Now , this is my kind of bridal makeup , I would say this is my signature Sophia Jane makeup - soft & delicate but highlighting all of her natural beauty . I used @eyelashemporium ‘crazy in love’ strip lashes (gifted) to emphasise Kirsty’s beautiful eyes but not take away from the eye makeup. Hair was created by the amazing @amyrosebridal (super talented and a lovely human being!)

Helpful tips for your bridal trial ππΌ
β¨ Wear something light / white (or similar to your wedding dress)
β¨ Come alone - this is the one that most brides don’t understand and of course you can bring someone with you but I always find it’s better to let your own opinion be the main opinion and sometimes having someone with you can sway you .
β¨Choose your inspo from your makeup artists Instagram , Pinterest is fab but it’s so much easier if I know the products I’ve used in the past!
β¨Have a photo saved of your day to day & also your usual glam makeup to show your MUA as it helps us get an idea of what your usual style is .
β¨Everyone’s version of natural & glam are different , so think of the key things you’d like included (and not included) in your makeup as it really helps to be clued up on your vision.
β¨Don’t be a people pleaser! This is a hard one as most of us struggle to be honest but it’s your face and your big day and all I want is for you to be happy with how you look!
β¨If you have a favourite lipstick , or you love the way you do your own eyebrows - that’s absolutely fine by me. Im here to help and offer my professional advice , but I’m not the one in control .
And lastly , enjoy it!! Your bridal era can be stressful but is also over before you know it , so try to enjoy all these exciting moments & I will always do my best to make sure anything involving me is as fun and stress free as possible π€

An absolute ray of sunshine βοΈ Izzy was my 2023 NYE bride and it was the loveliest morning / day getting her and her bridal party ready at @barnetthillhotel .
Izzy want natural /soft glam and so we opted for a light base with individual lashes to emphasise her natural beauty whilst still adding a touch of glam by adding lots of glow to the skin and eyes β¨

My finishing touches for bridal makeup are always the same 3 steps -
Lips - Brides need to feel they can eat and drink throughout the morning , I usually do the brides makeup second to last, so they have time to have a bite to eat and a swig of Prosecco before they have their lipstick applied (they also receive a touch up kit from me which includes their lipstick)
Body glow - this is ALWAYS applied after the dress , which may seem scary but I tuck a tissue into the neck line of the dress and finishing with a fixing spray so there’s no transfer!
Body bronze/contour - I like to bronze around the collar bones and straight down the neck to the décolletage, this ensures the face and chest match as sometimes my brides are wearing lower cut dresses , it also photos beautifully!
Lips -
@morphebrushes sweet tea lip liner
@charlottetilbury nude Kate lipstick
@iconic.london nearly nude lipstick
Chest -
@iconic.london bronzer brush
@soldejaneiro glow body oil
@nudestix bondi bae bronzer

Glam bridal inspo β¨
Megan has the most beautiful face to paint and I love this glam bridal look , it’s nice to be able to experiment a little more with this style of makeup .
This is more makeup than it looks and it’s the perfect example of how lighting and cameras can sometimes make your makeup look like you’re wearing less than you are and why I tend to advise to go a little more glam than you’d usually go for (if you’re happy to!)

Hey ππΌ
I realised I’ve never posted ‘about me’ so I thought I’d introduce myself for any new followers β¨
I’m Sophia and here are a few facts about me ….
β¨ I’m 28 & live in Littlehampton
β¨ I’ve been doing makeup for 10 years
β¨I’m a dog person
β¨I’m a Taurus and definitely live up to it
β¨My favourite type of makeup is fresh & dewy whilst still looking glam (enhancing your natural beauty)
β¨I’m only 5ft
β¨I’m mixed ethnicity (Irish, Jamaican and British )
β¨I also do lashes , brows & facials
β¨ I don’t take myself or life too seriously & I love having a laugh with my clients .
Drop a ‘ππΌ’ in the comments if you’re new here and tell me something about you! π€
πΈ @bethborehamphotography
N E U T R A L M A K E U P
This is exactly what I would class as dewy , neutral makeup . Neutral gets very confused with natural makeup , the key difference is the amount of makeup - natural makeup is less foundation , less eye makeup and usually little/no lashes , where neutral makeup is still soft/full glam but the tones of the makeup are less bright and therefor ideal for the bride that likes wearing makeup but doesn’t want anything too crazy .
Drop me a message if you have any makeup questions that are worrying you for your big day! β¨

I’m often asked by brides whether I think red is a good option for their wedding makeup & whilst I LOVE a red lip, sometimes it’s not practical for a whole day - A great option is to change your lip colour to red for the evening , this is one of my favourite ways to incorporate a bold, red lip into your bridal look , whilst not worrying about it coming off for photos etc (here I have used @fentybeauty ‘uncensored’ lip paint)
I also added a little bit of darker shader to Georgia’s eyes to give the look a smokier vibe .
Did you know I can come back to your wedding reception to change your makeup to a ‘dusk’ look for a small extra fee?

My signature soft glam neutral bridal look , it was very hard to edit this down to 1 minute 30 with over an hour of footage π
Finished with a beautiful ponytail by @natashachanelhair (did you know we offer wedding packages together?!)
This is what I would call ‘neutral’ bridal makeup , there’s still a good amount of coverage on the skin , individual lashes and eye makeup but it’s all neutral tones . It’s often confused with natural makeup as it doesn’t look like there’s a lot of makeup, when in actual fact , there is - it’s just done right β¨

What an absolute gem!! Stephanie was one the most laid back brides I have ever had the pleasure of working with , she wanted a super stripped back makeup look as she’s a keen horse rider and hardly wears any makeup day to day .
I used @charlottetilbury light wonder foundation (an all time fave for a natural finish ) and mixed it with a little @armanibeauty luminous silk for extra GLOWβ¨

Glowy makeup is just my favourite!! β¨
Making you look like YOU is my biggest flex πͺπΌ
Bridal makeup is completely personal and there are absolutely no rules , you can go full glam or you can go for less - just make sure it feels like you .
I can’t tell you how many trials I’ve done and the bride has said ‘I want to go for something different’ & that’s fine! But just remember , these photos will be with you forever and you want to make sure you still love them in 10/20 years.

Beautiful before , beautiful after !
Charlie wanted natural, glowy makeup that felt like her everyday makeup but enhanced! Finished with this beautiful Rapunzel style braid by the fabulous @natashachanelhair .
Location - @upwalthambarns
Charlie had a last minute panic when a spot appeared the week of her wedding (much like lots of brides) and was worrying it would be visible - but I worked my magic and you cannot see it at all! πͺ
β¨Top tip for brides that get a spot the day before / day of their weddingβ¨
- Squeeze it!! I know that sounds so backwards and this doesn’t apply to all spots but if it’s a proper whitehead and it’s come up within 24-48 hours before your wedding , I recommend carefully squeezing it.
Clean skin , tissues over your fingers and gently press down and upwards and stop when you see blood. Use some sort of acid to clean and close it back up (I use pixi glow tonic) and then leave it , don’t keep going at it .
As an MUA , I find it much easier to cover a scabbed spot rather than a fresh spot .
G R A C E π€
Grace came to me for her bridal trial only a few weeks before her wedding & wanted a ‘natural smokey eye’ but was unsure if her eye shape would be able to pull it off - I assured her with a few tweaks , she could have the eye makeup she wanted that would suit her & give her eyes a real lift!
β¨See my top tips for hooded eyes below!β¨
β¨ MATTE - in my personal opinion , hooded / down turned eyes should have a matte finish to help conceal the hood.
β¨ LASHES - individual fine lashes layered up can help create the effect that the eyes are more lifted on the outer edges.
β¨ PLACEMENT - the placement of the eyeshadow is KEY π , placing your darkest colour about 2/3 across the eye and making sure it doesn’t go past the end of the lid will help the most with down-turned eyes!
I have been a member of @kristinagasperasacademy for about a year now and have learnt soo much from their online tutorials , I would seriously recommend all MUA’s join - there’s so much we can all do to upskill ourselves!

Claudia π€
A perfect example of colour theory - the pink from Claudia’s dress , rosey toned eye makeup & peachy check / lips make her blue eyes POP β¨
I used a few individual lashes just on the outer corners to accentuate her eye shape , finished with some beautiful bouncy curls by @natashachanelhair .
Don’t forget myself & @natashachanelhair have bridal hair and makeup packages available , contact either of us for more info!
Hannah π€
Look at those eyes !! I had such a fun day with Charlotte & all her bridesmaids last week at @brookfieldbarn . Each bridesmaid wanted ‘soft glam’ but they all wanted their own twist on it . Hannah was happy going more full coverage and accentuating her beautiful ‘feline’ eyes β¨

Top tip for bridesmaids - if you have a favourite lippy , bring that with you for your MUA to base your makeup around!
(I always give bridesmaids a little top up lipstick to keep with them but most people have their go-to lipstick they want to wear)
Hair by @natashachanelhair π€
Lucille π€
Lucille was just the sweetest! She wasn’t 100% sure what she wanted for her bridal makeup so we spent some time during the trial going through lots of my previous brides for inspo and then tweaked it a bit to suit her & I love the outcome! It’s so nice going for a slightly brighter lip - the shade used was @charlottetilbury ‘stoned rose’ mixed with a little @maccosmetics ‘russian red’ to create the perfect tone for Lucille’s skin tone β¨

Helen wanted more of a glam but neutral look to go with her gorgeous dress & doesn’t she look amazing π€© @charlottetilbury ‘bitch perfect’ lipstick finished the look off perfectly!!

Hollywood waves by the amazing @natashachanelhair π
Stephanie’s wedding day
It was an absolute pleasure to get Stephanie ready for her big day , super relaxed and just a JOY to be with . Both herself and bridal party are all very outdoorsy girls and don’t wear a lot of makeup , so we went for quite neutral tones for all of their makeup . Working alongside my bridal partner in crime @natashachanelhair (check out our package deals on her website) at one of my favourite venues - the beautiful @farbridgeevents π€
I still can’t believe Daisy is only 14 ?!

When the bride is also your sister π€
What a privilege it was to be the makeup artist & maid of honour for my sisters special day , it all felt so surreal and emotional!
It’s always a touch more pressure doing makeup when it’s someone you know, but we were both so happy with this makeup & Naomi looked like a princess π
Im adding the iconic illuminating drops to her collar bone and shoulders for that extra glow β¨
Many tears were shed throughout the morning and all day , yet the makeup stayed in tact!

Bridesmaid GLAM β¨
I loved creating this glam makeup for Charlotte , she wanted a bronze toned smokey eye with dewy/ fresh looking skin.
Side note - this was my first time working at Hound Lodge at in Goodwood and it was beyond amazing!! Little bells in every room to call a butler π I could definitely get used to working there!
Lucie π€
So , funny story - Lucie was a bridesmaid for her friend @louiseannettesmith last summer & I’ll now be doing her bridal makeup in July π€© but not only that, Lucie has been my personal trainer for the last 3/4 months as we just ‘clicked’ with our nutrition & training stories when we first met !
I love getting to see clients after weddings , I love being booked by a bridesmaid for their wedding day and even more , it’s so nice when clients become friends!! π€
Cannot wait to meet lots of lovely new faces over the coming months β¨
Chloe π€©
Scrolling through my phone and finding soo many photos that I’ve yet to upload ! Starting with beautiful Chloe , I loved creating this super glam bridesmaid makeup . Chloe had full eyelash extensions so the eye makeup needed to be bold to be seen , so we went with a dark brown / bronzey eye and flawless full glam skin β¨
Bridesmaid makeup doesn’t always have to be the same - your bridesmaids can let their personalities shine through !
Beautiful Valentina from last week’s styled shoot organised by the amazing @flowerandfernstudio , thank you so much for asking me to help .
I went for a natural modern bridal look , with soft wing liner & flawless skin using mainly @charlottetilbury & @narsissist - Valentina made my job very easyβ¨

Mother of the groom makeup π
I’m often asked if I do mother of the bride/groom makeup and it usually surprises me as I assume that’s a given . But I realise I hardly every post them on here, so I’m going to start changing that as I’m aware that my more mature clients would like to see the style of makeup I offer for their skin type .
Starting with the beautiful Lala - mother of the groom at @tuesdayparazo & Josh’s wedding back in November . Hair by @natashachanelhair β¨

I always love being able to see my brides again , Poppy is one of my previous brides from last summer and I was lucky enough to get to do her makeup again but this time as a bridesmaid for @tuesdayparazo ‘s wedding day . We basically recreated her bridal makeup but toned it down slightly and doesn’t she look beautifulβ¨
Venue - @northbrookparkweddings π¦
Close up β¨
Absolutely love this shot of @silvsophia_ , it really shows off the eye makeup. I used @bobbibrownuk moonstone just tapped over the lid to give that extra glow β¨
So excited to meet all my 2023 brides . I still have a few dates left this year, so make sure you’re getting booked in Asap!

Winter wedding π
This was such a lovely wedding to be a part of . Tuesday and Joshua had a winter wedding at @northbrookparkweddings and it was nice to see a different style of wedding to what I’m used to!
All the bridesmaids looked beautiful in emerald satin dresses and they had the perfect crisp winter weather βοΈ
How amazing does @anjasomers_ (MOH) look in green with a loose half up/half down created by @natashachanelhair
(Fun fact , this was actually the morning of my own engagement and I had absolutely no idea π€«)

Charlotte tilbury pillow talk vibes for this beautiful bridesmaid . I love this effortless soft glam , using rosey pinks to enhance Gabrielle’s natural beauty πΊ
Also , aren’t her natural lips just amazing!! I used a mix of @charlottetilbury Pillow talk and Penelope pink lipstick to show off this perfect pout & some individual lashes to make her eyes pop β¨

Happy Wednesday βΊοΈ
I’ve been spending the last few days emailing my lovely previous brides to send over some of their professional photos from their wedding day and I’m just so happy with them all!
This is from Ashleigh’s big day & just look how beautiful her makeup is still looking hours after having it done β¨
Feel free to send me over any photos from your wedding day that capture the makeup - I love sharing them on my socials and website π
I was scrolling through my past brides and came across this shot of @islarosepotkins , I can’t believe I haven’t posted this β¨
How breathtaking does she look ?!

Tasia Taylor β¨
What an absolutely perfect morning this was , getting Tasia and her bridal party ready at @cottesmorehotelgolf βοΈ
Tasia wasn’t entirely sure on how much/little makeup she wanted for her wedding day . This is why a trial is a MUST . I booked out a large slot for her trial and we spent nearly 3 hours together - chatting about what she liked/ didn’t like , her style of makeup etc & we got to this ππ» which I think you’ll agree is perfect !
Fresh skin , very simple eye makeup , a few individual lashes and my favourite bridal lipstick @charlottetilbury pillow talk π
Thank you for trusting me @tasiaravens , you looked absolutely beautiful!

Sarah’s princess bridal glam π
This was one of my favourite looks to do this year (don’t get me wrong, I love them all) , but it’s fun to create a full glam look sometimes and that’s exactly what Sarah wanted. Her makeup went perfectly with her Hollywood waves , princess dress and castle venue β¨
The perfect example of enhancing your natural beauty . This is Ruby , one of @poppysparks_ beautiful bridesmaids . Ruby already has such a pretty natural face , so I didn’t want to add too much makeup and take that away . We went for a super pretty soft glam, with @charlottetilbury pillow talk finishing the look off (the most perfect nude on everyone)

The Sagar’s π€
I haven’t posted on here for a while and thought I’d come back with a bang (ing) photo of this beauty - Ashleigh π€
I’d previously had the pleasure of doing Ashleigh’s makeup when she was a bridesmaid last year , So I was super honoured to get to do it again for her wedding day!
This look is the perfect example of soft glam - soft & romantic, but bold enough to last all day and photo beautifully !

Throwing it right back to April with this one , one of the beautiful bridesmaids from Liz’s wedding .
I know I’ve been awful with keeping my social media up to date , I’ve been off work this week with a lovely bug (not niceπ)
But it’s given me time to go through my backlog of photos and I have SO many ready to upload!
Lots of upcoming weddings & I can’t wait to share them all with you β¨
Bridesmaid π
Beautiful Sophie looking all pretty for her besties wedding .

Throwback to this wedding I did on New Year’s Eve .

Chloe & Ben
I absolutely love this shot , it perfectly captures Chloe’s bridal makeup β¨
We went for a subtle bronze cut crease , but darkened it up a little in the outer corners - this went perfect with Chloe’s hair and statement dress . The wedding took place at the beautiful Farbridge Barns (one of my favourites) .

I have seriously seriously missed weddings & seeing all my brides on the morning of their big day , I’ve had so many enquiries this year and it’s making me so excited to meet you all and get you looking beautifulπ€
This is a throwback to Sam’s big day at @farbridgeevents with her beautiful bridal party , the lovely Kirsty from @the.bridalist assisted me with this wedding and you’ll be seeing a lot more of her this year as she helps me with the larger weddings ππ»

Veils & Makeup
A lot of brides often ask if the makeup will still be visible through a veil ? The answer if YES! (As long as you go for the right look)
The subtler the makeup - the less you will see , by adding a touch more shimmer to the eyes or a pop of a brighter blush , everyone will be able to see how beautiful your makeup looks π€
Isla is the perfect example of this , we originally went for a matte bronze eye , but added shimmer at the last minute and it was definitely the right decision - how stunning does she look? β¨
I have so many amazing shots from the Potkins wedding that I can’t wait to share with you!
Bridesmaid glam β¨
Can you believe Polly’s dress is handmade by her mum ? π
It’s absolutely beautiful and fits her perfectly . All the bridesmaids at Sophie & Bryson’s wedding chose their own dress style - it just had to be burgundy to match the colour scheme β¨
We went for a soft makeup look as the dress was so elegant - @charlottetilbury pillow talk on the lips paired with @lauramercier ‘peach’ blush π

In action πΈ
Last minute touch ups with my @ctilburymakeup airbrush powder and @zoevacosmetics cheek brush.
I love getting action shots back from a wedding , especially ones like Megan’s as she spent most of the morning as calm and happy as she looks here!
I always like to do the bride’s makeup towards the end of the morning so that it’s the freshest for the day , but with enough time for getting ready , photos & finishing touches .
I’ve had a lot of wedding enquires come through this week and it makes me so excited for the wedding season to begin π°πΌβοΈ

NYE π₯
This New Years Eve was slightly different to my usual ones , I had the most amazing wedding booking .
Sophie & Bryson celebrated their wedding in her mum’s amazing house in West Sussex .
Laura was one of her lovely bridesmaids I had the pleasure of glamming up , all the girls wanted some NYE sparkle to match their beautiful burgundy dresses πΊ
Would you have a winter or summer wedding ? I think this wedding made me edge towards winter βοΈ
Hair by the fabulous @natashachanelhair
Megan’s wedding morning was an absolute joy with this lovely bunch!
I had 8 gorgeous ladies to glam up - the bridesmaids went for a soft shimmery glam , whilst Megan went full glam & matte skin. I think they all look amazing π€
If you need any help deciding what style of makeup you or your bridesmaids want for your wedding day , I’m always happy to give my opinion and we can do as many trials as you need πΈ

Isla Rose Potkins .
It was an absolute joy to be a part of Isla’s day , I was lucky enough to be her MUA & a guest - so I got the pleasure of seeing her walk down the aisle after spending the morning making her and her bridesmaids feel beautiful.
Isla wanted her usually fluffy brows & faux freckles with a more matte finish that would last all day whilst still looking like skin - I love the finished look π€

Georgia looking absolutely amazing for her sister’s wedding a few months agoπΊ
Obviously weddings are all about the bride (and groom) , but I also really enjoy doing makeup bridesmaids / bridal parties - it’s usually a similar look to the brides , just toned down a little - no one wants to outs-stage the bride π€©
Just a few more weddings left this year and what an amazing year it’s been! Thank you to all my past , present & future brides for choosing me to be a part of your special day π€
Look at this bunch of babes π€©
I had the privilege over the weekend of being guest & MUA for the Potkins wedding and it was AMAZING!
Isla and Chris had the most boujee wedding I’ve ever seen , I mean , just look at Isla and her bridesmaids dresses β¨
I did Isla’s makeup along with 4 of the bridesmaids and they all went for a super simple bronzey dewy look .
It’s always so lovely being mua for a friends wedding day π€

Adele and her bridesmaids πΊ
Such a beautiful day & a beautiful bunch of ladies - I love a relaxed wedding morning & have a few tips to help you brides stay calm on your big day !
- Have a timetable for the day (ask your Mua or hairdresser for help with timings)β±
- Have a separate room for your glam squad , this should be a relaxing time without the craziness of last minute dress steaming & nail painting π
πΌ
- Order breakfast or a ‘graze box’ so that no ones needing to cook or prepare food on the wedding morning βοΈ
- If you’re lucky enough to get a gift from your other half , open it before your makeup! (You WILL cry) π₯²
Touch ups β¨

As you can see , the whole bridal party was absolutely gorgeous , so it was super easy to get them ready !

I love bridal makeup for this exact reasons , the versatility, no two looks are the same , even if the bride would like all bridesmaids / MOTB to look similar , it’s adapted to their particular skin type , texture , colour etc - it’s so personal to each client π€
Looking forward to all the lovely ladies I still have to glam up this year !
