THE NEW '4 BRIDES MARKETPLACE
After 20+ years in the wedding industry we have seen many changes. None more so than in the past few years with everything available at our fingertips - literally. So many businesses have gone online and as such more and more information is expected. We found that our brides wanted more choice: a choice in pricing; a choice in the type of stylist they booked; a choice in skill level and experience. Many brides have specific requirements - perhaps they want to search for a special skill that they require or maybe are looking for stylists who use organic or vegan products, for example. We have also found that brides like to get to know their stylists a bit more before booking. It is for all of these reasons that the '4 Brides Marketplace' was created. The new marketplace allows you to:

Get Expert AdviceWhen's the best time to have a hair and makeup trial?
Wondering how far out before the wedding is best, but also, would like to use the trial to help me choose my suppliers.
Emergency backup plans for makeup artist?
Hi there. Wondering about emergency backup plans in the event my makeup artist is sick or is in an emergency on our wedding day. What contingency plans are in place? Do I need to pack my own makeup just in case?
Makeup 4 Brides & Hair 4 Brides
Booking makeup and hair styling with a company with a large team helps to alleviate stress in this area as they would have backup stylists to call on in the event of illness or injury. Makeup & Hair 4 Brides have a large team of experienced bridal stylists and a great network in place for exactly this situation. Happy wedding planning. :-)
Is airbrushing for a wedding still popular?
Hi, I'm wondering what kind of makeup to have for my wedding day. What are the most popular makeup looks at the moment for weddings? And new techniques? Is air brushing still a thing or was that a fad? Thanks.
Makeup 4 Brides & Hair 4 Brides
Yes, absolutely. We airbrush almost 100% of all weddings we do still, it is as popular as ever and gives a beautiful finish. Airbrushing is simply the application of a liquid foundation in a fine mist via an airbrush gun as opposed to using a brush or a sponge. We have the ability to do a light coverage or a full coverage depending on the clients requirements. There is a large variety of different airbrushing foundations and not all are created equal. We tend to thin our own foundation to just the right consistency to ensure it goes on beautifully but isn't too thin like some of the ready to use brands. Like all makeup, the skin needs to be prepped correctly depending on the skin type and of course colour matched perfectly. An experience makeup artist will carry a full range of foundation colours or will mix them to get a perfect match for your overall skin tone.
In regards to makeup looks - we are seeing a return, thankfully, to a more natural shaped brow, but still a tidy brow. ie. the harsh, chisel shaped brows are gone, as are the unkempt brows, but still strong and defined. Brides are tending to keep their own natural shape but with a brow wax to remove the loose hairs on the brown bone. Eyes are tending to be still reasonably strong with natural looking false lashes, so we're still seeing a glam look but without going way over the top. More of a glamorous version of who they are as opposed to having themselves totally transformed into someone totally different. Shine on the face is kept to a minimum with only a light touch of shine on the brow bones, cheek bones and possibly a touch on the lips. Lips are tending to more the natural, soft dusty pinks still unless wanting to make a statement of the lips. Magnetic lashes are stirring some interest, in particular the 10 magnet lashes, and also the newer self-sticking liner bond. These are great for brides who are used to wearing lashes and may struggle with the usual latex glue.
I hope this helps. Happy wedding planning. x

Makeup 4 Brides & Hair 4 Brides
We usually recommend having a makeup and hair trial 1 - 2 months out from the wedding date. Your hair will usually be around a similar length to what it will be on your wedding day, but there is still time to factor in any treatments, trims, etc., if your hair stylist advises. Similarly with makeup, the weather should be similar to how it will be on your wedding day too. If you are having an outdoor wedding in a warm climate then you want to see how your makeup and hair will handle the conditions - so having trials at a time when the weather will (hopefully) be similar to your wedding day is advised. Having said that, we realise that some brides plan destination weddings and may have less availability so we are always happy to do trials whenever a bride requires them, fitting in around our wedding bookings.
Happy wedding planning.
