Made me feel like a princess
Kay did my make up for myself, my bridesmaids and mother in law back in the summer at Bordesley Park. I cannot thank Kay enough for her expertise, flexibility to cater for everyone and her calmness! I really appreciated being able to meet her before the day to discuss my plans and to have a full trial. She was professional, friendly and made me feel like a princess for the day. Thank you Kay x

Can not recommend her enough!
Kay put my nerves at rest from the instant we had our pre consultation. She made me feel amazing on my wedding day and even my trial and was just an extension of the bridal party on the day. Can not recommend her enough!

100% recommend her
I am so glad I booked Kay to do my wedding makeup for myself and my 3 bridesmaids. I loved that she understood exactly what I wanted from the offset and wasn’t about pushing styles on me that I didn’t want. Her calming personality and way she worked made my experience amazing. The makeup lasted all day and made me feel so confident within myself. I would 100% recommend her, and honestly cant thank her enough for the work she did.

Amazing lady
Amazing lady to help make an amazing day! Kay was so fantastic from the very first meeting to the day itself! The first meeting was so relaxing and she made me feel at ease and I knew that she was going to be perfect. Not only did she take so much time getting my look correct - with so many different aspects of the makeup and trying different colours - but she took time to get to know me and what I envisioned for the special day! We also had a member of the wedding party who has very sensitive skin and Kay took so much care making sure that there was no way that her makeup would cause any flair ups. With the bridal party ranging from ladies who wore makeup everyday to ladies who have never worn makeup in their lives, Kay made sure that we all looked absolutely stunning and we're all comfortable with our looks. To top it all off we had a super early start to the day and Kay was with us the whole time getting ready throughout the morning! Kay was fantastic and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist who is friendly, chatty, amazing at her job, a perfectionist and who makes certain your morning runs super smoothly. Thank you so much for everything Kay!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Natural, Elegant, Classic, Relaxed, Fun
What about your business are you most proud of?
Being 100% cruelty free. I strive to also use products that are ethical & paraben free, vegetarian & vegan where possible.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Have fun with it! It shouldn't be stressful, after all it's an exciting part of your journey as a couple so, make sure you plan your day how you wish. It's your vision and it must reflect who you are as a couple and not be the ideas of someone else. You don't want to have any regrets. Also, use Bridebook!! It's such a great tool to help you plan your wedding down to the very last detail.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I always love to see the couple reflected in their planning. Be it the flowers, centerpieces or cake it's always a great touch.
I think my favourite touch so far would have to be a Labrador. The brides' father unfortunately passed away before her wedding day and the couple had taken on his beloved dog. He was the one who gave her away on the day and walked so proudly down the isle with her in his best collar. Not a dry eye in the house when her brother brought him in to see her before she left for the ceremony, I can tell you.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to give as much information as I possibly can within that very first email/call. I will send over my price list along with my terms and conditions and then forward a quote. I always offer a free pre- consultation meeting after the quote so we can chat through any thoughts and ideas and I can answer all the questions you may have before securing your date. Once we have met or talked on the phone/zoom call the booking fee is paid and a booking form issued and signed. A trail session will then follow, I recommend a trial is booked a minimum of 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding day.
What do you love most about your job?
I love sharing a part of a couples day. Being a part of their memories for years to come is just an honour. I love the festivities of bridal preparation and just love being around people. I will never tire of helping someone to look and feel their very best and play such an important role on someones wedding day. My job is not work, it's passion.
What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?
SKINCARE! It's the basis for a great makeup. If you have a good skincare regime your makeup will apply easier & look flawless meaning you will need less to look the very best version of 'you' possible on the day of the wedding.
How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?
Be at her beckon call! I make sure that she gets to relax for the whole time she's sat in my chair and even when she steps out of it. I keep a very close eye on my brides and ensure they are fed and watered, kept calm and relaxed at all times. I usually recommend that she gives her phone to a trusted person for her time with me & get her mum or maid of honour to deal with questions/deliveries until we are finished, so she gets to switch off. I also use fantastic aromatherapy based skincare products that help to calm & sooth the mind.
What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. For each alcoholic drink have a glass of water with it. Have blotting paper and tissues handy (usually left with a trusted bridesmaid) & her top up lippy. Everything else will stay put until the evening ends. If tears are shed, use a blotting tissue & dab the eye area lightly don't rub.
