A bridal make over with Josie

Last week on a sunny day I met up with the fabulous Josie from Savoir Weddings. She just featured the first part of our bridal make up session and interview on my work with brides on her blog here. There is more to come... ; ) The stunning pictures of us were taken by the talented Gaelle of Oh La La weddings. Summer is almost here and I am really looking forward to all the wonderful brides I will work with this season.

It seems like there is a huge 70's come back this season, as you might have noticed. The seventies represent HAIR for me. Hair was a lifestyle and women as well as men just let it grow. My dad in fact still has his waist long seventies hair and my mum never allowed me to cut it at all. Ah well, with the result that I cut it off as soon as moved out. By now I am wiser and I will let it grow again (who knows for how long?) At least to the length, that I can pull off all this cool plaits and stunning up-do's. (By the way: I am doing bridal hair as well!)

The answer is: YES! I am doing bridal make up as well. Since many of you asked about my other creative career part: make up artistry, lately I decided to tell you a little bit more about that. Since I have not only done a lot of my friends and families weddings as a make up artist, now that I am officially and fully trained I do offer an extraordinary and bespoke service to all brides. I love to work with "real" beautiful women as much as I love working with models in fashion shoots. It is a different way of working in many ways from look to product and lasting ability but I am just as passionate about enhancing the individual brides unique features and giving her an all day lasting, glowing look based on her skin type, style and personal preferences. photo via daily makeover by © Kevin Mazur/WireImage How it works: During a first trial and consultation meeting we'll decide on the look and I will suggest products. We will be creating the full look, as you wish to wear on your wedding day. l am able to give professional skin care tips, so you can prepare and treat your skin the right way before your big day. On the actual wedding day, I will be pampering you and will create your all day worry free make up. If you wish I will design a customized colour palette for you, so you that you can carry the professional make up with you as well. No matter if you want to go for a glam vintage bride style or a very natural make up I will be up for it.
