Weddings are typically booked 12 months in advance. Please note that I only take one wedding per day, and bookings are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.

To lock in your date, I require both a signed bridal contract and a 50% non-refundable deposit. Without these, your date remains unreserved and may be booked by someone else.

Yes - all non-wedding bookings also require a non-refundable deposit to confirm.

It’s helpful to have a close estimate of how many people will need makeup at the time of booking. You’ll have up to 6 months before your wedding date to finalise the numbers. For bridal parties larger than 5–6 people, a secondary makeup artist will be required to ensure everyone is ready on time.

No, I specialise exclusively in makeup artistry - that’s where my training and expertise lie.

Absolutely. Makeup trials are a vital part of the wedding prep. They give both the bride and me peace of mind that the final look will be exactly what she’s envisioned.

It’s also a great opportunity for us to connect, talk through your wedding plans, and tailor the perfect look together. We’ll explore different styles, colours, lash options, and foundations—ensuring your skin looks flawless and feels comfortable.

Sometimes, a second trial is helpful too! That way, when the big day arrives, we can both relax and enjoy the getting-ready time, knowing everything is just right.

Yes, absolutely! Makeup trials are available and highly recommended ahead of your big day. If you book a wedding package, the trial is included at no extra cost. Not quite ready to commit? No problem—you can also book a trial separately to help you decide.

Makeup trials are typically scheduled 1–2 months before your wedding day. While that might seem close, it’s intentional — your look, hair colour, tan, or overall vision may evolve as the day approaches. Doing the trial nearer the date ensures everything feels fresh and aligned with your final plans.
Trials are held at Edinburgh Sweet Beauty Salon in Newhaven, Edinburgh — a calm, welcoming space where we can perfect your bridal look together.

Makeup trials typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the look you'd like to explore. This gives us plenty of time to refine every detail and ensure you feel confident, radiant, and completely yourself.
Due to limited space at the salon, you're welcome to bring one guest with you to your bridal trial — whether it's for moral support, a second opinion, or just to share the excitement.

Yes, absolutely! Anyone receiving makeup services on the day is welcome to book a trial of their own. This helps ensure everyone feels confident and comfortable with their look ahead of time.

Please note: there’s an additional fee of £55 per person for each trial, which is the same as the standard makeup application rate.

Yes — a makeup trial for the bride is included as part of the bridal package. I believe it’s essential to meet face to face, explore your vision in detail, and bring your ideas to life ahead of time. This extra step ensures we’re fully aligned, so everything runs smoothly on your wedding day — leaving you free to relax, feel radiant, and enjoy every moment.
Please note: trials for bridesmaids or other guests are not included in the package, but can be arranged separately if desired.

Absolutely! I’m happy to travel to your chosen location on your big day. Travel within a 10-mile round trip from EH6 5QB (my salon base in Newhaven, Edinburgh) is included in the bridal package. For distances beyond that, a travel fee of £1 per mile applies.

That depends on your venue’s access policy. Some locations have restrictions on how early you can arrive, which may limit the time available for hair and makeup — especially for larger bridal parties.
If early access isn’t possible, we can explore alternative options like a hotel suite or Airbnb nearby to ensure everything runs smoothly and stress-free. It’s always best to check with your venue well in advance so we can plan accordingly and avoid any last-minute surprises.

Not at all — I use products from my professional makeup kit, carefully selected for their quality, longevity, and compatibility with a wide range of skin types and tones.
That said, if there’s a particular item you absolutely love — like your go-to lipstick, signature lip liner, or a sentimental product — I’m happy to incorporate it into your look where possible.
However, for hygiene and safety reasons, I generally prefer not to use personal makeup products, especially items like mascara, foundation, or cream-based formulas. My kit is fully sanitised and designed to meet professional standards, so you can feel confident and cared for throughout the process.

For the bride, makeup typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the desired look and level of detail. This allows us time to perfect every element and ensure you feel confident, radiant, and relaxed.
For bridesmaids and other guests, makeup usually takes between 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes per person. I’ll create a tailored schedule in advance so everything runs smoothly and no one feels rushed.

Yes — lashes are included for everyone receiving makeup. You’ll have the option of strip lashes or cluster lashes, depending on your preference and the look you’re going for.
The cost remains the same whether or not lashes are applied, as they’re part of the overall service and prep time. That said, most people change their minds once they see how stunning the lashes look on everyone else — they really do elevate the final look!
 

Before your bridal trial, I’ll send over a short questionnaire to help guide our conversation. It gives me a feel for your style, preferences, and any specific ideas you may already have — whether it’s a Pinterest board, a favourite lipstick, or just a vibe you’re going for.
At the trial, we’ll dive deeper into everything: your vision, inspiration, colour palette, skin prep, and overall aesthetic. Together, we’ll craft a look that’s completely tailored to you — one that feels authentic, timeless, and wedding-day ready.

To get the most out of your trial, it’s helpful to bring along any inspiration you’ve gathered — whether that’s photos, mood boards, your wedding colour palette, or even your dress details. These help us align your makeup look with the overall vibe of your day.
If you have any favourite products, feel free to mention them (especially lip colours or skincare you love). And if you’re planning to tan, change your hair colour, or wear specific accessories, it’s great to let me know in advance so we can factor that into your look.
Arrive with a clean, moisturised face, and ideally avoid wearing makeup beforehand — this gives us the best canvas to work from.

Yes! I provide a mini touch-up kit for everyone receiving makeup to help them stay fresh and flawless throughout the day.

For the bride, the kit includes:
• Customised lip colour sample
• Oil blotting sheets
• Loose powder sample 
• Makeup remover wipe

​

For others, the kit includes:
• Customized lip colour sample
• Oil blotting sheets
• Makeup remover wipe

I use a carefully curated mix of professional-grade makeup brands, such as YSL, Huda Beauty, Bobbi Brown, Mac, Two Face, Inglot, that are known for their long-lasting wear, flawless finish, and skin-friendly formulas. I select products that perform beautifully both in person and on camera, and I’m always updating my kit with the best in the industry to suit a wide range of skin types and tones.

Absolutely! I offer makeup services for proms, parties, photoshoots, beauty pageants, graduations, and any occasion where you want to feel your absolute best. Whether it’s a milestone moment or a creative project, I’d love to be part of it and help you shine.

Yes, I can! Just let me know what timing works best for you. I’m happy to arrange early morning or late evening bookings when available. While appointments outside regular hours may include a small additional fee, I’ll always be transparent and discuss those details upfront so there are no surprises.

Yes — inclusivity is at the heart of my work. I’m trained to work across a wide range of skin tones and types, and my kit reflects that. While I’m still building hands-on experience with deeper skin tones, I approach every client with care, respect, and a commitment to making you feel seen and celebrated.
If you have specific concerns or preferences, I’m always happy to chat beforehand to make sure everything feels just right.

Life happens — I totally get it. If you need to cancel or reschedule, I just ask for as much notice as possible so I can adjust my bookings and prep accordingly.

To secure your appointment, a £20 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. This secures your date and covers admin and prep time.
If you need to reschedule, please give at least 48 hours’ notice — deposits can be transferred to a new date if notice is given in time.

​

Reschedules made with less than 48 hours’ notice will result in loss of deposit, as that time has been reserved specifically for you and can’t always be rebooked at short notice.
