10 bridal kit empties: What I’m keeping and what I won’t be replacing.
As a makeup artist, I get through a LOT of products, but an empty doesn’t always mean an automatic repurchase.
Here are 10 products I’ve completely finished in my bridal kit and whether they’ve earned their place back in it.
1. VIEVE Skin Nova – KEEP, KEEP, KEEP
2. Charlotte Tilbury, CBE Contour Wand – WON’T REPLACE
3. VIEVE Brow Pencil in Medium Brown – KEEP (and I’ll be adding more shades to my kit)
4. byfrow Milk Chocolate Lip Liner – KEEP
5. Charlotte Tilbury Glow Tonic – WON’T REPLACE
6. Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Blush in Hope – KEEP
7. d'Alba official Serum Spray – KEEP
8. VIEVE Rosa Blush – KEEP
9. Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray – WON’T REPLACE
10. Urban Decay UK & Ireland Perversion Mascara – KEEP
Some are staples I’ll repurchase again and again, and others I’ve enjoyed but I’m ready to replace with something new. Mainly due to their cruelty free stance.
Part of building a bridal kit is constantly refining it, finding products that perform beautifully, photograph well and genuinely earn the space they take up.
Would you like to see more bridal kit empties?
Little bit of a different post from me… but Simple have kindly gifted me their Purify Gel Cleanser and it is so lovely! 🤍
This is a great one if you have oily skin and are looking to help control excess oil, while still keeping your skin feeling fresh and comfortable.
As a makeup artist, I’m always talking about how important good skin prep is, and controlling excess oil before makeup can make such a difference to how your makeup sits and lasts throughout the day.
Thank you for the lovely gift ✨

✨ 2027 BRIDAL BOOKINGS ✨
A little update on my 2027 diary 🤍
I am booking fewer weddings in 2027 due to other work commitments and a very exciting new project I’m working on 👀
Weekends in May & June are fully booked, and I am currently not booking weddings in July or August.
I do still have limited availability across the rest of the year, so if you’re planning your 2027 wedding and would like to have your makeup done by me, please do to get in touch.
Thank you, as always, for keeping me so busy. I’m very grateful to every bride who chooses me 🤍

A little selection of some of this summer’s beautiful brides 💕
Different faces, different features and different ideas of what makes them feel their best — but the approach is always the same: I want you to still feel like you.
I never want you to feel like you need to become a different version of yourself just because you’re getting married.
Natural, skin-like makeup that enhances rather than covers. Your features still looking like yours. Just enough to make you feel polished, confident and ready for all those photos — without ever feeling like you’re wearing a mask.
Because for me, the best bridal makeup is the kind where you look in the mirror and think…
“Yep. That still feels like me.” 🤍
If that sounds like the kind of bridal makeup you’re looking for, my enquiries are open for a limited number of 2027 dates. Send me a message and let’s chat 🤍

Myself and a bridesmaid 💕
A little Mother of the Bride makeup inspo because, let’s be honest… we don’t see enough of it 🤍
Fresh, natural and polished is always my style when it comes to mums. Nothing heavy or overdone — just beautiful makeup that still feels completely like them.
Mums deserve their moment on the makeup feed too ✨
Thank you to all these lovely women for trusting me with their makeup!
Natural bridal makeup isn’t about changing your face — it’s about knowing when to stop. 🤍
And beautiful Izzy was the perfect example. Soft, fresh, glowing and still completely her.
She also happened to be the biggest Swiftie, so naturally there was plenty of Taylor involved in the wedding morning playlist and there was also a quick chat with Dermot on thanks to her wonderful mum!✨ such a fun morning!
