Here you’ll find a peek inside my professional makeup kit, from foundations, concealers and powders to blushers, bronzers, eye products, lip colours and all those little makeup essentials I reach for again and again. Everything here is something I genuinely use, love and recommend.

Complexion
Beautiful makeup starts with the complexion. Think seamless coverage, beautiful finishes and skin that still looks like skin. These are the foundations, concealers and powders I turn to for polished bridal makeup that looks just as good in photographs as it does in real life.
Probably been one of the longest standing products in my kit - My go to foundation, its buildable and looks flawless- J'adore!
This is fast becoming one of my favourite primers. It blurs pores and fine lines. It is also both mattifying and hydrating at the same time - genius!
Lifts and brightens around the under eye- I love using this on the inner corners - instantly wakes tired eyes.
Brilliant concealer - tacky in consistency, but means it holds and really packs a punch!
This gorgeous moisturiser & primer sits so beautifully under makeup- plus the smell is just scrummy!
My go to setting powder for keeping shine at bay, but it also pore refines and gently blurs which adds to a more flawless finish.
Bronzer, blusher and highlight
The products that bring warmth, colour and dimension back into the skin. From bronzers that softly sculpt to blushers that add just the right amount of colour and highlighters that catch the light beautifully, these are the finishing touches I reach for again and again when creating bridal makeup.
A new addition to my kit for this year, apply to the high points of your cheeks glides like a dream- obsessed with this colour!
Selena Gomez's range just keeps on giving! I adore these blushers. They are very pigmented so a little goes a long way. I love how they sit and blend into the skin like butter.
Obsessed with this bronzer. Disperses on the skin beautifully and has a stunning shimmer to give a subtle glow. By far my most used bronzer in my kit.
A little goes a long way with this liquid highlighter. I apply to the cheeks, in the inner eye and below the brow - gives a beautiful glow to the skin.
Great for giving a subtle sculpt and lift to the face- I like to use this over cream based contour sticks to give extra holding power.
Love this contour stick for giving a lightweight sculpted finish to the skin. Beautiful shades, particularly love this one.
Eyes & Brows
A little definition can change the whole feel of a makeup look. Softly sculpted eyes, beautifully placed colour, great lashes and polished brows all bring shape and balance to the face. These are the eye and brow products I rely on to create modern bridal makeup with just the right amount of impact.
I really love these liners - the colour and pigment payout is brilliant, as well as gliding on beautifully- worth the investment.
One of my trusted palettes I reach for again and again- it gives a lovely warmth to the eye whilst sculpting and lifting.
A smudge-resistant tubing formula that wraps each lash for defined, long-lasting wear, making it a brilliant choice for watery eyes and wedding-day tears.
Really love the formula of these. Cressida is a beautiful white/ pewter shade that I love to use in the inner eye to "pop"
I have been using these for years - brilliant when applied with a thin angled brush - waterproof and sweat proof.
This palette I use on almost all my clients as its brilliant at sculpting and defining. Its pigment payout is phenominal.
Lips
The final detail that pulls the whole look together. From softly defined liners and modern nudes to fresh pinks and glossy finishes, these are the lip products and shades I reach for time and again to complement beautifully polished bridal makeup.
The PERFECT lipliner shade - great at enhancing the lip and looking natural.
This high shine sparkly gloss looks so good over your fav lip colour - the perfect finish.
Great for overfilling the lip to enhance the lip shape. Love the colours and the formula
If coral/ peach tones are your thing - you will LOVE this. This is a staple in my own handbag- such a gorgeous shade!
