This look is classic, timeless & enhancing - but how do you actually ask your makeup artist for that??

Here’s your cheat sheet ⬇️

🤍 Still look like me → enhance my natural features rather than dramatically changing them.

🤍 Glowy, not shiny → radiant, perfected skin that still looks like skin.

🤍 Defined, not heavy → soft, blended eyes with subtle lash-line definition.

🤍 Elegant, not trendy → soft, neutral tones that complement my colouring.

🤍 Photographs beautifully, but feels beautiful IRL → enough definition for photos without feeling overdone.

Or just say:

“I want polished, radiant makeup that enhances my features. I want soft definition, neutral colours and nothing too heavy or trendy. I want to look like myself, just elevated.”

And remember… you don’t need to know how to speak ‘makeup’ - that’s your artist’s job🤍

The dream isn’t someone who sits in my chair and says nothing… it’s someone who feels comfortable to say everything 🤍

The best bridal makeup isn’t created by simply copying an inspiration photo. It’s created through trust, honest conversations, tiny tweaks and making sure you still feel like you when you look in the mirror.

If your non-negotiable is winged liner… fine by me!
If you want to request my signature style because you love it… amazing!
If you sit in my chair and don’t know what you want… don’t stress, I’ve got you 🫶🏼

And if you look in the mirror and want to make changes? Please tell me.

I’d much rather spend an extra 5 mins perfecting your makeup than have you leave wishing you’d spoken up.

Because the best bridal makeup is a collaboration - and that’s my favourite part ❤️

Who doesn’t love a little eye-maxxing to make your eyes pop!? 👀

For anyone who’s ever sat in my chair and said “please can you make my eyes stand out” - this one’s for you 🫶🏼

I’m not just showing you what I’m doing, but also the ‘why’ to certain shades, so the next time you’re shopping you’ll know exactly what to look for.

Sometimes it’s the subtlest colour choices that make the biggest difference 🤍

Save this post for the next time you’re makeup shopping ✨

“I’M REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT FALSE LASHES…”

This literally comes up at the majority of bridal previews or wedding mornings.

And honestly, I completely understand why.

So many of us remember thick, heavy strip lashes that felt so uncomfortable and seemed to ping off at the first gust of wind 🫣

But that’s not what modern bridal lashes have to look like.

The lashes I choose are based on your eyes, your features and the makeup look we’re creating together. The aim isn’t for people to notice your lashes - it’s for them to notice YOU.

Because the best bridal makeup should never make you feel like someone else 🤍

✨SAVE this for your bridal inspiration or send it to a bridesmaid who’s convinced false lashes aren’t for her ✨

One of the looks that helped me become a recommended artist by Kristina Gasperas Academy ✨

The focus was on:

🤍 A satin-skin finish - fresh, instead of overly glowy or matte
🤍 Sculpting that enhances your natural face shape rather than changing it
🤍 Softly defined eyes that never overpower
🤍 Harmonious tones throughout (one of the biggest secrets to makeup that feels effortlessly expensive ✨)

Every product placement, shade and technique was chosen with intention to enhance Carlie’s features rather than work against them.

That’s exactly how I approach every modern bridal glam I create 🫶🏼

If your dream bridal makeup is all about enhancing your features rather than hiding them, I’d love to be part of your morning 🤍
