Bridal Make-up
Every bride wants to look as beautiful as she feels on her wedding day. This is the perfect time to have your make-up expertly applied, so not only will you look beautiful in the flesh, you’ll look stunning in photos too!

Barbara understands that every bride is different. One standard bridal look will not do. A beautiful blushing bride comes in many forms. Whether you want a radiant natural “no make-up” look or a full lash glamour look it’s the bride’s prerogative.


Brides-to-be can organise a pre-wedding make-up trial and are welcome to bring along photos or magazine tears which they find inspiring. Using her creativity Barbara will tailor a look that is flattering to each individual and all in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

This includes:

• Trail make-up & consultation
• Make-up on the day
• False eyelashes (individual or strip)
• Camouflage make-up (if necessary)
• Body make-up
