What is your take on bridal makeup?
It’s great to see brides opt for natural looks instead of excessive, over-the-top makeup looks. Women are more confident and want to look their natural best. Less is more.
What is one beauty trick you swear by?
I always do the eye makeup first. It’s easier to clean up the mess from eyeshadow and glitter fallout.
What are the top current beauty trends?
Minimalist makeup, healthy glowing skin, lip, cheek and eye tints.
What are the three makeup items one should not leave home without?
Mascara
Tinted lip-balm
Tinted moisturiser
How can a bride get beautiful skin?
Hydrate, moisturise, get at least 7 hours of sleep daily and keep stress to a minimum. It’s amazing how good your skin can look from just following a basic and easy self-care routine.
How has makeup evolved in the last few years?
There are far more (too many!) products available for each and every skin type; the possibilities are endless. It’s great because you have more options, but people can also get confused about what to use.
What is the most important thing for brides to remember for their wedding day makeup?
Moisturise your skin at least twice a day in the week leading up to the wedding and don’t stress yourself out. There’s nothing more beautiful than healthy glowing skin.
How would you describe your signature look and what is it about your style that sets you apart from other makeup artists?
My skin work is beautiful; a natural look with a dewy finish and everything blended to perfection.
Do you have any favorite makeup products? We’d love to hear!
I’m a huge fan of Becca Cosmetics. The brand’s pressed and liquid highlighters are a must-have for all makeup artists out there.
