Recent Bride Rebecca!

On October 17th 2015 I had the absolute pleasure of doing hair and makeup for beautiful bride Rebecca, her lovely mum and four bridesmaids!

The wedding and bridal preparations took place in a beautiful rural location at Bassmead Manor Barns.  http://www.bassmeadmanorbarns-weddings.co.uk

I arrived bright and early at 7.30am to start prepping everyone's hair, it was a very busy morning for me as I had to have everyone ready by around 1pm.
Super team Andre and Suzanne form Belle Momenti photography were on hand to capture all the bridal preparations.  http://www.onlinepictureproof.com/bmp
I loved doing the bridesmaids hair in a variation of relaxed updo's, achieved by tonging the hair first then adding in braids and pinning hair up in sections.

Rebecca wanted a natural wedding day look.  To achieve this I used a little Benefit primer to make sure the makeup lasted.  I used a Kiko light coverage foundation and a little Bobbi Brown concealer. On the eyes I used a combination of MAC eyeshadows in shades Phloof, Scene and Pink Venus.  The lipstick is Angel by MAC over Ballet pink lip liner from Bobbi Brown. Charlotte Tilbury Bronze and glow completed the look. Rebecca's hair was set in velcro rollers and tonged for a relaxed part up part down style.  I did a little backcombing to achieve some height on top before adding the veil.

October Update!

October didn't start too well I was in a car accident which was quite scary and my beloved MX5 was written off, happily I now have a replacement one : )

We have had some lovely sunny and mild autumn days which has been lovely to top up my Vitamin D and enjoy walks with my doggies.  As you can see Lucas has been on top form for his cute poodle poses this month too!

As the recommended Make-up artist at Luton Hoo hotel I attended the wedding showcase evening and I am looking forward to working at lots of weddings there over the coming months.

I had my first wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns beautifying Rebecca, her mum and maids.  It was a great morning and a fabulous venue to work in. http://www.bassmeadmanorbarns-weddings.co.uk

I am off on holiday's soon to recharge after a very busy year!
