Bridal make up by claire shipman

Bridal make up

Beautiful bridal make up is available for your whole wedding party.  A hair stylist is also available, please enquire about prices. Your make up will be applied using the best professional products and all the tricks of the trade, ensuring a bridal make up that looks flawless on your photographs and that lasts all day. Your make up is best applied after your hair has been styled. On your wedding day I will provide you with enough lipstick for touch-ups into the evening.

Bridal trials

Your wedding trial will be carried out in your own home.  I usually advise a trial between 4-6 weeks before your wedding day. Trials are of course available sooner. If you have left finding a make up artist until the last minute or have been let down, don’t panic, please contact me I may be available and I’ll try to help you.

On the day of the trial I will spend time with you discussing your ideas and viewing your colour schemes you’re welcome to collect ideas from magazines or I can advise on what suits your face shape, skin tone, hair and eye colour.

On the day of your trial I will make notes of products and techniques used as well as taking before and after photographs, this will enable me to reproduce the exact same look on your wedding day.

Terms & conditions for wedding bookings

Trials must be booked for your wedding make up.

Trials are unavailable on Saturdays or Sundays, but are available weekdays and evenings.  

To secure your wedding day date, a non refundable deposit of 50% for each person requiring wedding day makeup is to be paid in advance; payments can be made via cheque, cash or PayPal. If any of your wedding day party need to cancel their makeup booking before the wedding day their 50% deposit will be lost.

If a member of your bridal party’s trial is required at a separate location or time to the Bride's trial the trial will be charged an extra £25 plus a travelling fee if applicable.

My travel time of up to 30 minutes is included in my bridal make up, after this time my charges are 40p per mile.

Any tolls or parking charges either in hotels, car parks or parking meters will be added to your final invoice.

Make up Lessons

If you’re getting married abroad and would like to know how to do your own make up on your big day or even if you’re bored with your usual make up routine a makeup lesson is a perfect option for you.

I can teach you all you need to know to create your own beautiful make up look. I can also help go through your existing makeup and advice on products and techniques.
