Client Testimonials

"Wealth of knowledge and expertise! My makeup was applied at 10am and still looked AMAZING at 12am that night! Thanks Gem."

Sam

"On the day of my wedding, Gemma was so calm and stress free despite having to get through six of us and all of my bridesmaids looked perfect. My makeup stayed strong despite wet weather and shedding a few tears, it still looked fresh in the late hours. Gemma’s professionalism, talent and passion are unparalleled and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my makeup. "

FAQS

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS BY CLIENTS WHO ARE CONSIDERING MY MAKEUP SERVICES

WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE IN YOUR KIT?

I regularly test and research the latest products to ensure the highest quality. My makeup kit includes a variety of products, including but are not limited to Estee Lauder, MAC, Hourglass, Dior and Charlotte Tilbury. I select products based on their effectiveness and suitability for various skin types and preferences.

DO YOU SUPPLY LASHES?

Yes, they are inclusive with every makeup application. I offer a range of individual lash styles from natural to glamourous to compliment your desired look.

HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I ALLOW PER PERSON FOR MAKEUP?

I typically allocate 45 minutes to an hour per person for makeup. For brides, I recommend allowing at least 1 hour minimum to ensure everything is perfect.

DO I REQUIRE A BRIDAL TRIAL FOR MY WEDDING?

While a bridal trial is not required, I highly recommend it for several reasons.

It allows us to collaborate, discuss and refine the desired look based on the brides preferences and provides an opportunity to test makeup products to ensure compatibility with the brides skin type and tone. In addition, it helps to establish a realistic timeline for the makeup application on the wedding day, ensuring everything runs smoothly and reduces stress and uncertainty by ensuring the bride knows exactly how she will look on her wedding day. If any adjustments are needed after the trial, they can be made to achieve the perfect look.

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE FOR A BRIDAL PARTY BOOKINGS?

My capacity for bridal party bookings can vary depending on scheduling and makeup time needs. In the past, I’ve accommodated groups of up to 7-8 people. Please contact me with your specific bridal party numbers so we can discuss your needs further.
