Bridal Makeup

Your Wedding day is the most magical day of your life, and as the Star Attraction of course you want to look your most amazing for it!

Whether it be Natural beauty or a more Dramatic look - you need to trust that your make up artist will create a look that is perfectly suited to you and is also durable to ensure you look as stunning after the speeches and into the night as you do walking down the aisle.

The Secret Sanctuary believes the key to achieving your dream look is to have a comprehensive, no obligation makeup trial where you can discuss exactly what you want and how you want to look.

The trial should ideally take place around 3 weeks before your wedding and is normally about 2 hours although we won't leave until you are totally satisfied with your Wedding Makeup.

The trial can also incorporate Bridesmaid and Mothers of the Bride/Groom and these can be done either at the same time or separately if you want to keep your Makeup as well as your dress a secret!

This should mean that the morning of your wedding is the Perfect start to your Perfect Day, with everything running like clockwork allowing you to be confident that you are a truly beautiful bride.

Trial - £15

Bridal Makeup - £60

Bridesmaids - £25

Mother of the Bride - £25

(Should you want a trial for Bridesmaids or Mother of the Bride - £10 each)

Flower Girls lip gloss and sparkle - No Charge

Please note wedding hair is also available please call us to arrange.

 

Testimonial

"After spending a great deal of time looking for the right Makeup Artist I was taken aback by Jo's professionalism on the phone and her immediate enthusiasm to try my ideas for my wedding in April 2010. Jo was accommodating with her appointment dates and spent quality time with me establishing what look I wanted to achieve. Her input and opinions were invaluable as she knew what worked with both outside and camera lighting. I wanted something a little different and she came up with the most amazing look that made me feel so beautiful and lasted the length of the whole occasion. I wouldn't have achieved my confidence for my wedding day if it hadn't of been for the makeup and Jo's professionalism", Rach
