INFORMATION

About me
I am a trained makeup artist and hair stylist at Mariart School of makeup and hair. I have several years of experience in weddings, balls and private events. I have also done work for GANT, BIKBOK, Make up Store, VeckoRevyn, Tove Lo's music video "Talking Body", the film "Tjuvheder", Miss Universe, TV4, SmartShake, Café Opera, the TV producers' awards ceremony, the Football Gala and various fashion shows. I also work with special effects and have created monsters at both Café Opera and Publik.
I work throughout the Mälardalen region with roots in Västerås, where I can also receive consultations.
Services & Prices
I am incredibly grateful to receive so many requests, but unfortunately this means that I only accept the bridal package during the peak wedding season (so not just makeup or just hairstyling).
Are you getting married abroad or a little further away?
No problem, I've been to work all the way from Mexico
to Sweden's "abroad" Visby and to Åre and Luleå in the north.

Bride's to-do's
The time before the wedding
Trial makeup
Book a makeup artist you trust. It's worth spending a little extra on the makeup as the quality of different makeup artists varies. You can't afford a makeup mistake on your wedding day as the result can be very different in pictures. And the picture is the only thing you have left of the wedding, apart from the memory of course. Go all out on the makeup and use recommendations from friends who have the same taste as you.
Do your research and see what you like, the skills of makeup artists are just like in any other industry, very varied.
Trial set
A tip is to go to Pinterest and check out all the beautiful pictures, here you can find as much inspiration as you want in all possible categories. Feel free to bring reference pictures with you so that the hairdresser or stylist understands you. Figure out together how you will do with hair extensions and make sure you get a sustainable hairstyle.
Dye your hair
It's good to start this in time to get it exactly how you want it for the wedding. And that you have time to get a little touch up before you get married. Don't go through any major transformation before you get married, the only risk is that it will feel strange and unnatural.
Eyebrows
Let your make-up artist pluck and shape your eyebrows and keep it as natural as possible. Here you also have the opportunity to save up for the wedding if you have eyebrows that need to grow out.
Facial treatment
You can book an appointment with a good skin therapist, who can help you remove impurities and instead give you a real glow in your skin before the big day.
Spray Tan
Ignore sunbathing in a solarium because it damages the skin. In that case, invest in trying a natural spray tan to see how it feels. Feel free to do a test spray tan before the make-up trial and use very little on your face or none at all.
Eyelash extensions
If you have decided to get eyelash extensions before the wedding, you should try the first time about 3 weeks before the wedding, as some people may have an allergic reaction to the glue. Use common sense and follow recommendations, so that you find someone who can give you nice lashes that fit properly. Remember to fill in your lashes a few days before the wedding so that you have an even result without gaps.
Nails
Don't forget to book an appointment to get nice nails. Regardless of whether you are going to do extensions or just a manicure, I recommend that you do this the same week as the wedding. Choose a classic manicure that will look beautiful in pictures even in a few years. But remember, you do exactly what you want.
Food
Stress can become noticeable before the wedding and food can easily be forgotten. Eat lots of vegetables, fruit and carrots. It actually makes you look better.
Consultation
Usually a weekday
17:00
Once you have decided to choose me for your wedding, we will book a consultation together. During the consultation, we will meet at my home and go through the thoughts and ideas you have for the wedding. I will do a make-up trial and a hair style on you, so that we have the best conditions for the desired result when the big day arrives. The time required is usually between 1.5-2 hours and for this occasion you are welcome to bring inspiration pictures with you. During the consultation, we will meet and get to know each other, you will get a feel for my artistic expression and we will make a schedule for the big day. The consultation is booked about 2 - 4 weeks before the wedding.
SEK 1,500 is paid at the consultation, which is then deducted from the total amount.
Your big day
The magic date
08.00
You wake up after a good night's sleep (or have you been able to sleep at all?!). I come to the place you have chosen to start your big day. Whether it is in a hotel room, at your home, at church or at the party venue, you don't have to go anywhere to get fixed up. Unless you want to. We usually start in the morning around 8:30 am and usually stay until lunch at 12:30 pm depending on what has been requested. We start with the hair and in the meantime you have time to eat breakfast and try to relax. The makeup is applied after the hair is done, or after a bridesmaid/friend has been styled. The schedule is set based on your wishes and I ensure that we use the time to the fullest. It is common for the photographer to arrive already during the preparations to document this expectant time of day.
