I am a professional freelance Makeup artist based in Manchester / Cheshire.

Welcome to Sarah Meredith - Professional hair and makeup

Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, and as the centre of attention you will want to look and feel your best.

On your wedding day i will help create a relaxing, calm, fun atmosphere -

I have lots of experience of calming stressed out brides and mothers of brides on the wedding day!

I am a mobile make-up and hair artist, this means that I will travel to you either at home or to your venue on your wedding day - so just a nice relaxing experience!

Makeup Trial

 

I will visit your home to carry out a trial. I recommend a trial is normally done 4/6 weeks before the wedding day.

A Trial should take place at least 6 weeks prior to your wedding day.

A trial is essential for the bride, the trial will ensure that you are happy with how you will look on your wedding day, that you are not sensitive to the products used and that your wedding day will run smoothly with your make-up, hair and timings. Your trial will last up to two hours. Members of your bridal party may join you at your trial. Please allow an extra hour for each other person requiring a trial.

We will discuss your usual skincare and makeup on a daily basis to understand your personal style . I have inspirational hair images and makeup styles to assist you in choosing a look for your wedding makeup and hair . We will talk about what makeup looks and the hairstyle you would like to try , which we will create and adjust until your completely satisfied and confident in your wedding makeup and hair !

The items to bring to a trial :
  • Examples / Samples of brides dress and Bridal party dress
  • Tiara , decorative hair pins , veil , hair accessories
  • Prints / Tears from the internet or magazines of hair and makeup
  • Makeup bag so I can see what makeup is normally used
  • Camera for you to take photos for future reference

Any adjustments will be made until you are 100% happy.

Wedding Day Makeup

 

I will arrive at your home or wedding venue to set up my kit and discuss any changes you may wish to make to your chosen look. All your bridal parties hair will be created first so that later when make-up is applied it looks fresh . I always leave at least two hours for a bride to allow plenty of time and less stress for you on your day . I will then prepare your skin for make-up application , using primers and products to enhance . I use only the best products in the industry, which are designed to be long lasting and durable. Obviously, you will need to retouch your lipgloss/lipstick. I will be able to inform you of the lip product i use at the trial, so if preferred, you can purchase it for retouch throughout the day.

I usually stay until you are ready to leave as lipstick/gloss and veil are fitted after you have put on your dress. So, if you if you require assistance with fastening your dress, jewellery or other final arrangements such as packing your handbag, attaching button holes, helping you and your dress into the car, i will be happy to stay and will make sure everything runs smoothly and stress free.

Due to an ever increasing demand for this service, I have created a team of professional freelance Hair & Makeup Artists, each of whom posses the same high standards. Like our Brides, each Stylist has something unique and special to offer, ranging from TV and Fashion to Bridal.  They only use the best products on the market including; MAC, Bobbi Brown, Chanel and Trish McAvoy so you can achieve a professional and flawless look with products you can also purchase yourself.

"Hi Sarah,

I would just like to thank you for the stunning make up and hairdressing you did on saturday for Lucy's wedding.

The hair held for all 5 of us all day long as did the make up. We just needed to touch up the lippy as the day went along.

You worked so hard with no break throughout the day and under difficult conditions with the children and photographer under your feet alot of the time.

Thank you once more for your time, your style and flair and for being so very patient with us all as you made us all feel very calm and relaxed.

Love Mel xxx"

"Hi Sarah,

Sorry this has taken a few weeks, but I just had to let you know what a fantastic job you did for me, mum & our bridesmaids. Everybody looked absolutely amazing, Mum was over the moon & despite a very windy drive to the church in the open topped car I still arrived feeling amazing! My hair and make up still looked fantastic at the end of the day even after several bouts of tears!!

I can't thank you enough for how easy you made the morning of the wedding, it made such a difference to me that I didn't have to worry about all the girls & meant that I really enjoyed those first few hours.

If you want any pictures or if you have anyone who wants references then please just let me know.

Thanks again Sarah,"

"What a day! It was amazing, I was so nervous but totally relaxed when I got to church!

Thank you so much for all you help on Saturday. My hair stayed perfect all day and I didn't have to reapply once!! It really suited my dress. I couldn't have been happier!

Everyone said how beautiful the bridesmaids looked also. I thought you were very professional and always returned emails/ question promptly which, when you are organising at a distance, is priceless

When I get some photos I'll send them on. Thanks again Sarah

Love
