More information

What your Occasion Makeup appointment includes

A focused makeup session that’s built for the pace of an event, from greetings and speeches to evening photos.

  • Brief consultation on your outfit colours, jewellery, glasses or contact lenses, and the look you want (soft and elegant, classic glamour, or more defined evening makeup).
  • Skin prep for smoother makeup and better wear, with attention to hydration and texture.
  • Complexion work: long-wear base, concealing where needed, and a natural-looking finish that avoids heaviness.
  • Brows shaped and defined to frame the face.
  • Eye makeup designed for your eye shape, with options for subtle definition or stronger liner and depth.
  • Cheeks and warmth (blush, bronzer, highlight) placed to lift the face and read well in photos.
  • Lip colour chosen to suit the overall look, with advice on keeping it crisp through the event.
  • Setting products applied to reduce shine and improve longevity.

Occasion Makeup for weddings, parties, and photo appointments

This service is ideal when you want your makeup to look consistent from daylight through to evening lighting. It works particularly well for wedding guests, milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, races, work events, and professional photography. If you prefer refined makeup that enhances your features rather than changing them, this appointment is designed around that.

How your makeup is built for wear, comfort, and photographs

Your artist starts by balancing the skin, then builds the complexion in thin, durable layers so it wears evenly. Eye and brow detail is adjusted to your comfort level, your eye shape, and whether you want definition that shows in photos without looking harsh up close. If you’re concerned about fine lines, redness, or uneven tone, products and placement are chosen to smooth and brighten while still looking like skin.

After your appointment: keeping your look fresh until the last photo

You’ll leave with quick guidance on blotting versus adding powder, plus simple touch-up tips for lips and under-eye areas. If you’re changing outfits or moving from day to evening, your artist can advise on a lip swap or a small intensifier you can carry. Let us know your event timings so the finish and setting can be planned around them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I arrive with makeup on or a bare face?
Arrive with a clean face if you can, or minimal makeup that’s easy to remove. A light moisturiser is fine, and we will prep the skin before application.
Can you include false lashes with Occasion Makeup?
Yes, lashes can be added for extra definition, especially for evening events and photos. Tell your artist if you prefer a natural edge or a more noticeable lash, and if you have sensitive eyes.
How long will my Occasion Makeup last?
The application is designed for long wear and is finished with setting products to help it hold. Longevity still depends on heat, skin type, and how often you touch your face, but you’ll be given simple touch-up advice.
I want makeup that suits mature skin. Can you keep it light and flattering?
Yes, the focus can be on smoothing and brightening without heaviness. Product choices and placement are adjusted to reduce emphasis on texture and fine lines while keeping definition where it matters.
Do I need a trial for Occasion Makeup?
A trial is helpful if you have a very specific look in mind, are wearing strong colours, or rarely wear makeup. For most parties and guest events, a clear conversation at the start of the appointment is enough.
