Susan Smith of Pretty Flamingo has just launched her website, which details her wedding and bridal makeup services, together with the fashion and portrait work she does with Mirror Imaging. Susan’s makeup style is polished but very natural, bringing out the best of a person’s features. She likes to draw attention to the eyes, with contouring and blending.
Her skin prepping products are organic and totally chemical free - using 100% natural skincare makes sense when it’s your wedding day! She also uses cutting edge mineral makeup; these are beautiful pigment powders in rainbow colours, which can be mixed with a range of products to create matt, luminous, or high-shine effects. Many of the products she uses are available to purchase too.
Having worked with me extensively on several photography shoots whilst I perfected the lighting, she has an understanding of how the camera ‘sees’ makeup, where the light hits the face to create the most flattering finish and how heavy or light a touch is needed for different lighting situations. This is crucial for a wedding, when you’re lit with a mix of both natural light and artificial (tungsten) light.
Susan is also qualified in Indian Head Massage (which should be compulsory for stressed out brides to be!) and offers 100% natural skincare facials separately if you feel your skin needs some correct care and attention in the run up to your wedding.
You can see a selection of her work on my online gallery, or by reading recent photoshoots earlier in this blog.
