Lara Kingshott Bridal Makeup

WiIl my wedding makeup last all day?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over 10 years I have worked on making sure that your wedding makeup will be the best it can be. To last both the test of time, but also last from sunrise to sunset (even in the height of summer)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I only use the best techniques and products that have been perfected throughout the years, to ensure that you look and feel your best without the need to touch up. Who wants to worry about their makeup on their wedding day, not you! So relax, sip on that ice cold bubbly and wash any worries away because your makeup will 100% last all day with me!

Let's Talk About Humidity
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all love a summer wedding, and although we haven't had too much sun this summer, the humidity has definitely been present!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My top tips for humidity are:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. If you are feeling hot and overwhelmed, dampen your wrists with cold water! It is one of the quickest and most effective ways to cool your body down.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Powder will be your friend. Using powder around your T-Zone can control that humidity glow and turn your skin into that of a glowing goddess.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. You can't beat a fan! If there is a fan in your venue or you have one on the day, use it as much as possible. You won't regret it.

Your First Friend And Your Best Friend
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is always so much fun getting to know how you and your bridal party know each other, it is a time many reminisce on so many good times you have shared together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when it is sisters it is even better! You have been together through it all and the bond you have is like no other.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is always so lovely to help you, by helping your sisters feel treated on your wedding day, even if they aren't a bridesmaid.

"I would recommend Lara to anyone looking for occasional make up. Lara is a wonderful person and made the morning so lovely and was a pleasure to meet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My sister looked incredible as we all did. The make up lasted all day and night, even after happy tears and dancing."

Can I Be Honest With You About Your Bridesmaids Makeup?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is one part of your wedding that you won't have to worry about. During your makeup preview I will go through with you if you have any specific requests for your bridesmaids makeup and put a plan in place then and there. If your bridesmaids then have any personal requests I will discuss this with them on your wedding morning with your overall vibe in mind, so not to clash.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"My bridal party were so impressed with their makeup, Lara was super friendly and put us all at ease. Thank you so much for being part of my special day!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you book with me, you can book with confidence that I will assist you, and relieve you of any unnecessary stress, so you can enjoy your big day!

Unpopular Opinion: There Can Be Too Much Glow!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you are looking back at your wedding photos after waiting for them for a month or so, you don't want to be surprised by a sweaty looking bride towards the end of the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I work with my brides to create a personable makeup look that works for them and their individual skin types. We will add the glow where you want it, but also make sure to avoid a look that looks too wet or sweaty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In your pre-preview questionnaire I find out all about your skin type, and divulge into this in your trial to ensure that on your wedding day you are looking incredible, while giving you the glow that you desire (just in the right places).

Want Your First Look To Be Irresistible? ​​​​​​​​​
Working with my clients to make you feel your very most confident on your wedding day is extremely important to me. You want that first look between you and your partner to be something out of an old Hollywood movie (or the 90's chick flicks if your my age).

Making your favourite features stand out is a must! So of course we had to make Amy's eyes stand out with these warm neutral tones and luscious lashes!

If you are still looking for someone to bring out your features, DM me so we can discuss more!

Do you have the perfect bridal party?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the morning of your wedding you just don't know how you are going to be feeling but also how those feelings are going to effect you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You may be nervous, you will probably be excited, you may even want to check in on everything as the day is setting up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the biggest advice I can give to help you have the best morning is to make sure that you have people around you who you know will make your morning the best it's ever been!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether that is calming your nerves, hyping you up, making sure you are fed and watered, or even checking in on things that you are nervous about to ease any worries.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As well as having this security in your bridal party, you also want to make sure that you know your makeup artist, hair stylist, photographer and videographer will match your vibe! After all they will be spending the morning, and even the whole day with you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so much fun getting Kate and her bridal party all glammed up with an incredible team of creatives for her perfect wedding morning!

Why you NEED a makeup artist for your wedding day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While planning your wedding and looking at budgets it could make sense to do your own makeup on your wedding day.
However what you aren't accounting for is how much other people will need your attention on your wedding morning, the emotions you will be feeling on your day, and even where to start with your wedding makeup.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even when I first started in the industry I always thought that I would do my own makeup, and now 3 years in and engaged myself, I can definitely say that from experience it is 1000% worth every penny!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting to sit in that makeup chair and chill before one of the best days of your life while being treated like a celebrity! It makes for the best start to your day and gives you time to take it all in with everyone else as well!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DM to see if your date is still available so that you can feel like the bride your are while getting pampered all morning long!

The Question That I Get Asked Most As A Bridal Makeup Artist Is -
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Will it look like my face is caked in makeup?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No, your makeup can look how you want it to, but with me I love to let your natural beauty shine through!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here we have just used a very light coverage foundation and a soft pink rosy blush to let the skin look like skin! Of course we will use things such as lashes to enhance your natural beauty, but you will look and feel like yourself while you are walking down the aisle with your bridal party!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you love natural looking glowy skin? Then DM me and let's discuss that more!

Are You Still Curious Whether We Are The Best Fit?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was such an incredible honour getting Anna ready for her day after meeting her almost two years ago at
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I couldn’t have asked for my makeup to be more perfect. I felt amazing on my wedding day and got SO many compliments. Not only is her work brilliant, Lara is also so lovely. She makes you feel so comfortable… I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted when it came to makeup so I asked her whatever she thought looked best and she smashed it!”

3 Top Tips For Tear Proof Makeup!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. WATERLINE
If you feel yourself tearing up and you have had your makeup already done, then grab a tissue and place it on your waterline and close your eyes. This soaks up the water and keeps your makeup in place!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. SET IT
If you don't have a tissue to hand, your makeup artist should have set your under eyes with powder and setting spray to give an almost waterproof finish to your makeup. If those tears do fall though then make sure to tap them off, NEVER wipe!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. LET IT OUT
Finally, if you haven't started with your makeup yet and start feeling those happy/excited tears coming on...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LET IT OUT!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By letting your emotions out this will save you from exploding later and have you smiling like Florence in all of your pictures!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SHARE this post with your bridal party, sometimes they need these tips more than you do!

Your Wedding Vibe Is A Collaboration
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It isn't until the day itself that you finally get to see everything come together, which can sometimes be a scary concept.
However if you have picked suppliers that thrive with your vibe then this should not worry you at all!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When booking with me we go through your entire look, theme and the finer details before your Preview 2 months before. With all this information in mind, I am then able to curate your perfect bridal look to collaborate and accentuate all the other areas of your wedding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to sit back and relax while planning your bridal makeup then DM me "VIBE" so we can collaborate together!

What If I Told You That Your Date Wasn't Available?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that the average bridal makeup artist books out dates around 12-18 months before the wedding date!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is nothing worse than that gut wrenching feeling that your ideal makeup artist/supplier isn't available for your wedding date as they are already booked up! This has even happened to me when planning our wedding for 2024.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So from experience, don't wait. If you have fallen in love with your wedding supplier then jump now before it is too late.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are looking for glowing, confidence boosting bridal makeup then definitely enquire in my DM's or via the booking form on my website to avoid any disappointment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After all you want to smile from ear to ear knowing that you have your dream bridal makeup on your big day!

Have We Met Before?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was such a pleasure helping Harriet become the most beautiful bride on her wedding day! We had met previously when I did her makeup as a bridesmaid two years before at and so to see her name pop up in my emails for her wedding was so exciting!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With such gorgeous skin, we really wanted to Harriet to GLOW for her intimate wedding celebrations with a soft fluffy brow and neutral tones.

If this is your vibe then definitely DM me to see if your date is still available.

So what happens after your bridal preview?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you have had your preview with me you will receive a post-trial questionnaire to voice all the things you LOVED, and any changes you want to make for your big day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can be nerve-racking before your preview but I will make sure that you feel comfortable throughout and that you leave knowing that you can relax on your wedding day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Lara was so lovely and welcoming. She talked me through everything she was doing and we discussed what I wanted. Came away feeling so glam and loved it!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have received a pre-trial questionnaire, make sure to fill this in sooner rather than later so that we can get you booked in with enough time before your wedding day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can't wait to meet more of my beautiful brides this year!

Top Tips for the summer bride
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
~ Don't forget SPF on your body, you don't want to look burnt in your wedding photos
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
~ Lighter layers of makeup will last longer, even though it seems like I am using a lot of products it will be minimal application with a beautiful finish
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
~ Leave enough time to get into your dress in case you get hot
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
~ Fizz is always good to keep you cool
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
~ Keep your flowers in water and in the cool for as long as possible to keep them looking fresher for longer
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hope you are able to take something away from these for your summer wedding to stay cool and fresh on your big day!

Why is wedding makeup more expensive than occasion makeup?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is due to a multitude of different things, however the two main differences are...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THE TECHNIQUE ~ Bridal makeup requires the ability to keep up with current and long lasting trends and techniques that enhance your natural beauty, as well as lasting all day and all night! This come with both time and a lot of investment in training and research
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THE JOURNEY ~ With bridal makeup we are there with you from the minute you book (which can be years in advance) to the day of your trial and the morning of your big day! We want you to feel like the main character of your wedding day and also the lead up! This takes time, money and a lot of organisation to make sure that your journey is as smooth as possible!

If you would love to invest in the best bridal makeup artists for your wedding needs, then DM to see if your date is still available!

What if I told you that your wedding makeup doesn't need to be heavy?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A common misconception with wedding makeup is that it needs to be heavy to look flawless. On your wedding day the biggest thing is for you to feel comfortable, happy and confident! If you can feel your makeup on your skin then you wont be able to relax.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead we will create the look of your dreams that makes you smile from ear to ear while making you feel a million dollars!
