MAKEUP

Every bride dreams of looking unforgettable on their wedding day. While the dress, accessories and hairstyle are crucial elements, makeup plays a pivotal role in enhancing a bride’s beauty and modern femininity. One timeless and bold makeup choice that can elevate a bridal look is red lips.

TIMELESS ELEGANCE

Red lips have been a symbol of classic beauty and allure for decades. This bold and timeless choice exudes confidence and sophistication. On your wedding day, red lips can be a striking addition that will leave a lasting impression.

CONFIDENCE

Wearing red lipstick can boost your confidence and make you feel powerful. A confident bride is a beautiful bride. When you feel truly self assured, it shines through. Red lips can give you that extra confidence you need to walk down the aisle with grace.

SKIN TONE

One of the most remarkable aspects of red lipstick is that it complements a wide range of skin tones. Whether you have fair, medium, or deep skin, there’s a shade of red that can make you look radiant and captivating. If a red lip is the look for you and your wedding, we can experiment at your makeup trial to find the perfect shade for your complexion. Cooler skin tones tend to look best in blue toned reds such as Ruby Woo by MAC Cosmetics or Palpitante by Chanel. Warmer, more olive skin tones look phenomenal in orange based reds such as Lady Danger by MAC Cosmetics, Tell Laura by Charlotte Tilbury or Wild Ginger by Tom Ford.

STATEMENT OF PERSONALITY

Your wedding day is all about celebrating you and your partner’s unique personalities and love story. Red lips can be a bold statement of your personality, adding a touch of glamour to your bridal look.

CAPTIVATING IN PHOTOGRAPHS

Photographs are a timeless reminder of your special day. Red lips can make your smile pop in pictures, making your bridal photos even more subliminal. It adds a touch of drama that can enhance your overall look, especially in black and white photos.

LONG LASTING WEAR

Red lipsticks combined with red lip pencil have excellent staying power, ensuring that your lips look perfect throughout your entire celebration. I’d recommend a matte texture for a long lasting wear however, glossy red lips can look very chic with the right aesthetic.

NEUTRAL MAKEUP

To make your red lips the focal point of your bridal look, keep the rest of your makeup neutral. Soft matte shadows and a subtle blush can provide the perfect balance.

A TRIAL APPOINTMENT IS ESSENTIAL

Before your big day, it’s crucial to have your makeup trial appointment with me. This allows you to try different shades of red and ensure you’re comfortable with your choice. A trial run is the best way to guarantee your bridal beauty vision is realised. Embrace the power of red lips, and you’ll be a bride to remember for years to come.

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

"I STILL LOOKED LIKE MYSELF BUT
MORE ELEVATED"

"Sam was amazing from the very beginning and put me at ease straight away. Sam went above and beyond on the wedding day - she kept the vibe really fun during the morning and made sure I was completely happy with my make-up.  I really appreciated the fact that Sam waited until after the ceremony for me to do a touch up as it was a particularly hot weekend and there was quite a lot of crying during the ceremony! Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!"

"ATTENTIVE, PROFESSIONAL AND EXCEPTIONALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE"

"I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. From the very beginning she was attentive, professional and exceptionally knowledgeable about which products would be ideal to achieve the look I wanted. My makeup was flawless from day to night! Guests continuously commented on how beautiful I looked! 
Sam was also a very calming influence before I walked down the aisle, as well as helping me into my dress so I could do a 'reveal' to my bridal party. She really is the full package."

"An incredibly talented professional"

"Sam has an eye for colour matching that is truly exceptional - especially when it comes to complexion products. She struck the balance just right on the look I desired - as natural as possible that would still photograph beautifully. My makeup lasted incredibly well - I still looked great when I finally called it a night in the early hours of the next morning! I honestly could not recommend her more highly."
