✨ A NATURAL MAKE-UP FOR PROBLEM SKIN

My gorgeous bride suffered from rosacea and thought she’d have to wear a lot of make-up on her wedding day.

🎨 These top tips helped us, together, achieve a beautiful yet natural bridal look.

• Let the skin breathe between skincare & make-up
• Condition + prime the skin without irritating it.
• Green primer
• Build the foundation slowly with button sized drops
• Conceal with patting motions
• Apply blush on the high cheek bones over the apples of the cheeks

PRIME: Corrector - @makeupforever
BASE: Hydra Illusionist - @esteelauderuk
Concealer: Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear @lauramercier
CHEEKS: The Multiple Stick in Puerto Vallarta @narsissist
LIPS: Pillow Talk lippy + liner - @charlottetilbury

✨ LET’S TALK HAIR HIGHLIGHTS…

👰🏽BRIDE ANNA: Dark hair naturally with lowlights subtly added.

💁🏽‍♀️ If you’re a blondie or a brunette, having lighter sections in your hair helps ‘highlight’ 😉 the curl + texture. Making your chosen style stand out in your pictures and videos!

So if you’re debating adding some warmth to your hair, first have your hair trial and decide together if this will elevate your chosen style.

📌Final note…. Remember most Pinterest hair inspo is on lighter, highlighter hair for this VERY reason. So whatever you pin try to save pictures with a similar hair colour as you. To see what it could really look like.

✨WHEN THE TRIALS TOO GOOD NOT TO SHARE

I’ve banged on about skincare a lot recently and THIS is why. NO FILTER.
What we put on it (+those pesky genetics) is the only way to truly glow under your make-up.

💦🧴The healthier the skin the less make-up you actually need. Want the natural look?
Target your main concerns and begin adjusting your skincare routine 6+ months before the big day.

🗓️ When you book me I’m here to support you through this with skincare tips plus offer up other top notch beauty experts.

🙌🏻 After this, I will then create a natural yet elegant wedding look for you that has him gawping at the top of the aisle but NOT because he doesn’t recognise you under tons of make-up.

📌 Save for later when you ask for a natural bridal make-up look.

#naturalbride #bridalmakeup #bridalmakeuplook #glowymakeup #skincaretipsandtricks #skincareroutinetips #naturalmakeuplook #bridalglow #dewyskin #dewyskinmakeup #oxfordwedding

✨STEAL MY LIPPY STRATEGY

To make your lipstick last use your lip liner over the whole lip! Line first, then fill the rest with the colour. Once the lipstick is applied on top it sticks to the liner and stays longer.

Simple yet effective.

📌 Save for quick make-up hacks

✨AN ARTIST + A HELPING HAND

Use your trial to not only curate your bespoke hair & make-up look but to get to know your artist. She’s there on one of the most important days of your life, so why not bond over life, wedding plans and a little laughter!

👑 H&M artists wear many crowns from dress pinning, bouquet dryers to tear wipers and if you’ve got me… comedic relief when nerves get too much! Trust in us, we’re here for it all. 🤍

✨ HOW TO TAKE CURLS TO WAVES

Use an Afro comb! The wide teeth softly brush out your curls without too much pressure from the tool. Used by stylists, can be used by anyone.

Tricks of the trade 😉

✨AN EVERGREEN FOLIAGE + WHITE PETAL WEDDING = TIMELESS

A massive wedding style trend for the last 2-3 years and we can all see why.

Incorporating this into your hair design can not only save some mollar on the wedding budget💰but add an utterly effortless vibe to your wedding style.

🌿 Gipp + eucalyptus used - TOP TIP: delicate or heavy flowers need to be wired by your florist for longevity.

✨ Bride Gigi: WHAT A ROCKSTAR ✌🏻

A wonderful woodland wedding. Oh and a music video!

I styled Gigi to fit this brief, with soft tumbling boho curls and pink make-up hues.

✨ TOP TIP: Always share your wedding aesthetic with your hair & make-up artist so they can create a look that is bespoke to you and your wedding day. (Mic + denim jacket included 😉)

💛 SUMMER FAREWELLS

First post in a long time. Life has been wobbly and manic at the same time. A break was needed lovers. But as I…..

Do the wardrobe swap
Make Xmas plans
Have a great need for tomato soup
Begin to see coppery, gold wedding trends trickling in ….

I must mark that although it was an unusual summer for us all, lessons were learnt and… I brought this great dress from @lawandcostores 🤩

💛 TREASURE THE WEDDING MORNING
.

Happy 1 Year anniversary to my fav friendling pair @christymr101 and @leeroy.jenkins . Being a part of your big day made me almost burst! From the hair & make-up, dress shopping, hen-do’s and surprise videos it one hell of a ride! I love you both.
.
.
The wedding morning can get overlooked (think it’s the lack of a groom😉) but that time with your besties to hang out and have a girly gettin’ ready session is so special. I know I treasured it here.
.
.
We will be back, bridesmaids in tow...and brideys, with that kinda wait, you’ll saviour it even more. I can’t wait...

💛 GIVING 2020 THE COLD SHOULDER...
.
The last day of 2020 is upon us,
It required absolutely no fun or fuss,
.
It gave us cause to frown,
Yet make us slow down
So we don’t drown,
.
From 30+ to 5 I missed my brides,
But here comes 2021 with new tides,
.
Let’s put in value what we learnt,
Rather than what burnt,
.
2021 will be a gradual climb,
Weddings will be back and boy so will our hair & make-up design!
.
.
Big squishy love to you all and Happy New Year!❤️✨

💛 REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE!
.
.
I’ve been a little quiet on here recently, in a world without weddings or faces to sprinkle my brush across it’s been hard to know how to just BE on social media. After all, for a business like mine, I am the product and the face!
.
.
Another tier, more restrictions for so many of us. So it’s important, now more than ever to just remember WHO WE ARE without all this crap. Because one day we’ll get it all back and be so grateful we ever had it in the first place.

Here’s a snapshot of my happy place.
.
✨ What is yours? I’d love to know...

Sophie casey - MUA.

I'm a professional Make-up Artist & Hair Stylist based in Oxfordshire. Over 12 years ago, I trained at the prestigious Delamar Academy in Ealing, and followed this with a Bridal Hair Course with Pam Wrigley. Since then I've enjoyed making hundreds of brides feel like a million dollars on their big day and built a career across Fashion, TV, Celebrity and Film.

My work includes Glamour magazine, Karen Millen, Made in
Chelsea and Downton Abbey. I bring the knowledge and
experience of this work to your wedding day, offering classic
or on-trend bridal looks.

I pair my flair for beautiful make-up & hair with an eye for

detail. Your wedding photos will last forever so let me make

you feel beautiful inside and out.
