Traditional makeup is applied using brushes, sponges and applicators. It tends to be quicker than airbrush application and can also be built up from light to full coverage, depending on your preference. Traditional foundation is often in the form of liquid or cream consistency and can have an oil, water or wax base depending on the formulation.

Katie will advise you how to use this product sparingly and effectively to achieve the desired result.

We can’t thank Katie enough for doing our hair and make up for my brother’s wedding. She is kind, personable and really listens to the client. She gave great suggestions and we couldn’t have been happier. We had so many comments on how beautiful our make up looked. Thank you again for making the day very special. JM

Katie did my makeup for our engagement party, engagement photoshoot and the trial for the wedding for my hen’s night, so I had complete confidence in what Katie could do on the big day, and she didn't… disappoint! Katie is a wonderful makeup artist and a very calming person to have nearby during the hustle and bustle on the wedding morning. On the day she did both my makeup and hair and I felt so beautiful and elegant. She also did the makeup for our three bridesmaids and Andrew’s mother, and she helped put eyelashes on my mother.
