Learn How to Do Your Own Wedding Makeup — Calm, Confident & Completely You

Planning your wedding and considering doing your own makeup?

Whether you’re having a destination wedding, an intimate elopement, or simply want the confidence of doing it yourself, a bridal makeup lesson gives you the skills, knowledge and reassurance to look your absolute best on the day.

This lesson is designed for brides who already wear makeup and want to elevate it into a natural, timeless bridal look — polished, long-lasting and perfect for photos, without feeling heavy or overdone.

Bridal Makeup Lesson for Brides Who Want a Natural Wedding Look

This 1.5-hour bridal makeup lesson is ideal if you:

  • Want to do your own wedding makeup but don’t want to guess or feel overwhelmed

  • Love a natural, glowing makeup style that still feels like you

  • Already have some makeup knowledge and want to refine your technique

  • Are getting married abroad and won’t have a makeup artist on the day


You’ll leave knowing exactly how to recreate your wedding makeup confidently — no rushing, no second-guessing, no stress.

With extensive experience in both bridal makeup and teaching women how to apply their own makeup, Nicola helps you create a natural wedding look you can confidently recreate on your big day.

A Personalised Bridal Makeup Lesson — Tailored to You

This is not a generic makeup class. Your lesson is completely personalised to:

  • Your wedding style and dress

  • Your current makeup collection

I’ll assess what you already own, show you how to use it properly, and recommend only what will truly enhance your bridal makeup look — no unnecessary purchases.

How the 1.5-Hour Bridal Makeup Lesson Works

Hands-On, Step-by-Step Guidance - I demonstrate techniques on one side of your face while you practise on the other, so you gain real confidence applying your own makeup.

Perfect for Destination Weddings & DIY Brides

If you’re getting married abroad, a bridal makeup lesson for destination weddings allows you to:

  • Avoid relying on unfamiliar makeup artists

  • Pack the right products with confidence

  • Recreate your wedding makeup wherever you are in the world

It’s also perfect for brides who simply want to feel in control and confident doing their own makeup on such an important day.


Why Choose a Professional Bridal Makeup Lesson Instead of YouTube?

Online tutorials can be overwhelming and often don’t apply to your face, colouring or wedding style.
This lesson gives you:

  • Professional bridal makeup expertise

  • Personalised guidance

  • Techniques designed specifically for you

  • Confidence you can’t get from watching videos

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Absolutely. My bridal makeup lessons focus on natural, timeless wedding makeup that enhances your features rather than masking them. The aim is for you to look like yourself — just beautifully polished and camera-ready.

  • The lesson lasts 1.5 hours, which allows enough time to go through each step carefully, practise techniques, and ask questions — without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

  • Yes. I’ll share professional tips to help your wedding makeup last from morning to evening, including skin prep, layering techniques and setting methods — ideal for long wedding days and emotional moments.

  • Not necessarily. We’ll start by looking at the makeup you already own and how to use it effectively. If there are any gaps, I’ll make personalised recommendations so you only invest in products that truly suit you and your wedding look.

  • This is a hands-on lesson. I’ll demonstrate techniques on one side of your face, and you’ll apply the makeup on the other side, so you gain real confidence doing your own wedding makeup.

  • The lesson takes place in your own home, creating a relaxed environment and making it easier to recreate your look on your actual wedding morning.

  • No — this is different from a traditional bridal makeup trial. Instead of having your makeup done for you, this lesson teaches you how to apply and recreate your wedding makeup yourself with professional guidance.

  • Ideally, book your bridal makeup lesson a few months before your wedding. This gives you time to practise and source any recommended products, so everything feels familiar and stress-free on the day.

  • You can book your bridal makeup lesson by getting in touch via the website. Once booked, we’ll arrange a time that works best for you.

“My bridesmaid and I had a makeup lesson with Nicola as I am getting married abroad. I couldn't recommend her highly enough, she really listens to what you want and the lesson felt totally personalised to our needs. 
Nicola is extremely knowledgeable and gave us so many great recommendations and tips. She was patient and took her time to demonstrate which products to apply and how without it feeling overwhelming. We both feel really confident now about doing our own makeup for the wedding. It was also a really fun and relaxing experience.”
