We want you to get the MOST out of your experience with us. This fun little article gives a look into what our services include EVERY TIME.

Our makeup style is distinguished by an artistic approach, ensuring each look is a bespoke experience crafted with expert expression and knowledge. Our goal is to boost your confidence, leaving you feeling empowered and ready to shine. We pay close attention to every detail, ensuring perfection in every aspect of your makeup application, especially by using waterproof liner and mascara! Emotions and Lake District weather conditions can be unpredictable.

With years of experience and training in the makeup world and in Journalism, we bring a wealth of expertise to every makeup booking. We are also able to offer flexibility in our services, allowing for changes in details, number of clients, and preferences to accommodate your needs. Equally, we will always provide you with guidance and support whenever you need it. Being transparent with our clients is a priority, as is our cleanliness and hygiene practices. All equipment, tools and products are sanitised and safe for use everytime. This is incredibly important as makeup application is a close-contact service meaning cross-contamination and bacteria can easily happen. I am proudly certified by iso-clean.

We are an inclusive business celebrating diversity and welcoming clients of all backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, and identities. Everyone deserves to feel safe and valued. We provide a space where you can express yourself freely and authentically, sparking joy with every moment shared. Kindness will always be shown to you, your wedding team, fellow suppliers and especially any page boys or flower girls who need a little more patience on these big occasions.

Makeup is a luxury not a necessity. No-one should ever apologise for ‘not being good with makeup’, you don’t need to be! The luxury experience we offer should help you feel regal on your special day, helping you to create timeless memories to last a lifetime. You’ll be looking back at images of this day for your whole life so a natural finish is always guaranteed - photo ready makeup to capture your day authentically.

We take great pride in our punctuality and reliability, ensuring a smooth experience by always allowing extra time for any situation. Our years of experience have taught us the importance of not just being on time, but going the extra mile to accommodate the variables of a wedding day. Your schedule is our top priority, as we understand that a few extra minutes can make all the difference in creating a calm and stress-free environment.

This professionalism is maintained throughout all our appointments and engagements. We always aim to maintain our top quality client, supplier and venue relationships. Our reliable communication ensures you are always kept informed and involved throughout the makeup process. Rely on us to support you and provide clear information, addressing any concerns or questions, and work together collaboratively.

Being freelance gives us the opportunity to travel to incredible venues across the county and further. We can’t wait to see where you take us next! This unique position helps us to maintain our unique and creative approach. We take huge inspiration from being surrounded by all forms of nature and culture, so travelling from place to place keeps this creative energy flowing.

Speaking of nature and my surroundings, my cruelty-free and vegan approach remain a constant. No product in my makeup kit has been tested on animals. Most are vegan too! Animal cruelty for our own vanity is never ok and will not be supported here.

So, with years of experience specialising in weddings, we're equipped to handle any challenge and ensure your big day goes off without a hitch, (well hopefully just one). We're xenacious, always eager to learn and grow (yes, I did need to google that one!), continually developing our skills and expertise to provide you with the best possible experience. From the moment you book with us to the completion of your makeup look, we prioritise your needs, preferences, and comfort to ensure that you can always find that moment of zen in your wedding planning experience.
