Professional Freelance Make-up Artist

So you've set the date, booked the venue and chosen your dream dress, but have you thought about your bridal make-up? Make-up by Kelly Hollands believes that choosing the look of your wedding day make-up is as important as choosing your dream dress. After all, your look will be captured in photos forever!

As a professional make-up artist, Kelly understands that every bride wants to look radiant and beautiful on her wedding day and with her experience, your entire bridal party can look picture-perfect on your special day.

Kelly has worked as a freelance make-up artist for the past few years, having trained at Brentwood Academy and Essex School of Beauty.

Using only high quality cosmetics including M.A.C, Bobbi Brown, Dior, Chanel, Smashbox, FACE Atelier and Laura Mercier, the application techniques Kelly uses will not only ensure you look fantastic, but will also last the whole day and night without the need of re-touching.

Kelly is based on Canvey Island in Essex and is fully mobile to travel to your home or chosen venue. Areas covered are Essex, Kent and Hertfordshire.

felt amazing. The make-up was so
natural and lasted all day and night

Bridal

Brides

It is advisable that all brides have a make-up trial at least 6-8 weeks before their wedding date. The trial is also a time for you to discuss your wedding dress design, hair style, colour scheme, timings and how you would like to look on your big day.

Trials are carried out at your home and can take between one and two hours. However, there is no time limit. Kelly will only leave when you are 100% happy with your final look.

On your wedding day, Kelly will arrive at either your home or chosen venue at the agreed time and re-create the look from your trial.

When booking your make-up trial, a £20 deposit is required to secure your wedding date in Kelly's diary. This deposit will then be deducted from the trial amount. Once you are happy with your trial make-up, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of your wedding day make-up will be required, with the balance payable no later than 14 days prior to your wedding date.
