Who’s style suits you?
Whether you’re looking for a soft glam or a full smokey eye smoulder, choose the makeup artist who’s style speaks to you! One of the first steps you should take is finding your own signature makeup look and seeing which makeup artist best suits your favourite style.
We recommend Paddy McGurgan who has stores in Belfast, Derry and Newry and can accommodate to any makeup style so you’re sure to feel like a star as you strut the aisle…
Book a trial run
The last thing any bride wants on her wedding day is a last-minute makeup disaster! To be sure you’ll love your look, it’s crucial you book a trial run ahead of the wedding. This will give you time to see if this is the right makeup artist for you and will help you figure out exactly what look to go for.

Do your research
If brands and products are important to you, then be sure to ask different makeup artists what they use. Most will happily tell you and will have a variety of selections to choose from. Don’t be afraid to let them know what products work best for you, after all they want you to look and feel your best too!
