Amongst that whirlwind was the wonderful Alethea soon to be Mrs Goddard. On their revised date of August 30th Alethea, also known as Leaf, was ready and waiting in my chair that morning. Joined by the fantastic Tina Elliott for hair, we soon filled the early hours of the day with laughter between the three of us as we worked away on Leaf’s wedding day look. Paired with a nip of brandy, all the giggling and support helped Leaf sail through the nerves that were starting to kick in. With so much anticipation all this time waiting through a pandemic, the big day can really feel even more overwhelming than usual!

As someone who doesn’t wear make-up often, Leaf and I had spoken specifically about a look that would still feel authentic to her. We took an ethereal twist on my perfected skin base with lots of luminosity from high quality SUQQU Skincare products as our foundation. Stepping it up a bit into English Rose territory with some generous blusher using the SUQQU Shimmer Liquid Blush this rosy look was beautifully matched to her infectious smile. Using the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick was an obvious choice for that lovely nude blush pink shade that delicately complimented the look in an understated way that suited Leaf’s style.
