Finding the right hair and makeup artist can make a huge difference to how you feel on your wedding day.

Here are my top three tips for finding the right fit for you.

1. Prioritize real, consistent work, not just Instagram highlights or styled shoots.
It’s easy to be wowed by perfectly curated posts, but dig deeper. Look for full galleries, tagged client photos, or reviews across platforms. A great artist should deliver consistently across different skin tones, hair types, and lighting conditions.

2. Trial sessions are non negotiable
A trial isn’t just a “preview” it’s a test run. Wear the look for a full day, take photos in different lighting, and see how it holds up. Speak up if something feels off. A professional artist will welcome feedback and adjust, not get defensive.

3. Check logistics as carefully as the look
Timings, travel, number of people in your bridal party, and setup requirements matter just as much as skill.
Clarify:
How long they’ll need on the day
Whether they bring an assistant for larger groups
What happens if they’re ill (backup plans are essential)
A stunning look is important but reliability and ensuring you ‘click’ with your artist is ease for a calm energy on the morning of your wedding- you’ll thank me later!

Let’s talk your bridal trial…
There’s something so special about this moment.

Sitting in the chair, seeing your vision come to life, and beginning to feel like a bride. Soft brushes, heartfelt giggles, and all the little details coming together to reflect not just how you want to look… but how you want to feel.

It’s the start of something beautiful, a quiet, magical step towards forever.

Beautiful makeup always starts with great skin

I’m not a skincare expert, but as a bridal makeup artist I see firsthand how much of a difference good skin prep makes on your big day. Hydrated, well-looked-after skin helps your makeup sit better, last longer, and truly glow from within.

In the lead-up to your wedding, it’s worth giving your skin some extra love, gentle routines, consistency, and avoiding last-minute changes are key.
I’ve shared a few simple, helpful tips in this post to guide you.

🤍Brides-to-be, let’s talk skin prep🤍
Your dream wedding glam starts with healthy, hydrated skin, but dehydration can sneak up on you without you even realising.

Here are 5 signs your skin might be crying out for hydration:
🤍Dull, tired-looking complexion
If your skin lacks that natural glow, dehydration could be the reason.
🤍Tightness or discomfort
Does your skin feel tight, especially after cleansing? That’s a key warning sign.
🤍Fine lines appearing more noticeable
Dehydrated skin can exaggerate lines, even if your skin is normally smooth.
🤍Flakiness or rough texture
Makeup not sitting right? Dry patches and uneven texture are often linked to dehydration.
🤍Increased sensitivity
Redness, irritation, or sudden sensitivity can mean your skin barrier needs some TLC.

Pro tip: Start focusing on hydration well before your big day, your makeup will sit beautifully and last longer!

Save this post for your bridal prep checklist & don’t forget glowing skin is the best base for flawless bridal glam 🤍

A little honesty goes a long way 🤍

At the end of last this year, I shared that I was taking a step back for personal reasons. Life asked me to pause, and I listened. I needed to focus solely on myself and my children.

I want to reassure every bride, past and future, that I’m here, I’m well, and I’m back doing what I love with a full heart and fresh energy. I can honestly say, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a very long time.

This season has reminded me why I started this journey in the first place: to be part of such meaningful moments and help women feel their most confident, radiant selves, something we often take for granted, myself included.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your trust. I’m so grateful, and so excited for what’s ahead. 2026 is looking like sunshine to me🤍

With love,
Michelle
