Stephanie’s bridal makeup story… When we did her Stephanie’s bridal makeup story…

When we did her trial earlier in the year, Stephanie went full glam, exactly as requested.

A little while later, I got a message…

“I think I want to go more natural.”

Then, on the morning of the wedding:

“Actually… I want to go even more natural. I don’t know what I was thinking with the glam I never wear strong makeup. I just want to feel like me.”

And my goodness, was the girl right.

Soft, fresh, glowing and completely her. 

And swipe to the end for photographic evidence that bridal makeup is apparently a contact sport. 😂 I promise Stephanie left unharmed.

If you’re a bridal makeup artist, you KNOW. “I w If you’re a bridal makeup artist, you KNOW. 

“I want to look natural…”
Also: lashes, a proper eye, glowy skin, bronzer, blush, coverage… but NATURAL.

And the thing is — I completely understand! Some people speak French 🇫🇷 or Spanish 🇪🇸,I speak Bride 👰!

You want to look like you. Just really, really good.

Whatever “natural” means to you, that’s what your trial is for.

“Oh Polly, you did it!” Followed immediately by… “ “Oh Polly, you did it!”
Followed immediately by… “SHE’S BACK.”

This is the level of mirror reaction I’m aiming for!

The confidence. The face. The, HELLO here I am moment.

Makeup didn’t bring her back…but it did make sure she arrived looking fabulous.

You’re probably underestimating how much makeup is You’re probably underestimating how much makeup is on this beautiful face…

And that’s the point.

There’s a lot going on here: foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, blush, highlight, lashes… this is definitely not a “barely anything” makeup look.

But look at that skin.

It still looks fresh. It still has movement. You can still see skin. 

Nothing looks thick or overly done.

For me, that’s where the skill comes in. It’s not about how little makeup you can use. It’s knowing how much, where, and when to stop.

Because I want you glowing and still looking like you when you walk down the aisle… not wondering who the new woman in the mirror is 

Full makeup. Fresh face. There is a difference.

You’ve been asking me about makeup lessons for age You’ve been asking me about makeup lessons for ages… so I’ve finally made it official.

Whether you feel stuck in a makeup rut, your makeup bag hasn’t changed since 2012, you’ve got a teenager who’s suddenly discovered Sephora 😬 (I understand as I have 2 myself), or you simply want to know what actually works for YOUR face, there’s now a lesson for you.

No generic “this is how you do makeup” here. We’ll work with your face, your routine, your products and how you actually want to look.

And yes, we can will go through that makeup bag and decide what stays, what goes and what on earth possessed you to buy it in the first place! (Again I understand as I do the same!)

Perfect as a birthday present, a Christmas gift, or quite frankly… a present to yourself.

Appointments are available at my makeup studio in Windermere, or I can come to you for a lesson in your own home.

Guess what? You ARE allowed to look like you’ve ha Guess what? You ARE allowed to look like you’ve had your makeup done! 

A proper eye. Polished skin. All the drama where it matters.

Because bridal makeup doesn’t have to mean barely-there. It’s entirely up to you and what makes you feel your absolute best.

And I am VERY much here for it.

“All the lovely pinky matchy tones…”

The best reaction is that little look in the mirror where you can just tell…

Sometimes the best makeup decision is knowing when Sometimes the best makeup decision is knowing when you don’t need any more.

She knew exactly what she wanted. Natural, fresh skin and to still look completely like herself.

And with lovely young skin like this, less really IS more.

It’s so tempting when you’re younger to think more foundation, more concealer, more contour = better makeup. But sometimes all those extra layers can actually be ageing and hide the very thing we’re trying to create.

Beautiful skin doesn’t always need covering. Sometimes it just needs a little enhancing.

Fresh, glowy and absolutely gorgeous. ✨

Worth knowing makeup doesn’t have to be heavy to make an impact.
A little Kerry appreciation post Just LOOK at some A little Kerry appreciation post Just LOOK at some of her gorgeous recent work.

Kerry is one of the lovely artists who works alongside me as part of the Makeup by Polly team and these beautiful faces deserved a mention.

She’s an experienced MUA with that gorgeous soft, polished, glowy style that fits perfectly with Makeup by Polly.

Having my fab team alongside me means that even if I’m personally already booked on your wedding date, we may still be able to look after you and your bridal party.

And judging by these faces… you can see why I trust my brides with her. 🤍

She wanted “Dewy, bronzed with a bit of blush.” N She wanted “Dewy, bronzed with a bit of blush.”

Not to show off, but think I nailed it 😉
When a smile is the only makeup needed 😍 Ok so we When a smile is the only makeup needed 😍

Ok so we still used makeup … but kept it super natural so Lauren still felt like Lauren. Well Lauren in a stunning wedding dress about to marry her person. Nothing major 🤔 really… 

(Top tip - at the trial we used tinted moisturiser, but today she felt she wanted a bit more coverage so I mixed @natashadenonabeauty hy glam foundation with @onesize foundation thinner 👌🏼)
