Becky wanted to keep her day as relaxed and low-key as possible and wanted to show off her York roots by having her wedding photos taken around the stunning York landmarks. Becky has beautiful youthful, glowy skin (its because of all of her Temple Spa products that she uses)! It was very easy for me to apply her make-up as she has a perfect complexion – I chose the Airbase Airbrush Foundation for Becky to compliment her skin and also because the weather was boiling that March day and I knew it would last her upto 15 hours in the heat! I applied a MAC cool mink colour to give Becky’s eyes a smokey look and highlighted her beautiful cheek bones with a MAC mineralize blusher in a gold/coral colour. Express eyelashes were applied to give more definition on her eyes and a Laura Mercier waterproof brown liner was applied too. I finished the look with a peachy lipstick to compliment her spring wedding look.

Charlotte was so excited about her summer wedding and was the most organised Bride I’ve ever met! At Charlotte’s trial she explained to me what type of make-up she would like and showed me photographs of the make-up looks she liked. From listening to Charlotte and looking at her eye colour and flawless skin and her wedding dress style and jewellery, i advised of using a lovely MAC rose gold colour to keep her eyes smokey but also lightened to emphasise her beautiful dark brown eyes. I also applied some express lashes on Charlotte to make her eyes look bigger and defined for her photographs. The Airbase Airbrush foundation was applied and it looked stunning on Charlotte’s skin and she advised me later that she didn’t need to top up with any make-up during the day or night (apart from lipstick). I used a MAC lipstick in a purple/pink colour to compliment the eye make-up and also her MAC pinky blusher on her cheeks.

Lorraine said: We just wanted to say thank you all for you hard work, dedication and downright professionalism in making our day so special. Simon and I loved it, were humbled by it and uplifted by the kindness, love and warmth you all extended to us. Without you labouring away in the background our day would not have been half as special and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. The feedback from the guests was sensational and no one person or supplier could be singled out as you were all amazing and the attention to detail is the element everyone is talking about.

Beautiful Bride Lauren, who was married at the York Minster Church followed by a reception at Manor School, York.

Lauren who is from America contacted Paula (Reflections Hairdressers) last year to arrange for ourselves to do her hair & make-up at the Purecust apartments right next door to the Minster, which was a stunning location to use for her family & friends to get ready for her big day! It was a really windy day & luckily Lauren only has to walk just across the road-without losing her veil!!

It was great meeting Lauren & all of her bridesmaids & family – she made a stunning bride.

Lauren said: Julie was absolutely amazing! I don’t normally wear much make-up, but she made me feel comfortable, confident and beautiful. She did a wonderful job with me & my bridesmaids, working smoothly with the hairdressers. Everyone looked and felt great! My maid of honour said she had never felt more beautiful and I felt the same.
