English Speaking Makeup Artist France

Q: Do you offer solo and group bookings?

A: Yes! I offer individual appointments and group bookings for bridal parties, special occasions, and makeup masterclasses. Group masterclasses are perfect for learning professional techniques - maximum 6 people per session for personalised attention.

Q: Do you offer makeup trials for brides?

A: Absolutely! Choose from two options: • Day-before trial for your welcome party (complimentary with bridal booking) • Advanced trial with €75 booking fee (fully credited toward your wedding service)

Each 1.4-hour session ensures your perfect bridal look. I recommend advance trials to allow time for any adjustments and to ensure you feel completely confident on your wedding day.

Q: How far in advance should I book for my wedding?

A: I recommend booking up to a year in advance, especially for destination weddings in the Dordogne region. This ensures your preferred date is secured and allows plenty of time for consultations and trials. Popular wedding seasons (May-September) book up quickly, so early booking is essential.

Q: Do you travel to venues for destination weddings?

A: Yes! I specialise in destination weddings throughout the Dordogne region. I travel to venues in Eymet, Issigeac, Bergerac, and surrounding areas. Travel within the region is included in my service. I bring all professional equipment and products to your chosen location.

Q: How long have you been a professional makeup artist?

A: I have 35+ years of professional makeup experience, from London where I learnt my craft to landing in France. I've worked with brides, families, and clients throughout both countries. My expertise covers all skin types and ages, with a speciality in enhancing natural beauty for luxury occasions and destination weddings.

Q: What brands of makeup do you use?

A: I use only professional, high-quality makeup brands that photograph beautifully and last all day. My kit includes luxury products suitable for all skin types and tones. I always discuss any skin sensitivities or allergies during our consultation to ensure the perfect products for you.

Q: Do you provide makeup for the bridal party too?

A: Yes! I offer makeup services for bridesmaids, mothers of the bride/groom, and other members of your wedding party. Group bookings can be arranged, and I can coordinate timing to ensure everyone is ready on schedule. Please discuss your needs during booking.

Q: How long does a makeup session typically take?

A: • Bridal makeup: 1.5-2 hours for the complete look • Bridal party: 45-60 minutes per person • Trial sessions: 1.4 hours • Special occasions: 1-1.5 hours

I always allow adequate time to ensure perfection without rushing.

Q: Which areas do you cover for makeup services?

A: I cover Eymet, Issigeac, Bergerac, and the wider South Dordogne region, plus Lot & Lot-et-Garonne departments. Experienced with destination weddings throughout the area.

Q: Do you charge extra for travel to venues?

A: Travel within my standard service area (Eymet, Issigeac, Bergerac, and surrounding Dordogne region) is included in my service fee. For locations outside this area, a small travel supplement may apply, which will be discussed and confirmed when booking.

Q: Do you offer consultations?

A: Yes! I offer free consultations to discuss your vision, skin type, preferred style, and any special requirements. Consultations can be done in person, by phone, or video call. This helps ensure we create the perfect look for your special day.

Q: What should I do to prepare for my makeup appointment?

A: Arrive with a clean, moisturised face, wear a front-opening shirt, and bring inspiration photos. Have hair done first if booking both services, and mention any skin sensitivities when booking.
