Wedding make-up masterclass

Goodies galore for Amazing Face bridal make-up masterclass

Award-winning bridal hair and make-up artist Caroline Swaffield of Amazing Face is expanding her services to include the ultimate luxury make-up lesson for one.

With the current increase in smaller more intimate weddings due to COVID restrictions, she's introducing special lessons at her studio in Poole, Dorset for brides wanting to do their own wedding make-up. At the end of the three-hour 'I've got this' session, they'll take home their own make-up brush set and all the products they've been taught to use in a bridal make-up bag ready to go on the big day.

"They'll be taught how to use all the items to pull off a gorgeous look and I will be available via video link on the day to help if needed," explains Caroline. The lessons are also available for anyone stuck in a rut who wants to learn how to update their make-up for a fresh new look.
