Special Occasion Make-up

by Daniel Sandler's Makeup Artistry

Price: Price on Request

Stockist: Daniel Sandler

Best for: A special occasion

Sarah Brock, who is Daniel Sandler’s Creative Director, came to the office before I had a big night out. Very lovely and chatty she instantly put me at ease; well you don’t have your make-up applied at work everyday! As she unpacked her kit, I realised she meant business, Sarah had everything a girl could want – two pots full of brushes, foundations, eyeshadows and lipsticks in every shade, she even had masses of false lashes. First, we discussed where I was heading (out for dinner) and then the look I wanted (smoky eye, nude lip, please). The make-up looked flawless afterwards, she used my favourite blusher, Daniel Sandler’s Watercolour, £10.77, the smoky eye was subtle (she would have ramped it up if I was heading out partying) and she even applied clusters of eylure lashes to my eyes. The attention to detail Sarah gave was second to none, which is probably why she is a must-book make-up artist for so many weddings. This service would be my first choice for a big night out like a birthday. I have started recommending Daniel’s service (he personally trains each of the make-up artists, so you can guarantee the quality) to friends who are getting married next year too.
