FRANCES DONE BRIDE
Hello Brides to be... This is me, Fran, single mother of one beautiful little warrior child and professional makeup wiz working in the bridal and fashion industry. I have 16 years experience in my field after graduating from the famous London College of Fashion with a First Class honors degree in Makeup, I travelled the world perfecting my skills on many high-end campaigns, training under the best artists in the industry! I have done many a backstage at fashion week, London, Paris and Milan for multiple seasons as well as working across lots of fashion brands and publications. I am available for all your Makeup and Hair wedding services! I love any form of Art and Luxury Beauty. I'm a notorious Tauruean and total perfectionist! I like all the pretty things in life, as well as taking a very grounded and earth loving approach to everthing I do. I'm here to make all your beauty needs come true. Working in fashion I take a very tailored approach to makeup and hair, not one product and look fits all. I am keen to get to know you and if you trust me, design a look that I feel will truly elevate you into the best version of yourself on your wedding day! I started my bridal business after seeing too many dated bridal looks filling my feed. I am for the modern, fashion conscious bride who doesn't want to feel overloaded on their wedding day. I want to see that skin in all it's glory, I use lots of products but there's no drag techniques being used over here! My kit is really heavy..I don't like decanting so you can see what I am using and have a little makeup lesson at the same time. I only use the best products in my kit from Tom Ford, Charlotte Tilbury and Nars to name a few of my favourites! I like to be on hand throughout the process for any other skin and makeup questions, offering a unique experience to all my wonderful brides. So much so that we will probably become friends at the end of it! :-)

Madeleine D. , married on 01/09/2020 5.0 I found it so difficult finding make up artists for my wedding as it seemed that everyone only knew how to do full glam as if you're going night clubbing! Then i found Fran and oh my goodness, she is amazing! She made me feel so beautiful and fashiony (if that's a word) and used the most amazing products on my skin. I had a very natural glowy look - i don't know how she did it, but she made it look like i had barely any make up on. The make-up lasted the whole day and i was still receiving compliments in the evening! The products used were luxurious and left my skin feeling so soft. I honestly wish i had Fran to do my make up and skincare every day because she's magical. If you're looking for beautiful boho, natural, fashiony editorial style. Thank-you Fran for making my big day so special by taking away all the worries i had of looking good.
Kirsty , married on 04/06/2022 5.0 A Bride's Dream In a world of huge brows, contouring and a daunting amount of makeup brushes required to apply a simple eyeshadow, this tomboy knew the task of my bridal makeup had to be devoted to someone other than me. With a sea of tik tok and insta tutorials at my disposal, I was completely lost and overwhelmed at the potential looks and the options I should consider.. Not really knowing a thing about beauty products and skin tone, I knew I had to look closer to home for advice. A family friend recommended Fran and from our very first contact she was polite and genuinely interested in what I needed and what she could do for ME.. She was keen to understand my style, theme and my vision. We had a test run 3 months prior to the wedding, which I appreciated because I was so nervous that I wouldn't like looking "bridal". As the professional, she guided my makeup choices and the test run was a success. The day was even better. My makeup was flawless, despite the MASSIVE angry spot which appeared the morning prior. Fran arrived early on the day and was a calming influence after my hairdresser arrived late. Fortunately for me, Fran is an expert in her craft and was able to apply my makeup flawlessly while my head was being tugged around by the hairdresser. With the most perfect dress to be showcased, my makeup was absolute fire! I've recommended Fran to absolutely everyone I know getting married in need of makeup services.. (She does hair too, but I had already organised this prior to our contact) If you're considering a professional makeup artist for your wedding day, you HAVE to consider Fran. You will not regret it.
