Being Happy in Your Skin!

By shahnaz

I don’t wear a great deal of makeup day to day, I moisturise and use a good eye cream but it is difficult as you get older to continue looking radiant on minimal sleep especially when you are a mum as well as a makeup artist!

COVID19 – Due to the uncertainty of the current situation we appreciate that a degree of flexibility is required so if your wedding date needs to be postponed to an alternative date due to the virus the deposit amount will be transferred to the new date. All deposits are non-refundable. Please provide sufficient notice. Also note that until we get the all clear from the virus makeup artists and assistants will be wearing masks and taking the necessary precautions to protect clients, we will also be allowing extra time on the day of the wedding to disinfect brushes and change gloves between clients. If a member of your party is displaying any symptoms of a cold/fever we will not be able to carry out the hair/makeup.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to making you up for your big day very soon!

Stay safe.

Covid19 Training Course Complete

By swalford

In preparation for going back to work (whenever this may be) I remain hopeful that it will be this Summer, although this is not guaranteed.

The Beauty Guild have compiled a Hygiene and Safety course specifically designed for the current Pandemic – Covid19 and how to prevent cross contamination, to keep clients and therapist safe whilst still being able to provide a service.

I would like to inform my clients that as always safety is of paramount importance, I always keep a clean work place and kit. In addition I have introduced special measures to ensure there is no risk of transferred germs between clients.

Also pleased to inform you that I have completed the Guilds Covid19 Course.

Wedding at Milling Barn

By shahnaz

I have just finished beautifying the gorgeous bride Carina and her maids at The Milling Barn in Throcking – Nr Baldock. Carina chose a curly side updo, a little volume on the crown and pretty flowers to finish the style perfectly.

Carina also chose a summery flawless makeup, individual lashes and a golden glow looked absolutely beautiful and will compliment her Blush coloured wedding gown.
