Wedding Make-Up
...Helping You to Look Flawless & Feel Fabulous on Your Wedding Day
It is such a privilege to be asked to do someone's makeup for one of the biggest days of their lives and my goal is to take some of the pressure off on your wedding day, by providing you with a friendly and professional make-up service. Where I come to you, so you can relax and enjoy the time with your bridal party, and focus on the day ahead. This is one of the most important days of your life, and I would love to help and be part of it.
Having been a bride myself, I can totally relate to what you are going through in your search for the perfect bridal make-up. And as your make-up (and hair) will probably be the most photographed on your wedding day, it is important that your make-up looks flawless and you feel fabulous both in front of the camera’s unforgiving lens, and also in person when facing your guests. With many years of experience in the industry and using only the highest quality professional products, I can help you achieve this with a beautifully elegant & timeless bespoke bridal look that will last all day and evening, leaving you to spend more time with your new husband and guests!
While you may be comfortable doing your own make-up for a night out, with nerves on the morning of your wedding, it is really lovely to be able to hand over the make-up brush to a professional. Letting them do all the work whilst you sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding day!
Offering a personal bespoke service, I work closely with you to create your vision of your dream bridal makeup look. Ensuring that it compliments all elements of your special day. My signature bridal makeup style is to encapsulate your unique personal style, playing to your best facial features whilst at the same time ensuring you still look like you, just at your most beautiful. I feel that makeup should enhance a bride's natural beauty. Every bride I work with has a look created just for them. It is so important that you feel comfortable with your make-up, be it a natural, classic, contemporary, vintage or a more glamorous look. Plus, you want your hubbie-to-be to recognise you as you walk up the aisle, whilst still being wowed!
My editorial bridal work has featured in the Scottish Wedding Directory magazine and blog, as well as some of my lovely brides in their Real Weddings magazine. Sadly, due to Covid-19, the Scottish Wedding Directory closed its doors and is no more. However, luckily some of these features are listed in my Press & Publications page for you to have a wee look through.
Beauty & Make-Up Service
To help my brides achieve that perfect, flawless look for their wedding day (and beyond!), I have partnered up with the fantastic Zest Skin Spa to offer our clients a holistic service of beauty treatments and make-up. Having healthy skin is important in general, plus it acts as a base for the make-up, which is another good reason to look after it, as it really does help provide that flawless look.
Not only are Zest Skin Spa's treatments fabulous, but so are their staff – a great team of people who are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and have a real passion for what they do.
The Trial
A trial is highly recommended, giving us the opportunity to meet and to have an in-depth consultation to help achieve the perfect look. It is recommended approximately 6 - 8 weeks before your wedding day, and for anyone unable to attend in advance of the wedding, it could be held just before the wedding date if necessary.
A bridal trial normally takes approximately 1.5 - 2hrs. Trials are also available to any of your bridal party members who would like their wedding make-up done professionally, so that they too can look flawless and feel fabulous on your wedding day. Their trial should take approximately 1-1.5 hours per person. For further details re the trial, please click here.
The Wedding Day
On the wedding day, I am happy to travel to your chosen venue at the pre-agreed time, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the excitement of the day.
I have a strong understanding of wedding day timings & logistics and working alongside other professionals. And depending on what the bride prefers, I normally work on the rest of the bridal party first, to allow the her to relax with her bridal party. There will be no rushing off once everyone's makeup is complete. As I am always happy to stay with you all until you are ready to leave, for any last minute touch ups to your make-up, to ensure everyone looks flawless and feels fabulous for the big day ahead.
I also offer a full day/evening look service, which includes make-up touch-ups throughout the day and a different make-up look for the evening if so desired.
If you are also looking for a mobile wedding hair service, where they can also come out to your home or venue of your choosing – please contact me for further details.

- Civil partnerships

'Colette is wonderful! I was very worried about my wedding make-up as, 1) I don't wear much make-up normally and 2) I get very oily skin! I needn't have worried though, as Colette listened to what I wanted and carried that out perfectly. My make-up was natural yet stunning and my skin stayed oil and shine free all day! I highly recommend Colette.' Jill Leckie
'Colette is superb at what she does, as well as making you feel comfortable. She did my wedding makeup as well as that of my bridesmaids and mum. We all got lots of compliments!
Colette is full of information and helpful tips, and the way I'll do my makeup since meeting her is all the better for it. She's incredibly patient and friendly - nothing seemed like a hassle..
Between the lot of us there was a range of skin tones and types and Colette made a stellar job with us all. Thank you so much!' Nicole Brannigan
