Amberfied - Makeup Artist

The bit nobody tells you about your wedding morning

I’ll probably be just as excited to see your finished look as you are!

I love being part of those little moments before everything begins. The chats, the excitement, the happy tears and seeing you look in the mirror and smile.

It’s so much more than just applying makeup, and I never take that for granted.

My job really is a special one.

Here’s the gorgeous Francesca🇵🇹 and Joe who got married on one of the hottest days this year at the amazing Wedding Venue 📍West Sussex

Bridal makeup doesn’t have to mean full glam

You can have beautiful bridal makeup without feeling like you’re wearing loads of it.

For me, it’s all about getting that balance right. Lovely skin, makeup that enhances your features, and a look that still feels like YOU.

Because when you look back at your wedding photos, you want to recognise yourself. Just with that extra little something

Is this your kind of bridal makeup?

Let’s talk about skin texture…

Because real skin has pores, lines, texture and little imperfections. And guess what? That’s completely normal!

Makeup can give you a beautiful finish, but I’m never trying to make your skin look like a filter.

I want your skin to look like skin, just with a gorgeous glow

Can we normalise real skin a little more, please?

Your tan could be the reason your bridal makeup doesn’t look the way you imagined.

Beautiful Lydia had a spray tan for both her makeup trial AND wedding day. (It looked amazing both times)

But there was one BIG difference.

Her wedding-day tan was much lighter.

And honestly? It made all the difference.

At her trial, we could see that a deeper tan changed how her makeup colours appeared on her skin and even though she loved her finished look she went for a lighter tan for the wedding day to create the soft, romantic bridal makeup look Lydia had always dreamed of.

Your tan affects everything.
Foundation shade. Blush. Bronzer. Eyeshadow. Even how bright your skin looks in photographs.

My tip: If you’re planning a spray tan for your wedding, have a conversation with your bridal makeup artist and tan artist to make sure your vision will align with the look you want to achieve.

The right shade can make your bridal makeup look softer, fresher and far more seamless.

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately 🤍

I’ve got so many of my lovely ladies to share with you, and I promise I’ll be getting back to it now.

After losing my mum last year, I took a bit of a step back from social media. I was still working away with all my lovely brides, but I just needed some headspace and time to be present with my family and actually soak it all up.

Last year I rushed back into things far too quickly and, looking back, I didn’t really give myself the time I needed.

This summer has been a really special one. I’ve been so lucky to have my sister and husband travel all the way over from Oz for their European adventure, and we got to join them for part of it too. Lots of laughs, plenty of good food, beautiful places and, most importantly, making some really lovely memories together.

So here’s a little snippet of my summer before I get back to sharing all my gorgeous brides with you 🤍

Thanks for sticking around x

If I keep repurchasing something, it’s because it works. These are three bridal lipstick shades I reach for again and again.

I know how overwhelming it can be to choose the right colour for your wedding day. During your trial, once your makeup is complete, we’ll try a few lipstick options together so you can see what really suits you. I’ll photograph each shade and upload them to your Wedquarters, so you can look back on them later or share with family and friends before deciding.

If you’re currently planning your bridal makeup and want a trial that feels relaxed and thought-through, feel free to get in touch, I’m always happy to chat through ideas.

This is makeup designed to feel like you, comfortable, refined, and beautifully wearable from morning to night.

If you’re drawn to this kind of softness, I’d love to hear from you x
