Nicole did the makeup for my wedding - 6 bridesmaids, 3 guests & me. From the first time I contacted her, it was nothing but a pleasure, extremely flexible and helpful. I left all the colour decisions to her, they really suited my skin tone, our theme and am so happy with the result.
She worked with the hairdresser to make sure that my pre-wedding time was calm and trouble free.
The whole bridal party received so many compliments, I would not hesitate in recommending Liquid Illusion to anyone and thank her immensely for making my big day perfect.

Nicole made me feel comfortable and relaxed right through the preparations on my big day, which I had gathered she would be from how lovely she was at my trial. She worked with me to find the look for me and gave suggestions along the way.
I felt stunning and even better the makeup lasted all evening! She even gave my junior bridesmaid (12 years old) a ‘light touch’ just to help her feel part of the big day. Thanks Nicole

I just wanted to thank you for your hard work on my wedding day!
My girls looked amazing and I was so pleased with everything you did and the way my makeup looked, just your presence itself was calming on the day; which was much needed with 5 bridemaids and a baby!!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you again for my makeup on Saturday, it lasted the whole day / night and I felt super comfortable and even like a princess…
So many people commented on how beautiful my makeup was and I really can’t thank you enough.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a trial?
Trials are important to help us understand the look you want to achieve for your big day.
It ensures everyone is clear on what is wanted & how it will look, it also gives you a chance to wear the product, make sure you’re happy & that it wears all day.
What does a trial involve?
Our makeup trials include a personal consultation in the comfort of your own home (or a location that suits), where we discuss makeup style options together with the finer details of your wedding. From wedding dress style and colour, to flower choices, hair style and photographer arrival times – we’ll put together the right customised makeup plan for you.
How long will it take?
For trials, allow approximately 1½ to 2 hours, this allows enough time to discuss, create and record all the details for the big day.
For wedding day – we will work with you to determine start and finishing time allowing for the important (and celebratory) interruptions.
For special occasions – 45mins – 1 hour depending on requirements.
How do you remember what I liked?
Once you’re happy with the trial, your makeup artist creates a personal face chart along with taking photographs of all styling as record for the important day. A trial is recommended at least 6 – 8 weeks before your wedding.
What do I need to bring to my trial?
We suggest you bring to any images, photographs, colour schemes, and accessories with you. (We always welcome any ideas you may have…)
Your makeup artist will assist in establishing the look you are after by bringing style guides and images of previous work.
What if I dont know what 'look' I want?
Easy, our artist work with you to suggest colours that suit your skin tones, wedding theme or favourite colours.
Still undecided, for a small additional fee, the makeup artist will create 2 separate looks / colour themes and this will help you make an informed decision about your perfect look, these will both be photographed & documented for reference.
