04 — The artist

Duchess

Nine years, four hundred brides, and one rule that never moves: the makeup answers to the face, never the other way round. Trained in editorial and raised on wedding-day timelines, I read skin before I open a palette.

The studio now runs with three additional artists, all trained in-house, so a party of ten leaves on schedule and looking like the same story — not the same face.

05 — Word of mouth

What they say after

“I cried twice and it did not move once. My photographer asked who did my skin.”

Amara O. — Bride, June

“Eleven of us, one bathroom, and she still ran ten minutes early. Unreal calm.”

Renée T. — Maid of honour

“We book her for every campaign now. She lights the face before the lighting does.”

Kofi A. — Photographer

06 — Learn it

The masterclass

Two days, six students, one kit each. Skin theory, undertone matching across depths, and the bridal timeline that keeps a party of ten on schedule.

Before you
enquire

How far in advance should I book?

Six to twelve months for weddings in peak season. Editorial and event work can often be placed inside two weeks — ask.

Do you travel to the venue?

Yes. Local travel is included within 30 miles of the studio; destination work is quoted with flights and accommodation.

Is a trial required?

For brides, yes — it is where the face plan is written. For party members and event clients it is optional.

What products do you use?

A mixed pro kit built for depth range and long wear — airbrush and traditional, with sensitive-skin alternatives on hand.

Deposit and cancellations?

A 50% deposit completes your booking and the balance is due immediately after the session. Cancellations or major changes made less than 24 hours before lose the booking fee. If we cancel, your deposit is refunded in full and you will hear from us at least 24 hours ahead.
