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.

Nars Audacious Mascara

A great shade of intense black mascara with a big brush to make the most of the smallest and fairest lashes aka my own!

MAC PREP + PRIME 24-Hour Extend Eye Base
http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk

This is a must for making eye makeup last the duration, if you wear eyeshadow this is the ideal base to apply first.

Lancome Sourcils Définis Ultra Precision Eyebrow Pencil
http://www.lancome.co.uk
I like the Lancome brow pencils as the pencil come with a short firm plastic brush at one end to ensure you do not apply too much colour.  The pencil itself is not too hard so it is easy to apply the right amount of product. Also available in a good variety of shades.

Tom Ford Lipstick in 01 Spanish Pink

This lipstick not only slides on beautifully it also has the most beautiful packaging and is quite simply the best lipstick I have ever used!
