Wedding Trial

I had my wedding trial done and felt so relaxed throughout the whole experience. I prefer a fuller coverage base to help cover redness, and a soft but bold eye for my special day, Barbara really listened to exactly what I wanted. She took the time to understand the look I was aiming for and even recommended bringing photos for inspiration to help achieve the outcome I wanted. I would definitely recommend her.

Hi,

It's Barbara here, your make up artist and hairstylist here to make you look and feel amazing on your wedding day.

As a former executive assistant, going above and beyond for you comes naturally to me from the moment you enquire. I have been doing hair and make up now for 5 years and can't imagine doing anything else. I truly love the special brides i meet all year around.

I absolutely love baking and if i'm not working a wedding, you'll find me baking my speciality: chocolate brownies. I also love to bake a rich chocolate cake and lemon drizzle. The smell of baking and being in the kitchen is like therapy for me.

I also love to travel with the next places on my bucket list being Japan and Bali. I love nothing more than reading a good book on a beautiful peaceful beach.

I can't wait to meet you and make you look and feel amazing on your wedding day!

Love Barbara X
