Bridal Makeup Morning FAQ’s
As a guide, I spend approximately 30 minutes on my arrival to create a relaxing, comfortable and organised makeup area with professional lighting.
I schedule 1½ hours with my brides on their wedding morning, typically beginning with a 20-30 luxurious skin prep experience at the start of the morning, taking you back in the middle of the morning to create your dream wedding makeup look.
I plan 50-60 minutes per guest in your bridal party, and always aim to have all makeup completed 60-90 minutes before the ceremony time. This ensures you have lots of time to enjoy getting dressed, get some gorgeous bridal portraits and have a toast with your bridal party before heading off to say ‘I do’.
In advance I connect with your bridal hairstylist and photographer on their plan for your wedding morning. From there I curate a timeline to share with you as well as lots of wedding morning tips, ensuring you have a calm, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable start to your wedding day.
I book one wedding per day so you have my exclusivity and a by your side service, elevating and perfecting, right up until you leave for your ceremony.
My bridal make-up kit is curated with luxury high-end and professional, long-wear products including Tom Ford, Westmann Atelier, Haus Labs, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, Hourglass, Armani and many more.
Each product has been carefully selected, tested and chosen for durability, comfort and the ability to photograph beautifully while still maintaining a radiant, soft finish which looks beautiful in person.
I consciously use certified cruelty-free and vegan products where possible. If you have allergies or preferences for products used, I can cater to your needs upon request.
Yes, after 16 years of bridal makeup artistry I can confidently say your wedding makeup will last perfectly all day but yet feel very lightweight on the skin, looking natural and radiant in person.
The only products you will need to touch up throughout the day are your wedding lipstick and/or lip gloss and a compact pressed powder to take down any shine after hours on the dance floor.
We chat through this at your bridal trial.
I also provide a small touch-up kit on the day for added peace of mind.
Yes, over the past 16 years I have worked with brides and bridal parties of all skin tones, from the most porcelain to the deepest of skin, ladies of all ages and ethnicities.

Yes. Complimentary lashes are included for the bride and are also provided for the bridal party if desired.

As the butterflies kick in I guarantee you will feel comfortable and relaxed with me, and I will keep you feeling grounded, relaxed and calm so you can soak up every moment.
I look after many destination brides getting married in Ireland every year whom I meet in person for the first time on their wedding morning.
If your travel plans do not permit an in person trial, we can arrange a virtual video session to cover everything we would in person so you are happy and confident heading toward your wedding day.
Popular wedding months in Dublin (April –September & December) have limited availability so early booking is advised.
