Each morning I get to spend with my brides creating the wedding makeup of their dreams is such an honour, but an even bigger delight is getting to stay with them all day for on hands beauty support. You might not have heard of this Red Carpet Luxury Service before, but it’s such a great option for those extra touch up moments, or even for switching from day to night with a more glamourous evening look. That’s exactly how I spent my time with bride Marli at Maften Hall. A former model and absolutely gorgeous soul, Marli understood the merit of having the extra on hand support from her bridal team so that she could truly relax into her day marrying her best friend Adam.

It was a sweltering Northumberland day, so keeping her feeling cool and light in the heat was a huge priority that really highlighted the value of investing in an all day MUA service. And something neither of us expected was the time we’d take gently sweeping away all of the tiny confetti post ceremony, as combined with the heat it really took root all over her hair, face and body. It was great to just grab a few brushes out of my kit and thoughtfully sweep away every colourful little piece so Marli could get back to enjoying her wedding.

It might have been a small and intimate wedding set up, but it’s these moments like this that make your day feel truly luxury. You’ve planned, saved and hoped for this special moment, you deserve for it to feel easy going and have everything handled for you. Instead of spending time fretting or prepping, Marli and Adam got to lean in to their bubbly excited energy and just focus on the pure love that they so clearly have for each other.

Taking Marli from day to night was where the fun really began. Her day look was classically glowy perfected skin, but for the evening we were sure to amp up the sass for the festivities ahead. The SUQQU Signature Colour Eyes was the perfect palette to create a more dramatic eye, blending the harmonious shades for a sparkling inner corner, a smoky, sultry outer edge and lower lash line. We also updated her lip colour from the demure Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk which is a dreamy bridal daytime nude pink, to their Glowing Jen shade for a bolder satin finish.
