeupandhair #makemebridalproartist #bridetobe2022 #2022wedding #2022weddings #funwedding #funweddings #yourdayyourway #uniquewedding #uniqueweddings via @preview.app

An ode to 2021 brides 👰🏻 ⁣ I know so many of us had such high hopes for 2021, and now we’ve kicked off the year in lockdown things are starting to feel uncertain again 😖. It’s scary, and it’s unsettling not knowing what’s going to happen, and whether we’re all going to have to up and change our plans again. ⁣ BUT not all hope is lost! You WILL get your special day one way or another. It might mean a date change, or perhaps a smaller celebration than originally planned, but you will get there eventually. ⁣ So keep hanging on in there, try to stay positive and be open to a bit of flexibility with your plans. You will get there, and in the meantime my inbox is open to anyone that needs it 💗. ⁣ Here’s a snap of gorgeous couple Katie & Ben at their micro wedding last August 😍 ⁣ 📷 @clairebelsonphotography ⁣ ————————- ⁣ #naturalmakeupday #naturalmakeupwedding #naturalmakeuptutorial #naturalskinglow #naturalskin #softmakeuplook #inspirationmakeup #nightmakeuplook #weddingmakeupideas #weddingmakeupinspo #bridalhairstylist #bridalhairstyles #bridalhairaccessories #bridalhairaccessory #bridalhairinspo #bohohairstyles #romanticupdo #halfuphalfdownhairstyle #halfuphalfdownhair #texturedupdo #eastlondonwedding #makeupartistessex #weddingessex #essexhairstylist #essexmakeup #uniqueweddingideas #bridesquadgoals #bridesmaidstyle #bridesmaidgoals #weddinginspo2020

My favourite accounts for wedding inspo 👰🏻 ⁣ 🌸 @the_un_wedding - if you’re after some inspo that’s a little less ordinary, this is an AMAZING resource! ⁣ 🌸 @rockmywedding - if you know anything about weddings this one may be a little obvious, but that doesn’t mean Rock My Wedding isn’t packed full of inspiration for brides of all kinds! ⁣ 🌸 @lovemydress - stylish brides rejoice! I love Love My Dress for modern, stylish wedding inspo. ⁣ 🌸 @essexweddingsuppliers - for my local babes, this account is great for showcasing suppliers in the Essex area. If you’re stuck finding a particular supplier, take a scroll of their feed for some local inspo! ⁣ What are your favourite wedding accounts?

My tips for starting a skincare routine.. ⁣ What better time to start looking after your skin than in lockdown? Let’s face it, the majority of us are going to have a little more time to dedicate to this kind of thing at the moment! 😅 ⁣ 🌸 Start off simple! If you’ve not had much of a skincare routine before, going straight in with a 20 step routine will probably be overwhelming! Start off with a few products, and once you get used to it you can add in extra products if you feel you need them. ⁣ 🌸 Get to know your skin type. A skincare routine is SUCH a personal thing, different things will work for different people. Spending a bit of time analysing your skin, doing a bit of research and figuring out what your skin type actually is, is key to cracking the perfect skincare routine. ⁣ 🌸 Just because your favourite celeb or influencer have endorsed a product doesn’t mean that it’s any good! When researching skincare make sure to take advice from people who actually know what they’re talking about - skincare specialists!! @carolinehirons is my personal favourite account for skincare tips. ⁣ 🌸 Be patient! Looking after your skin is a long old slog, most of the time it can take a few months to see results. Don’t be disheartened if you can’t see the difference straight away, stick at it and if a product isn’t working for you, switch it out! ⁣ Let me know your biggest skincare worries in the comments 💗. ⁣ HMUA @vickyjiggensmakeup Photo @gemmarandallweddings Flowers @madeyoulookflowers Model @hollypollyx Styling @laurenpedgeevents Stationary @thejasminecottagestudio & @bluebellpressuk Bridal Wear @adelamour_ Crockery @luxemywedding Napkins @extraspecialtouch Garters @nottinghamlacegarterco Hair Accessories @chezbec Macrame Placemats @thelittleweddingwarehouse Veil @rebeccaannedesigns ⁣ ———————— ⁣ #makeupandhairdo #makeupandhairbyme #makeupandhairstyle #makeupandhairartist #makeupandhairstylist #makeupinspirations #freshmakeuplook #nightmakeup #naturalmakeuplooks #simplemakeuplooks #weddingupdo #weddingupdos #weddinghairinspo #weddinghairstylist #weddinghairideas #hairupdos #hairartistry #hairwaves #hairartists #bohohair #ukmua #ukmuas #bridalmakeupart

3 ways to help your mental health during lockdown ⁣ 🌸 Stay connected with your loved ones. It’s very easy to get isolated during lockdown, so make time for a phone call, FaceTime or zoom with your friends or family. It doesn’t have to be a pre-planned quiz or anything extravagant, just a little human interaction can do wonders for your mood! ⁣ 🌸 Try to avoid scare-mongering in the media. By all means, keep up to date with the news, but if you are finding it overwhelming or anxiety inducing switch it off! You can catch up when you feel up to it. ⁣ 🌸 Get outside! I knows it’s probably cold and raining, but a bit of fresh air, a change of scenery and getting your body moving WILL help your mood. It’s literally scientifically proven to help! ⁣ Tag a friend who might find this helpful 💗 ⁣ 📷 @rachel.bakes ⁣ ————————- ⁣ #naturalmakeupday #naturalmakeupwedding #naturalmakeuptutorial #naturalskinglow #naturalskin #weddingupdo #weddingupdos #weddinghairinspo #weddinghairstylist #weddinghairideas #essexbride #essexbrides #essexbridetobe #londonbride #londonbrides #londonmuas #essexmua #ukmakeupartist #ukmakeupartists #mualondon #engagedcouple #engagedcouples #beautifulbrides #beautifulbridetobe #beautifulbridesmaids #elegantbride #elegantbrides #fashionbride #fashionbrides #luxurybride

Sending out love and positive vibes ✨ ⁣ I don’t think the news about lockdown 3.0 was what any of us wanted to start off 2021 with. It just feels like this is never going to end doesn’t it?! But it WILL. ⁣ At some point, we will be able to see our loved ones again, go on holiday, get married, and do all those other things we have been missing 💗. Imagine how incredible that is going to feel! ⁣ Until then, we all need to be kind and support each other. I don’t think this is easy on anybody! ⁣ My inbox is open to anyone who needs it, whether you are a bride, fellow supplier or just someone who comes across this post!

Why I love beachy waves on brides... 🌊⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A beachy wave is my go to hairstyle when I'm in a pinch, both on myself and on clients. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I LOVE hairstyles that are natural, effortless and not too perfect or overdone. I think beachy waves totally embody that vibe! 🌸⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can add braided details like I have done on Kelly here, turn them into a half up, leave them all down OR use them as a base for a gorgeous, effortless updo. They truly are very versatile, and work on long and short hair alike. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do you love beachy waves as much as I do?

What's the worst wedding advice you've been given? 🤨⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When I was planning my wedding I was told I needed to invite family I had never met, just because they were family and I would be considered rude if not! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I cannot stress enough how untrue this is! It's your wedding, so you invite whoever the hell you want! Anyone who has an issue with this, clearly doesn't respect you or your wishes for your big day. 💗⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What's the worst wedding advice you have been given?

Why you need to take your hair colour into account when choosing your wedding hairstyle 💇🏻‍♀️... ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Before I trained in hair, I never realised how much of a difference your hair colour can make to a style. Here's why - ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Lighter hair, or hair with different tones in it will show up detail and texture MUCH more than dark hair. You can see in this snap of an updo I created on @whitneylloydphotography, her highlights add a lot of extra dimension to the style. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This doesn't mean you can't have a STUNNING hairstyle if you have dark hair, because you can (being a dark haired girl myself, I love brunette hair!). But if your hair is dark, and all one tone there is probably not much point in adding in lots of tiny details such as small braids because they won't be that visible. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Instead, opt for more chunky texture (whether that be braids, twists etc.) which will be more visible, or perhaps a sleek, chic do instead. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ My top tip would be to look for inspo pictures of hair which is a similar colour or tone to your own! 💗⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Tag a bride babe who would find this helpful. 🌸⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ---------------------------⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #hairupdos ⁠⠀ #hairartists⁠⠀ #bohohair⁠⠀ #updostyles⁠⠀ #hairspo ⁠⠀ #bohohairstyles ⁠⠀ #romanticupdo⁠⠀ #texturedupdo⁠⠀ #allabouthair ⁠⠀ #eleganthairstyle ⁠⠀ #simplehairstyles⁠⠀ #weddingupdo⁠⠀ #weddinghairinspo⁠⠀ #weddinghairstylist ⁠⠀ #bridalhairstylist⁠⠀ #bridalhairstyles⁠⠀ #bridalhairinspo⁠⠀ #bridesmaidhairstyle⁠⠀ #weddingupdostyles⁠⠀ #hairforweddings⁠⠀ #essexweddinghair⁠⠀ #ukweddingvendors⁠⠀ #essexmua⁠⠀ #eastlondonwedding⁠⠀ #essexhairstylist⁠⠀ #realweddingmoments⁠⠀ #planningawedding⁠⠀ #luxurybride⁠⠀ #bridalartist⁠⠀ #2021weddingplanning⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

Here are some things I want to embrace more in 2021 ✨⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🌸 Self care! I'm definitely guilty of neglecting myself sometimes. I'm going to try my best to remember to give myself a break and look after myself in 2021.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🌸 Quality time with my husband. Being a business owner, it is SO easy to get sucked into running your business and everything else takes a back seat. In 2021 I want to set more boundaries and spend more time with the hubs. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🌸 Creating more modern, effortless hair and makeup! Although I haven't done nearly as much hair and makeup as I would have liked to in 2020, I do feel as though I have found my style. I'm looking forward to carrying that on in 2021.. so if you're after a modern, elegant and effortless look for your wedding then hit me up! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What are you hoping to embrace more of in 2021?

5 Makeup tips for Mother of the Bride/Groom's 👑⠀ ⠀ I have such a love for getting all my bride's lovely Mums ready on their wedding days 😍.⠀ ⠀ Here's a few tips for any future MOB/MOGs on getting the perfect makeup look - ⠀ ⠀ 🌸 Don't go too heavy on your skin. It's inevitable that as we get older we get the odd fine line and wrinkle, and really heavy makeup will emphasise this. Go for base products that will make your skin glowing and youthful. ⠀ ⠀ 🌸 Don't be afraid to try something new! I meet some women who have been wearing their makeup the same way since their twenties. If that's what you like and feel comfortable with, then go for it! BUT your face and features will have changed since then, so don't be afraid to try something new, you might find that it suits you even more!⠀ ⠀ 🌸 Generally, as we age our skin gets drier. Make sure to invest in your skin, and keep it hydrated. Hydrated skin equals more youthful looking skin! ⠀ ⠀ 🌸 Try some lashes to open up those gorgeous eyes! Our eyes tend to become more hooded over time, and our lashes more sparse. One way to combat this are some natural looking false lashes - these will make your eyes appear more lifted and open! ⠀ 🌸 Be careful with really metallic highlighters and eyeshadows. Products that are really shimmery will draw attention to any fine lines and wrinkles, making us look older. We can still get that sought after glow, but its wise to keep things softer and less OTT metallic. ⠀ ⠀ Share this post with all your beautiful Mummas! ⠀ ⠀ ---------------------------------⠀ ⠀ #dewymakeup⠀ #simplemakeuplooks⠀ #softglammakeuplook⠀ #dewymakeuplook⠀ #weddingmakeupinspo⠀ #weddingmakeuplook⠀ #bridalmakeupinspo⠀ #bridalmakeuplooks⠀ #weddingmakeupartists⠀ #freshskin⠀ #naturalskinglow⠀ #makeupandhairbyme⠀ #makeupandhairartist⠀ #weddingmakeuptrial⠀ #bridalbeautyexpert⠀ #bridalportrait⠀ #naturalweddingmakeup⠀ #bridalmakeupspecialist⠀ #makeupmotherofthebride⠀ #makeupmotherofbride⠀ #ukweddings⠀ #ukmakeupartists⠀ #makeupartistessex⠀ #weddingessex⠀ #essexmakeup ⠀ #weddingdayinspiration⠀ #elegantbride⠀ #luxurybridal⠀ #yourdayyourway⠀ #makemebridalproarti
