A TRANSFORMATIVE WEDDING MAKEUP, FOR AN ACNE AND ROSACEA SUFFERER.
My lovely Bride Katie found me via Google Search as she was looking for a skin specialist that could help her with her skin concerns for her Wedding Day Makeup Look. She had an inkling she had acne but couldn’t explain the other conditions of her skin. After a video consultation where we went through her skincare routine, various medications and their effects I referred her to Self.London, a Dermatology clinic in London’s Harley Street. They diagnosed her with Acne AND Rosacea, which if any of you that suffer with either or indeed both, know that they’re conditions at almost opposite ends of the dryness vs oiliness scale, so can be difficult to treat together. Self. London started Katie on pioneering laser treatment called Aviclear.
These photos tell a product story of the Skincare and Makeup we used during Katie’s Wedding Makeup Trial and her Wedding Day.

By Sarah London Balancer Cream Cleanser, By Sarah London Serene Daily SPF50, Kryolan Setting Spray.
I used the By Sarah London range as they’re geniusly created for skin recovery. They’re kind to skin whilst being nourishing. The SPF is great for oilier skin types as it dries as though it’s not there. Perfect for those that hate ‘feeling it’ on the face.
I primed Katie’s face with Kryolan Setting Spray so the concealers used had extra ‘sticking’ power.
I found HausLabs Triclone Skin tech concealer to be the best at covering the rendess, scarring and evening the texture in Katie’s skin. I mixed with the Makeup Forever HD Concealer for extra staying power and coverage. Although Katie had scarring and redness lingering I wanted to use the least amount of product possible, these two concealers enabled that. I finished with Zoeva Velvet Love Blush Powder in joy and Kryolan Bronzing Powder and Setting Powder.

Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette, Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara and Brow Gel. Stila Smudgeproof Waterproof Eye Pencil Vivid Smoky Quartz.
I used the Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Palette ( Limited Edition) to create subtle, pretty shading and colour to Katie’s hooded eyes. Peachy tones made everything look fresh. I used Stila Vivid Smoky Quartz eyeliner, sealed with Depixym and finished with Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara ( the best waterproof mascara in my opinion) and some cluster lashes. Her brows were set with Eyeko brow gel.
Bespoke Lipstick mix, on the day No7 Hydra Luminous Lip Balm in Blush
During the trial I made a bespoke lip colour for Katie, she was keen on replicating the exact colour I made so after the trial went makeup shopping and found No7 Hydra Luminous Lip Balm in Blush. It was the perfect choice.
