FINDING YOUR DREAM WEDDING LOOK
with celebirty makeup artist Vanessa Elles
Having had the privilege of looking after numerous brides, I appreciate and understand how important and special your wedding day really is. On your big day you absolutely need to trust your chosen make-up artist to completely handle every aspect of your look. That's where I come in!
Whether you're dreaming of looking your most natural self or wishing to travel back in time with a 50's twist, every bride has a different idea of what they envisage. Using professional skills, I will listen to your requirements and work with you to enhance your best features while offering advice on your makeup options, not forgetting to take into account the overall theme of your wedding and the style of your dress to ensure everything works in harmony.
I offer my very best personal service and am here to answer any questions, alleviating any worries you may have. It’s of the upmost importance to me that you enjoy your makeup styling so you feel happy, comfortable, confident and, above all, stunning at the end of the process.
BRIDES
Your makeup preview is an opportunity for you to get to know me and thoroughly discuss potential ideas you have for your desired makeup look. Some brides already have an idea of what they are looking to achieve, some brides don't. I welcome both!
It's a good idea to gather a few inspiration photos you like whether that’s from my gallery, Instagram or Pinterest. Or, if you have a photo of you in a makeup look you loved it's a great starting point. Either way, your makeup preview allows you time to explore what really works for you. I will pass you the mirror to enable you to ask me questions; take this opportunity to really pick my brains.
Your preview takes place at my home, around 1-3 months before your wedding day. The appointment is up to 2 hours, allowing plenty of time to discuss makeup, your venue, your hairstyle too. It's essential I take photos once your makeup appointment is finished to record to of course recreate the look on your big day. Wearing a white top or something that reflects the colour of your dress or fit will help us both see how your look ties together.
