Frequently asked makeup questions — Blue Vanilla Beauty

Yes! Subtle, pretty make-up is a popular choice for a lot of brides. I can recommend a look which will be enough to help your skin look amazing in photographs but feel barely there.

Yes, I favour MAC and Ardell lashes, using a latex glue which keeps the lashes firmly in place all day.

99% of brides have a trial as it gives peace of mind to know how you will look on your big day. It’s an opportunity to try different make-up looks and more importantly it’s good fun! Allow 1½ to 2 hours so that you can get the most from the make-up rehearsal.

Yes! For extra large weddings if I can’t make everyone up in the time I can bring an assistant.

It’s common for mothers of the bride or groom to be apprehensive. It’s a big day for them too. I will tailor the make-up to suit them. Nothing heavy, the aim is to boost confidence and enhance a beaming smile!

I am based near Weybridge, Surrey and only ask for a contribution to travel expenses if the mileage or travel time is excessive.

Of course. If I can get there by car, train or plane, I’ll be there!

Only high quality products, brushes and lashes. My favourites include MAC, Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Estee Lauder and Illamasqua.
