I initially met Sarah’s Mum ( Liz) at Middleton Lodge Christmas event and we happened to chat about wedding make-up. As Sarah lives in London we arranged the trial when she was visiting family in the dark winter month of February.   We discussed at great lengths how Sarah wanted to look on her Wedding Day and took inspiration from some of the beauty icons of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. Come Springtime on their Wedding Day at Middleton Lodge, I arrived at my favourite wedding venue Middleton Lodge and favourite Bridal Suite, the Oak Room, which has three huge Georgian windows with plenty...

This is so easy to do yourself and can add a lift to the skin and add some sunshine glow to the face. The top tips are Don’t use the same colour of kohl pencil.

I wanted to share with you some images taken for a jewellery designer Michail Jarovoj. When I first saw the jewellery I loved how the texture of the jewellery was soft with a plastic feel to touch.  This inspired me to create the make-up to compliment the jewellery but not take over the look. I decided to use pastel colours to create this look and hope you love the look?             Full Credit to: Make-up supplied by Ariane Poole Photographer:  Jade Photography Hair:  James Reid Follow my blog with Bloglovin
