AMY -
On Saturday the 12th of August I set off to St Merryn to do
the lovely Rebecca Heseltons wedding make up. We had done a trail two weeks
before so with the required tools in hand and the desired look fresh in my mind
I arrived to her parents’ home for 11am. One of my favourite things about my
job is the feeling I get when I arrive at a bride to be’s house on the morning
of her wedding. Excitement is thick in the air and to be a small part of that
leaves me feeling really lucky and honoured. Plus, as far as brides go Rebecca
was a dream! She was excited, laid back and just so lovely to work with – which
makes my job incredible easy. Rebecca chose a natural look for the day and so
we went for shimmers and soft shades as you will see from the photographs. We
had a laugh during the makeup and upon showing Rebecca the completed look I
received a huge hug as she told me it was exactly what she had envisioned. I
spent my time between doing Rebecca and her mums make up advising and having a
play with the bridesmaids make up. And then when Kirsteen, Rebeccas' mum was
ready I set to work with her. Again she was laid back and lovely. All she
wanted were the appearance of her few age spots reduced for the day. For
Kirsteen I applied a light coverage of foundation and again subtle tones. She
also was thrilled and the makeup even received a compliment from her husband!
Thank you Rebecca and the bridal party, it was an honour to be there on
the morning of your wedding and congratulations Mr and Mrs Miles, I wish you a
lifetime of happiness together!
REBECCA -
First of all, let me say THANK YOU so much for doing our makeup. You
were so brilliant. The trial in the gorgeous bridal house of Cornwall put me
right at ease. We talked about mood boards, the kind of makeup I usually wear
and the kind of look we wanted for the wedding (natural, 'me at my best' and
able to withstand whatever the Cornish weather threw at it). By having the
trial we could tweak exactly what I wanted so I felt really comfortable and
excited going into the morning of the wedding.
And on the morning of the wedding, you were perfect. I had a cold! (No
one ever reads about brides with colds!) But Amy made sure my skin was
flawless. The makeup you used was great for sensitive skins, matched away a
slightly dubious sunglasses tan line mark and created a natural, pretty and
'English Rose' look which I really wanted. So many people complimented me
throughout the day on how well I l looked and how natural which was the best compliment
ever.
I bought my dress, veil and shoes from Bridal house of Cornwall so I had
experienced first-hand how well Tash, Kelly and Amy looked after Brides to be.
So when I heard Amy was setting up the beauty parlour I knew that she would
have the perfect combination of someone who really knows how to look after you
and make you feel special, as well as being a top notch makeup artist. I felt
absolutely incredible all day and it was down in no small part to Amy and her
team.

The morning spent getting ready for the ceremony, was a
time of love, companionship and purpose. Amy was in charge of doing our makeup,
I do not usually wear make-up....ever...so was reluctant to do anything too
radical. Rebecca, however, was keen that I have some make-up done
professionally and sensitively; Amy knew exactly what was expected of her and
set to.
Amy asked if there was anything I particularly wanted and all I
said was I still wanted to look like "me" but without the two age
spots!! No problem she said and began.... when I looked in the mirror it was
"me" on a really good day, it was "me" without the age
spots and it was "me" looking happy and delighted with the results.
My husband said “It’s beautiful - you look really
lovely". Note to self.....must start using make up!!
Amy also gave the bridesmaids advice and guidance when asked, was
not flustered and remained calm and unhurried. It was perfect.
Amy, thank you for all you did in helping Rebecca and being
a part of her special day, thank you.
I would certainly recommend Amy and I just loved knowing
that I really did look my best.
