Make-up by Gem

Bridal / Wedding Make-up in Kent

As a fully trained Make-up Artist in Kent, I can travel to your home or wedding venue to apply the wedding make-up look of your choice. My service begins with a thorough initial consultation and trial at your home, four to six weeks before the big day, where we work together to find a beautiful wedding day look which is right for you and that you’re 100% happy with.

When applying make-up for the bride and bridal party, I take into consideration individual’s needs and the style and theme of the wedding, enhancing certain features to achieve a look that is as beautiful in real life as it is on camera. I realise just how important it is to look your very best on your big day and I specialise in creating a natural, radiant, weightless and comfortable look that lasts all day.

I use a range of the industry’s top cosmetics from MAC, YSL, Clarins, Estée Lauder, Lancôme, Make Up For Ever, Dior, Clinique, Vie, MUD, and Benefit. To achieve a flawless look in both film and photography, I use High Definition (HD) foundations and select the best products from each brand for their effectiveness, application and longevity.

From lips to lashes, your make-up application will be personalised to provide a look that is as unique as you are! Please contact me for full details about the bridal make-up service I can provide including wedding make-up lessons, hen party make-overs and more.
