My name is Aimée Hicks and I have been a mobile makeup artist for over 13 years. During this time I have completed over 700 weddings. I have also done special occasion makeup, airbrush makeup, prom makeup, makeup lessons and makeup parties.
My qualifications include an NVQ Level 2 in Cosmetic Makeup and Beauty Consultancy; a Diploma in Airbrush Makeup; a Makeup Artist Masterclass Diploma from the London Academy of Media, Film and TV; a Diploma in Asian Bridal Makeup; a Diploma in Microdermabrasion and I am a MAC Pro member.
I cover the Birmingham and West Midlands area and I specialise in makeup for those special occasions, including bridal makeup in both ‘traditional’ and airbrush makeup. I also organise and run both makeup parties and one to one makeup lessons.
Dear Aimee, I wanted to thank you properly for doing my wedding make up so beautifully, as well as that of my bridesmaids and Mum. We all felt really pampered, relaxed and special. My make up remained perfect through the day and it was so nice not to have to worry about it. I will certainly recommend you when the opportunity arises. Please find attached a couple of photos for you to see how the day went! With thanks and all the best for your future work Mrs Stephanie Sidery (formerly Stephanie Fry)
Considering im not really a make-up girly type i absolutely loved it! A great job done on all my bridal party. Thank you very much Aimee. Would highly recommend. Emma Hagan.
To secure your wedding date I ask for a £20 deposit which comes off the cost of your trial.
I usually book trials in 4-6 weeks before the wedding day. But if a bride would like one sooner that isn’t a problem.
We meet at the place booked for your trial (your home, friends home, my house etc). We talk about what makeup you normally wear, what colours you normally wear, what colour your dress, bridesmaid dresses and flowers are, if you had any idea of how you wanted your makeup on the day, if you have any pictures of makeup you like. This is so I can get an idea of your wedding and you as a person. I then create the look you want or if you aren’t sure how you want it I will do your makeup with our discussions in mind. Once the makeup is done we then discuss how you feel about the makeup and make any adjustments if there’s are any to be made. A trial takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour per person.
I use a range of makeup as I feel different brands have strengths in different areas of makeup. Brands I use are MAC, Clinique, Inglot, Laura Mercier, YSL, Estée Lauder and Dior. I use Dinair for airbrush makeup.
I have done 1-9 people’s makeup on a wedding day before. It all depends on the time of the wedding but I can start as early as you need me too.
I come out to wherever it is you are getting ready. I then recreate the look we agreed on at the trial (if there are any last minute tweaks that isn’t a problem). It takes approximately 30-45 minutes per person on the wedding day. I can do the bridal parties makeup just on the day if they don’t want to have a trial.
Your makeup will last all day. I use primers, waterproof mascara and good quality products to ensure it lasts all day. The only thing you need to top up will be your lipstick. I tell you the name and brand of the lipstick I used so you can buy yourself one. Or if you have a small pot and a lip brush then I can put some lipstick in the pot for you for top ups.
I take bookings a year or more in advance. So as soon as you have decided that you want to go ahead and book I would recommend in doing so.
Preferably hair is done first so that the makeup stays nice and fresh due to the heat and hairspray. We work out timings at the trial so everyone’s hair and makeup can be done in plenty of time. If makeup has to be done first that isn’t a problem.
