Make-Up FAQs

Yes, we have two makeup artists on the team that would be happy to travel to you on the morning of your wedding. A travel fee would be added to the cost of your bridal package depending on the distance from the salon to your desired location. All consultations and makeup trials would take place at our Eclectic beauty salon, which hosts a state-of-the-art makeup room, complete with mirrored lights, high-end makeup chairs and a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Should you wish to have your makeup trial and consultation at home that can also be arranged. Again, a travel fee would be added accordingly.

Yes! Our makeup artists are skilled in both beauty and special FX makeup. Eclectic offers 1-2-1 and group makeup lessons for anyone who would like to know how to best apply their eyeshadow or would like to book a makeup Fx group session for a birthday. Get in touch for more details and pricing. A maximum of 8 people for group sessions.

At Eclectic we would advise our clients to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment. This would apply to bridal makeup and our 1-2-1 and group makeup lessons.

We take makeup bookings as far in advance as 18 months. Our make-up artists are at their busiest during the weekend, but please rest assured we will do our best to accommodate you.

We recommend that you book your makeup trial 6-8 weeks before your wedding day

Of course! Simply get in touch as soon as possible and our makeup artists will check their availability and advise you.

Ideally, yes. Your consultation and trial will be included as part of your makeup package and is designed to allow both you and your makeup artist the opportunity to discuss the look you would like on your special day. A consultation is a great opportunity for you to get to know one another, so you feel comfortable and confident in the makeup chair. Your makeup artist will happily give you

feedback on your chosen ‘look’ and in return, welcome any feedback from you should you wish to make any changes at any stage along the way.

Makeup is such a personal experience but please rest assured that the artists at Eclectic will listen to your needs and use their expertise to advise you.

At Eclectic, we understand how stressful planning a wedding can be and we want to ensure our clients that their well-being is our top priority. Eclectic has many treatment rooms designed to relax and de-stress a busy bride-to-be. Why not book in for a seaweed bath or deep tissue all over body massage? Some of our bridal packages offer a refreshing Epionce facial. Alternatively, you can treat yourself to a derma-planning session with an Epionce Lite Refresh Peel. This combination treatment is suitable for all skin types and like all Epionce products, is cruelty-free.

We recommend having the derma-plan treatment 1 month before your wedding to allow your skin to restore and look flawless on the day.

In addition to preparing your skin prior to your trial, please feel free to bring along some images of makeup looks that have piqued your interest, to give your makeup artist an idea of what you would like. If you are unsure, however, please do not worry. Your makeup artist will be more than happy to advise you.

Please arrive makeup-free and moisturised for your trial.

Approximately 1.5 - 2 hrs.

At Eclectic, our make-up artists will want to ensure that they are creating the perfect look for you. During the trial, they will take notes of the products used which they will then refer to on the day of your wedding.

Not at all! Your makeup artist will be highly trained in colour matching skin tones, so they will ensure your foundation blends seamlessly with your tan.

At Eclectic we offer Vita Liberata tanning, so feel free to book a session with one of our specialists to discuss your desired shade and when best to arrange an appointment.

Ideally, a maximum of 6 people will ensure there is enough time for everyone to have their makeup applied professionally on the day.

Please refer to our bridal makeup packages on the Eclectic website for more details.
