“Rachel and her team over the course of 3 years now, for all work party events. Each event has been themed from 80's prom to jungle fever to 1920's flappers, and Rachel has executed all of these exceptionally, especially in tight time! Not only is she a fab MUA, she is also a delight to work with - would highly recommend!”

“I hired Make-up In Orangeries for my wedding and I definitely made the right choice! Rachel did my makeup as well as my mother’s and maid of honor’s. Not only is Rachel professional, fun, and puts you at ease with her lovely personality, but she’s also a fantastic makeup artist! I highly recommend her for any event you have coming up. I know I will be using Make-up in Orangeries again!”

Our FAQs prepared carefully for you

So, you’re engaged to be married – how exciting!

HOW DO I BOOK YOU?

Email info@makeupinorangeries.com for our availability or fill out the enquiry form on our contact page. If our senior artist is unavailable we have a large team of highly experienced artists to suit your budget. See pricing and services for more info. To secure a booking we’ll need a deposit of £60 and we’ll be in touch to organise your trial. We get booked up quickly though so email early to avoid disappointment!

WHEN DO I NEED TO PAY?

You’ll need to pay a deposit of £60 for the wedding date and once you’ve secured a date with your artist for the trial, we will send you an invoice for the trial. If you decided to go ahead and book us for your wedding, we will invoice you 50% of the total booking.

WHAT IF YOU GET ILL ON THE DAY?

We have never missed a wedding before, but in the rare event that we are unable to make it at the last minute, one of my Make-up in Orangeries colleagues is always on hand to step in to save the day.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANCEL?

The deposit is non refundable, however, if you decide to cancel six weeks before the event we will not charge for the final balance.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE TRIAL?

Preferably held during the day for the best light, the trial is where you get to know your artist and create your look together. There’s no time limit and you can try a few different hair and make-up looks if you’re unsure what you want. The artist will stay with you until you’re happy (we won’t be offended if you don’t like the first look!).

IF I DON'T LIKE THE MAKE-UP AT MY TRIAL, DO I STILL HAVE TO GO AHEAD?

No, we’ll refund you the £60 you secured the date with. There is no trial refund. We’re sure you’ll love it though, and the artist will work with you to create the perfect look for you.

DO YOU DO MAKE-UP FOR HEN DOS AND OTHER EVENTS?

Yes! We are available for hen dos, parties, proms, bar/bat mitzvahs and birthday parties. See our packages page for details.

IS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO DO TO PREPARE?

You should stay really well hydrated in the weeks before the wedding and get into a good skincare regime. We can recommend some good products for you at the trial based on your skin type. If you book any of our packages we include three free facials at the Light Salon Harvey Nichols. This will make all the difference to your make-up on the day.

IS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO DO TO PREPARE?
