Vanessa got in touch about her Gate Street Barn Wedding and wanted eye makeup with warm taupe tones and an elegant textured bun for the day. We combined a trial for her with an everyday makeup lesson for her gorgeous Mum, Priscilla.

Vanessa’s look was centred around bronzed healthy summer skin, a smokey taupe eye and a sultry nude lip. I added fullness to her hair with Babyliss hot rollers, Aveda curl cream and L’Oreal style spray and whipped it up onto a tousled and looped chignon. Flowers and a veil were a gorgeous accompaniment.


This wedding was possibly my most challenging as I was also in charge of helping her 7 bridesmaids get ready and Priscilla. We did some gorgeous 5 min inspired hair styles, blow dries and I kept their colour palette the same, accentuating their cream and glitzy outfits with slate shadow, sparkle and cluster lash inserts.
Vanessa’s sister in law had travelled from Asia for the wedding so we gave her salty tousled beachy waves, lots of bronzer and illuminators and a coral nude lip.
