Festive Season is here. Merry Christmas to everyone from Makeup by Hania.

November has been a busy month for Weddings at Friars Carse. I still have one more to do there in 2019 and it's an elopement so I am looking forward to that, such a nice way to end the year. Last Saturday was the Beautiful Lyndsay's special day and the weather couldn't be better. It was a very cold and crisp day. It was perfect in every way. Lyndsay opted for a very natural eye look, with fresh and glowy skin and topped off with the lovely Charlotte Tilbury Dancefloor Pri

Should you have a Bridal Makeup Preview or not?

Auchen Castle Wedding July 2019

My first wedding of June 2019 was at the stunning GGS Yard Saturdays Bride was the beautiful Caitlin and her Bridal Party. Caitlin wanted a very natural makeup look so we created a soft neutral eye with pink blush and a slighlty deeper lip using Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk.

I have done a few weddings at Mabie House Hotel and I just love it there. Nestled in a beautiful setting in the forest this is a stunning venue. I was so excited to hear that Mabie House are expanding for Weddings. New for 2019 is the Garden Pavilion. A purpose built venue for weddings all year round. I can't wait to see this space when it's completed in August 2019. Thank you to Abi for sending these beautiful images of her Wedding Day last year at Mabie House. Images by

On Saturday I was back at Auchen Castle for my second wedding there this year with the beautiful Vairi. Vairi and her family were all so lovely and Vairi's dress was one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen. The detail on the dress was stunning and it suited Vairi perfectly. Vairi opted for glowing skin with a subtle smokey eye and gel winged liner for definition. I used Armani Luminous Silk Foundation mixed with Beauty Pie Illuminating Drops for a dewy base with

Well, what can I say but wow! This is the front cover of Tie The Knot Scotland Magazine, and the makeup is my work..... When I was asked about doing the shoot back in January I was so excited, but also quite nervous. I have done a lot of photoshoots but they are usually ones I have arranged myself. The shoot took place at the end of January at Broadscope Studios in Glasgow. The brief for the shoot was kitcsh but cool and the dresses and accessories were absoultely stunning

When it comes to Wedding Makeup (and makeup in general) I get asked a lot of questions and decided to write a blog with some of the most common questions. 1. What foundation do you recommend for mature skin? My personal favourite is definitely Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation. I wear this myself and it's a favourite of Mother of the Bride/Grooms. It's more of a tinted moisturiser and is lovely and dewy. I would avoid a matte finish Foundation or anything too heavy

Todays blog is all about the cost of Wedding Makeup. Lets be honest, Weddings can be expensive. There's no denying that the list of things required for weddings add up quickly. I want to break down Wedding Makeup costs (p.s its going to be a long blog). So what are you paying for when you hire a Professional Makeup Artist for your wedding? Let me start with a breakdown of the products I use in my kit. I will use Saturday's beautiful bride at GGS Yard for an example of wh

My second last visit to Auchen Castle of 2018 was on the 1st December for the lovely Sophia.

With 3 weddings left in October and a handful in November and December, it's safe to say that Wedding Season has come to an end. I would like to thank each and every one of the Brides and their Parties that have chosen me as their Makeup Artist on their special day. I truly appreciate it and I feel I have made new friends along the way. It means a lot to me and I can't wait to meet all the future Brides who have booked in with me. Next year looks set to be evern busier for

It has been a busy few months with weddings and trials. I highly recommend a trial, although it's not essential, they do help to get an idea of what look you would like for your wedding day and to trial a few different looks if you require. A trial lasts up to 1.5 hours and can take place either in your home or hotel or at my home. I recommend a trial about 2-3 months before the wedding day. Trials tend to be fitted in on a weekday due to being a busy time of year for Wedd
