Question 1

What is the Design Appointment & Trial?

Accepted Answer

The Design Appointment is almost the same as a Trial.
I like to call it a Design Appointment because we go through, and design your complete look, once you have your outfit and jewellery. When you come to my Studio, we will match and compliment your hair and makeup look, with your style and outfit, where you will see your full look before the Big Day. 
​
Having a Trial before you have your outfit and jewellery, often doesn't give you the full picture of what you'll look like on the day, but is more to see if you like the interpreted style of my work. 
If you are happy to secure your booking after your Trial, you may need to then book a Design Appointment also, to design your complete look, once you have your outfit and jewellery. This would be an additonal cost.
​​
Most of my brides prefer the streamlined process of booking in advance and having their Design Appointment, once they have their outfit(s), veil or dupatta and jewellery.
Or if you prefer, you can book your Trial before securing your date.
​
My Studio is located in Watford, WD25 and I travel all over the UK and Internationally for my brides.
​
The Design Appointment/Trial is £250.00 for hair and makeup.​

A Trial/Design Appointment is £250.

Question 14

Why choose Reena as your Bridal Makeup Artist

Accepted Answer

Many Artists can honestly say, that they have years and years of experience doing Bridal. 
But where I differ, with humbleness, is that I have worked on all skin tones, from all walks of life and have an array of differing experiences from TV to Bridal.
Because I work in TV on a day-to-day basis as well as on Brides, I have a unique and deep-set skill on understanding all skin tones and textures, as well as hair.
As I work everyday doing Hair & Makeup continuosly on women and men, from all walks of life, under pressure, time constraints and also dealing with different characters, under varying circumstances, must knowing trends and deep product knowledge; has given me distinct experience and quick interpretation skills for my clients.
A unique offering for my Brides, showing my passion and love for what I do. 
My aim is for my clients to leave my chair feeling fabulous inside and out.
