Signature Looks

There are two kinds of brides.

Colour theory matters here — and so does knowing how to balance light and shadow, highlight and contour. A client’s face makes a perfect canvas to release all that creative energy. Of all things creative, eye makeup is the favourite by far.

Makeup shouldn’t cover natural beauty; it should enhance it. Skin should look effortlessly radiant and classic — whether the brief is “no-makeup makeup” or full drama.

Tip: one way to get a more natural base is to mix a little moisturiser into your foundation.
