I have to ensure my brides look absolutely perfect on such a special occasion. Extra special attention is given to brides for their big day and requires more time and consideration compared to regular makeup services.

Makeup: Wash your face utilizing your regular skincare routine. Hair: Wash your hair the night before. Do not apply any products. If you have thick/coarse/curly hair, please blow dry it straight before your appointment.

If you are intersted in bridal services, appointments/bookings are accepted up to 2 years in advance. For all other services (hair & makeup, hair only, makeup only), appointments/bookings are accepted only 1 month in advance.

I strongly recommend purchasing a lip product and blotting powder or film (for extremely oily skin) to retouch.
