_So you've set the date, booked the venue and chosen your dream dress, but have you thought about your bridal makeup? Essex and London Bridal Makeup believes that choosing the look of your wedding day makeup is as important as choosing your dream dress. After all, your look will be captured in photos forever!

I am a fully qualified, professional makeup artist based in Essex who specialises in airbrush makeup for brides, the bridal party and special occasions. Covering the majority of the Essex, Kent, Surrey and London, I will travel to the bride's home or venue to ensure that the bride is relaxed and stress free.

I use premium branded products such as MAC, Bobby Brown and Airbase. Airbase is an airbrushing makeup which ensures a flawless finish, that is long lasting (up to 18 hours) meaning no ‘touch-ups’ are required. Airbrushing allows the skin to breathe with a weightless application. Airbase is a silicone based product which all high end quality makeup brands are. Airbrushing gives a smooth and natural finish, Airbase airbrush makeup is now the choice of makeup artists.

I use these products and techniques to achieve an individual dream look for every bride ensuring that the bride feels confident, relaxed and above all radiantly beautiful on her wedding day.

Wedding Hair
I have been working in conjunction with three extremely talented bridal hair stylists for many years. We aim to make you feel at ease on the morning of your wedding so having two experts, one in bridal hair and one in bridal makeup works better, especially if you have a large wedding party. It also saves one person flitting from one job to another. Please ask for details!

Also available at Essex and London Bridal Makeup is Mother of the Bride makeup, Mother of the Groom makeup, Flower Girls makeup, Bridesmaids makeup, makeup lessons or make up for any special occasion you would like to feel extra special.

I used Essex and London Bridal to provide my makeup for my wedding on June 24th 2011.  Victoria gave me a trial six weeks before the wedding and the colours she chose to use were perfect for my theme.  She understood what I wanted to emphasise and what I wanted to hide!  And, translated this into a look that I loved.  On the day Victoria was very professional and replicated the trial look.  She also managed to keep me calm and was happy to offer the bridesmaids advice on their own faces.  The makeup she provided remained intact for the day and I am very happy to recommend her skills to anyone.

Vicky came along to our house to attend to my daughters makeup and ended up doing mine as well, as mother of the bride, she did a fantastic job on us both. My daughters makeup was subtle allowing her to look wonderfully natural but giving clear definition to her features, especially her eyes. Her makeup held out all day and even throughout the evening where she partied well. She looks lovely in all the photographs so we could not have been more delighted.  Vicky arrived in plenty of time and blended well into the proceedings. Vicky also did my makeup as I was having a small panic, she quietly calmed me down and together we decided what would be good colours for me to wear. She made an excellent job of my face  which is never easy, as I have Vitaligo, giving my skin strange white patches. She made a superb job of my eyes, keeping them very low key but well defined, I was really quite amazed at how good I looked! I have no qualms about recommending Vicky as a makeup artist.
