A Cortijo Del Marqués Wedding

Back at the beginning of June I did wedding Hair and Makeup for Laura and her mum and Aunt in Granada, Spain at the idyllic Cortijo Del Marqués. The weather was perfect, not too hot and it really was an absolute pleasure to work at such a beautiful venue.

Below are some of my iPhone shots of the Bridal prep' and the stunning location.

My Desert Island Beauty must haves!

My Desert Island products...

My trusty tube of St Tropez Gradual Tan in shade Medium/Dark.  I have used this product ever since it launched and also recommend it to my clients. If you have pale skin the Light/Medium shade will be a better option for you.  l just love the colour it gives my skin and people often comment asking if I have been away! It never streaks and is easy to apply.  I always have at least two or three tubes in my bathroom cabinet, it is also the first thing I pack when I am travelling, without it my skin just looses that natural golden glow.



Lucas Papaw Ointment is a staple when I travel it comes in so handy for cuts, grazes, burns, bites, dry skin, makes a great lip balm, achieves a glossy eye or dewy cheekbone. Moisturises eyelashes and hydrates cuticles and also great for taming flyaway hairs. A MUST!


Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a palette shade 'Beauty Glow' is my summer makeup favourite. These are perfect colours for me to create a bronzed look.  Also it is so convenient that eye colours, bronzer, blusher and highlighter are all in one compact, genius!



Mascara is an absolute must have.  I am currently using DIORSHOW but I do try different ones all the time!



Got to have my trademark bright coral nails, it just wouldn't be summer without them!
I love OPI shade Living on the Bula-vard.

June Update!

I love the month of June ...the official start of Summer.  Oh how I love long summer days and balmy evenings....bliss!  This month I was lucky enough to work in Spain and had a lovely holiday whilst there too.
I stayed near to Marbella and then further along the coast inland by Lake Viñuela.

I did wedding hair and makeup for beautiful Laura and her bridal party at http://www.cortijodelmarques.com/en/ in Granada.  A beautiful venue in a stunning location.



Gorgeous Laura went for golden natural tones of makeup and bouncy natural curls in her hair.
