Sydney - how stunning was she?!
For her big day Sydney requested a glamorous, classic, elegant look. I opted for a glowy base, pinky blush, baby pink and cool browns on her eyes and her usual winged liner so she still felt like her 💕
Congratulations to you and Sean!

You all fell in love with her lovely Granny… and here is the beautiful bride Mollie 😍
Mollie’s bridal style was simple and elegant - she wanted to feel polished and refined but still wanted to feel like herself. We went for a simple subtle defined eye, glowy fresh bouncy skin and a rosy lip. If you have certain ways you always do your makeup - that’s always fine by me - I can incorporate this into your makeup look no problem!
I loved everything about Mollies bridal look, dress, venue - it was all so beautiful! But what really made the morning special was how lovely and kind the whole family were ❤️

Makeup is so personal - it’s so tied to how someone sees themselves. That’s why when my client (who had never had her makeup done before) said “what a beautiful experience,” it genuinely touched me - that’s the highest praise I could ask for 🫶
That’s exactly how I want every client to feel in my chair - not just made up, but seen, cared for and confident. 🤍
