GemMakeup Full Description
I offer the following services: Bridal Makeup, Bridesmaid Makeup, Mothers of Makeup. Trials are available being compulsory for brides but optional for the bridal party. I also offer a mini makeup to up to x4 flower girls for free. This includes a little sparkle on the eyes, light blush and some lip gloss. I pride myself on my professionalism whilst still being friendly and calm on your big day. You will rarely see pictures of me as my sole focus is on my clients and brides that I have the pleasure to glam. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of such a big day and meeting all the lovely bridal parties! I also love to help out in any way I can. This can be helping your bridesmaids into their dresses, making sure your flowers are as the florist instructed, assist with buttoning up your dress and staying with you as long as I can to ensure everything runs smoothly and your makeup is done to perfection! ​ My love for high end makeup products has become an obsession of mine. In my kit you'll find brands such as: Nars, Hourglass, Armani, MAC, Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi brown, By Terry, Laura Mercier, Urban Decay, Becca and many more! ​ I am fully mobile for bookings providing you with being in the comfort of your own home. For larger bridal parties I will hire a second makeup artist or recommend someone. I work alongside makeup artists who I feel provide the same level of skill to ensure your bridal party can feel confident with either artist. I also have a recommendation list for hair stylists for brides who have booked with me but are yet to find a hairstylist. ​ I describe my style of makeup as soft but glam!

Made me feel like a princess!
Gemma did both my makeup trial and my bridal makeup. I’m not a massive makeup person so I was anxious for this to be done but as soon as I met Gemma she made me feel so at ease. I was instantly impressed as soon as I had my trial and did exactly what I asked for and more! My wedding day Gemma made me feel like a princess and so calm and collected. Thank you Gemma for everything

Amazing Gem!
Amazing Gem! ​I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Gem for doing my wedding makeup. She made my bridesmaids, mum and I feel absolutely incredible. Gemma was so helpful and professional and is so easy to get along with. She made all the organising an absolute breeze and made me feel really relaxed on my special day. I’m so grateful for Gemma and cannot recommend her enough.

Gemma made me feel like a complete princess!
Gemma done my makeup (the bride), mother of the bride, 2 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls to say she’s amazing at her job is an understatement, Gemma made me feel like a complete princess & eased my nerves on my big day and I cannot thank her enough, she is extremely professional and stayed with me until I left the room for final touches. Gemma’s Attention to detail is 2nd to none, even putting a little bit of blusher & lip gloss on my flower girls to make them feel involved!

I cannot recommend Gemma enough!
Cannot recommend Gemma enough, she is a dream! From the minute I enquired to the special day, Gemma has been nothing but sheer excellence, Her work is just beautiful and what really drew me into her page. At the trial she was just so friendly, professional and effortless at makeup, really understanding my skin, makeup preferences and type of look i wanted to have for the day. She really took the time to understand all aspects of the wedding to ensure both mine and my bridesmaids makeup.

Gemma was amazing!
After finding Gemma on instagram, I quickly put down a save the date deposit and booked in for a trial. I was so impressed with Gemmas skills and knowledge, I knew she was the perfect MUA for my wedding. At the trial we discussed lots of different looks and styles, with a wide range of options from her previous clients. On the day Gemma was amazing! She was so lovely and calm, loves a chat and did the most perfect glam for my big day. She also did my bridesmaids makeup who all looked beautiful!

Gemma made us look incredible!
Gemma made us all look incredible on the day! Her makeup skills are insane! We was all watching each others makeup be done on the day to try and learn some tips! Everyone was so happy with their makeup, even my mum that never wears a lot of makeup and especially not lashes. All of our makeup looked amazing I have very oily skin and I usually have to powder all the time but I didn’t powder once on the day and it lasted all the way to the end of the night. Gemma is lovely too!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Currently my most memorable wedding has to be my most recent. My last wedding before lockdown was on 14th March and my first wedding back was 20th August. I remember doing my brides makeup thinking, there is nothing more I love than this. It made me feel like I fell back in love with my job all over again and it will be a wedding I never forget knowing it was my first one back after a tough 5 months not being able to work.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Soft but glam, Bridal, Elegant and Modern.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am proud of how much my business has grown since 2017. How it has evolved into the bridal industry. I create everything myself such as my website, invoices, accounts, booking forms etc. I feel this keeps my business personal to me and hope this also comes across to my brides.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

My number one tip is to trial everything! If you are planning something you haven't tried, done or used before you must trial it or re visit until you are 100%. It really helps to keep you calm and reassured that everything you want is and will be perfect on the big day.

What do you love most about your job?

I personally love just how much my job, being a makeup artist, can really change how someone carries themselves on the wedding day. To feel the most confident they have ever felt or the most glam and bridal they have ever felt really is what I love about what I do. I thoroughly enjoy making others feel like the best version of themselves on such a special day.

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

Moisturise, Moisturise.... Moisturise! From dry to oily skin moisturiser is your best friend! The absolute key to perfect makeup. Good makeup starts with good skin. Of course makeup artists can work some magic but it all comes down to how you look after your own skin. It is also great to use this advice prior, during and post wedding to keep your skin in the best condition and of course as we all would love... keep your skin youthful! Hydrated skin is happy skin!

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

I feel my calm personality does bring a calm presence to the wedding day. I do like to get the bride sitting in my chair ready for makeup with minimal people around, so they can have 1-1 time with me and just relax and enjoy having the makeup done. This just removes them from any overwhelming situations to allow them to have a breather but also coming out looking like the glam bride they deserve to be! I also make sure there is plenty of time for all makeups and top ups to be carried out! I am usually the first to arrive and the last to leave to ensure everything runs smoothly. Nothing is too much, I often find myself helping bridesmaids into their dresses, cutting labels, prepping flowers etc.
