"Paulina did my make up for my bachelorette party and it was perfect! I had so many compliments and my skin was glowing all day! My make up stayed on all day, I didn’t even bother touching up. She was also lovely to chat with, she is very inspiring and passionate. I would highly recommend her, especially if you are interested in cruelty free products!" - Ashley

My top 5 tips for the lead up are:
1. If you haven't started to invest in your skincare i.e facial's, suitable skincare products for your skin type/concerns, start now!
2. Do not change your skincare regimen one month or even six month's to be safe, prior to the wedding day. Don't add anything new. Just keep doing what you have been doing and be consistent.
3. Drink lot's of water, get as much sleep as you can and do a hydrating mask the night before.
4. If you have been getting treatments on your skin in the lead up. An oxygen facial/peel and LED light therapy a week before will have your skin glowing for the big day!
5. Stress-Less, I know it's easy said then done because let's face it wedding planning can be stressful, however stress can increase inflammation, causing dehydration and breakouts.
Paulina herself does not do hair styling, however hair services are available and can be put into a package for you should you require a hairstylist. Paulina has collaborated and worked with many professional bridal hairstylist's before, which is how she has built great relationships and found hairstylist's for her previous brides.
Paulina is currently looking for professional hairstylist's to join her team.
Yes! Bridal trials are very important for both the bride and the makeup artist, I have bridal trial's in all my packages for you. This is a great way to meet one another, an opportunity to work together in creating and bringing your bridal makeup vision to life whilst still feeling like yourself.
Please allow 2-3 hrs for your bridal trial as its a time to play around with our options, once we know which look we are going with for the big day, on the actual day it will run seamlessly because we already know what products we will be using on you.
Also, I suggest we book your bridal trial date on a day where you may have something on so you can see how the makeup holds and how you felt with it on and ofcourse have your makeup already done for the event. Why not book your hair trial on the same day!
I am based in North Sydney, however I am a mobile service and travel to you regardless of your location.
I believe my heart and warmth around people set me apart. I have had many client's tell me they feel very comfortable around me and like they have known me for years, this helps especially when dealing with brides because they feel and trust they are in great hands. I listen to them and deliver.
Also being an animal lover and against animal cruelty, I opt for luxury brands that neither they or any third parties test on animals. Sometimes brands change and sell to third parties so I do my best to stay up to date with any changes and make sure the products in my kit are not only high in quality but cruelty-free <3
I have been a makeup artist for over 14 years now so I can do whatever makeup you like, however my style of bridal makeup is usually very skin like, natural, soft glam, makeup. Less is more!
Yes! Paulina Makeup offers touch up services for 1/2 day to full day. This can also be included in your Luxury Bridal Makeup package.
