Another Fantastic Year in 2019!

DON’T go overboard with highlighter: Light reflecting particles in highlighter products do exactly that – so care needs to be taken not to overdo it when you are having your professional photographs taken.

DO try strip false lashes: Your wedding day is the perfect day to maximise the beauty of your peepers. Strip false lashes will enhance your eyes, giving them that extra pop and appearance of being bigger, particularly in front of the camera. However, don't wait until the wedding day to trial them, try them out in advance and at the trial, just to make sure you are used to wearing them come the big day.

DON’T sit in silence: You’ve had your make-up trial and you’re not sure about something… Then just tell your make-up artist. A good artist will not be offended and they will be more than happy to make any tweaks to get that perfect bridal look. This is what the trial is all about, and so is the perfect forum for making any changes.

DO have inspiration pictures: This really helps the make-up artist understand your vision and also what you like (and don’t like). Bring along magazine clippings and/or a Pinterest board of all the things that you love.

DO be careful having friends or family do your make-up: You won’t mind telling a professional make-up artist that you don’t like something, and you won’t offend them. I have seen this on many occasion, and it’s so difficult to tell a friend or family member that you don’t like something. However, a professional will know what products perform the best and work in front of the camera.

DON'T forget your eyebrows: Eyebrows are very popular at the moment and it’s not surprising, as they frame your eyes and face, and really help complete the look. So fill in your brows to give them a natural, full shape.

DO opt for waterproof mascara: If there is any day with guaranteed waterworks, it’s your wedding day. From stepping onto the aisle, to the speeches, to your first dance as Mr and Mrs, there are bound to be tears of joy a-flowing. However, your make-up doesn’t have to be!

If you are looking for a beautiful, naturally glowing look that will last all day & evening, and look great both in front of the camera lens and your guests, then it might be an idea to consider booking a professional make-up artist.

Firstly, a very Happy New Year to you!

Well, 2019 has been another fantastic year in business for Colette Casher Make-Up Artistry, with so many standout, special moments!

There have been lots of fabulous weddings, special occasion makeups, make-up lessons, a brand new masterclass (with more to follow in 2020!), oh and won 3 awards!! :)

I've had so much fun working alongside my fantastic clients and collaborating with other creatives and wedding suppliers.

I've had some of my brides in for a makeup lesson or special occasion makeup (and even my masterclass - with the lovely Bryn!) before and even after their wedding day. Which is so lovely, as we get to know one another even better prior to the big day.

I finally opened my new wee studio where my clients can come along to and relax, with some refreshments. Away from the hustle and bustle, and just focus on themselves and getting pampered or learn how to make themselves up. A lot of my brides, makeup lesson clients and also my regular special occasion clients have been taking full advantage of this! :)

Looking ahead, I’m really excited to work with my lovely 2020 brides, makeup lesson, masterclass and special occasion clients – cannot wait to be part of it all with you.

There are also some other exciting things planned for 2020 - so watch this space! It promises to be another fun & fantastic year! :)

Below are images of just some of my standout moments for 2019 - I hope you enjoy them!

Some of my amazing wedding and special occasion clients...

Check out the handiwork of just some of my very talented clients who attended both my group make-up lessons and individual make-up lessons, and were happy to have their picture taken. Thank you for agreeing to that and for the before pics as well :)

I organised the first masterclass in November, which was a total success. Everyone did such a wonderful job recreating the look on themselves, learnt loads of makeup tips & tricks, and we all had such a giggle as well.

At the masterclass, I created a trend based Christmas Party look on our lovely model, Ilaria...

And to top off a fabulous year - winning not one but three awards - still pinching myself!

* Edinburgh Prestige Awards ‘Freelance Make-Up Artist of the Year’ 2020
* Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards ‘Wedding Make-Up Artist of the Year’ 2019
* Global Excellence Awards ‘Best Freelance Make-Up Artist‘ 2019

So humbling to receive such amazing recognition for a job that is my passion and that I absolutely love. It doesn't get much better than this!

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for all your support & business over the past year. I really couldn't do it without all of my fantastic clients, other creatives & suppliers, family and friends!

Happy New Year & decade! And may 2020 be an extraordinary one, bringing you health & happiness!

Warm wishes,

Colettex
