It may be snowing but business as usual for The Make up Girl
By shahnaz
The recent bad weather has been a little tricky but fear not all of you who have weddings, trials and consultations booked will be seen regardless!
Just drop me an email and advise me of how bad your road is where you live so I can prepare myself but otherwise business as usual : )
2010 already filling up with weddings!!
By shahnaz
Hello brides-to-be…my diary is looking pretty full for 2010 already there are very few prime time (Bank Holiday & Summer Season) dates available so if you are looking to enquire do so quite soon! Also unfortunately due to being booked up most of Autumn and Winter with weddings too I am not going to be doing any wedding shows, but if you want to speak to me or arrange a free consultation please feel free to call me 07790 012769 – 01727 846275.
Wedding in Windsor
By shahnaz
Wow…another early start today 7am and on the M25 heading to the lovely historic Windsor and the delightfull boutique style hotel in the town centre.
My bride looked amazing in her stunning gown and full length veil….her hair was embelished with pearls and jewels to echo the intricate detail of the gorgeous gown!

Busy Summer Season
By shahnaz
Well it’s been a busy Summer with weddings every week (some cases 5 over one weekend! Oh and the Friday and Monday weddings…) I have been doing the miles around Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, London and many other locations…..I’ve seen the most amazing dresses (I have to mention Abigail Mellor’s dress simply took my breath away!), met lovely bridesmaids and of course brides-to-be, visited the most unbelievable venues from the opulently, extravagantly bold (Brocket Hall, Luton Hoo,) to the elegant and expensive (Fanhams Hall) and the rustic & simple (Tewin Bury Farm) and low key locations too. I have shared in the happiness, joy and fun of all of my brides this season and have been made to feel very welcome! I have also wiped the tears from the eyes of many a bride and guest (not because I have jabbed them with a mascara wand) but because they have truly loved the end result and been made to feel every bit special on their big day ahhhhh
It’s been a wonderful summer and still more to look forward to this Autumn/Winter and there are plenty of weddings to come and no doubt more stunning dresses and venues to be seen! I shall keep you posted.

bridal hair
By shahnaz
Ah…what a refreshing change! After recently having had hundreds of requests for half up or down hairstyles finally a series of updo’s …hurray Personally I blame Cheryl Cole for the fixation with the half up style as I believe that is how she wore he hair on her wedding day! And although they look great on some people and suit the mood and theme of the wedding I still strongly believe that you cannot beat a good bridal updo. Whether it’s sleek and stylish or classical beauty you can wear your hair down any day of the week! What makes your wedding day special and gives YOU the bride that extra glamour factor is an impressive updo.
If you are unsure about what will or won’t suit your face shape and hair texture contact me for a free consultation!

It isn’t very often that I have to dress up whilst I am working but this weekend it was a friends wedding at which I was a guest aswell. Jackie looked radiant and loved her hair and make-up! She felt like a “princess” and was delighted with the result!

A few of my favourite things!!
By shahnaz
These are the essential beauty must haves that I carry in my make-up bag and will not leave home without!
Fist of all Dior Show Mascara, undoubtedly the best lengthening, voluminous and long lasting mascara on the market. Doesn’t smudge or turn gloopy.
Secondly I just cannot live without the Mac Cremestick nude lip pencil in Creme O Spice it’s a perfect colour for most skin tones and on the days you don’t fancy a heavily made up look, just a hint of lip pencil with a lip balm can add that all important warmth!
I line my eyes with the Clinique Quick Eyes creme liner and for someone who wears contact lenses and has ultra sensitive eyes this liner it perfect! Doesn’t smudge (only if you want it to) or irritate the eyes and most importantly once applied you don’t need to re-apply in a hurry!! Very long lasting.
For kissable soft lips I use Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream it also great for dry skin patches on the hands and face!
And finally I use MAC Harmony Blush on my cheeks and I have been using this particular colour and brand for about……..11 years!! Of course now and again I change my blush but always come back to MAC…ahhhhhh.
