Introducing Olivia Lucy…

I’m Olivia (but you can call me Liv)—and I’m obsessed with weddings. The music, the vows, the flowers, the dress—you name it, I’m here for it. But more than anything, it’s the emotion of the day that gets me every time. Whether it's hearing about how you met your partner or imagining the moment you walk down the aisle, I get all the feels.

As a former 2022 bride myself, I get it. I know what it’s like to plan a wedding, juggle the details, and most importantly, how important it is to look and feel your absolute best on your big day. With 10 years of experience in bridal makeup, I’ve helped countless brides like you feel confident, gorgeous, and most importantly, worked together on your bridal make-up look, mixing my expertise with your personal preference on how you like to have your make-up. It’s my job to allow you to feel like you’re in the hands of a professional and with my decade of experience doing Bridal Make-up in Dorset, I focus on getting the balance right between what you will feel most comfortable in and what will flatter you the most.

So let’s work together to create a look that makes you feel the best version of yourself — because you deserve to feel incredible on your wedding day.

The booking process

I pride myself in offering a professional, friendly service from start to finish. I’m organised, understanding and welcoming. I love making my clients feel their very best and meeting new people!

I’m super organised and like to think I have a seamless booking process. I have a brand new feature on my website where you can easily find out your wedding package price. Please be aware all bookings must have atleast one bride and three adults (16+). If you’re happy with your quote and want to proceed, fill in the enquiry form below and it will ping me an e-mail of your wedding date. I will then reply wether I have availability or not.

To confirm your booking I require a £100 deposit that comes off the total. Your bridal trial is paid in the salon at the end of the trial (£80) and the remaining balance is due on the 1st of the month, the month before your wedding.

2026 Bridal Guide

Included with all bookings

After paying your deposit you will then receive your online bridal guide written by me with all my tips and tricks that I’ve learnt over the last 10 years doing Bridal Make-up. Every bride that reads this LOVES it! Please read it before your trial as it includes how to prepare and what to wear.

Retailed at £19.99, Olivia Lucy Bridal Guide 2025 is included when you book with me for your Bridal Make-up.

Olivia Lucy Bridal Guide 2025, 25 Handwritten pages of Bridal tips and tricks - to take you through your bridal trial, wedding planning and wedding morning.

You will then use my booking system to book yourself in a bridal trial at my salon in Corfe Mullen, and when we meet here we go over every tiny detail of your wedding. I will ensure I have the correct location on my Google Maps to follow, know where to park my car, if there’s a ticket machine and how long it will take me to get there! It couldn’t be easier. We will then do the make-up trial to find you your perfect look. We will go over the next day any areas you want to change or any areas of the look that you wanted to tweak. I encourage you to give me as much feedback as you can! I want you to be as fussy as possible! If you want to have any further trials these will be at a discounted price.

Your Bridal Look

I have a huge variety of clients and will adapt my style to fit your needs. I have clients from 16 all the way up to 80! I’m a massive believer in loving yourself and building up your confidence! I am your number one hype girl. It breaks my heart when clients are self-conscious about their looks so I absolutely love being able to help you help you feel a million bucks on your wedding day.

I myself am a chronic people pleaser so I know how British we can all be about being over polite when we’re not happy with a service so I love that everything I offer can be tweaked, I haven’t injected anyone or chopped their hair off so I love coaxing people out their comfort zone to tell me how they really want it to look and I love that we then find the perfect look together! It’s all about being honest and communicating, if you give me the respect of being honest during your appointment I will never, ever be offended - I love having your input as the customer is always right after all and we can find a harmony between my skills and your preference.

I am capable of doing everything from very natural to the most utmost glam looks. I think my level of expertise sits somewhere between soft glam and glam. I have the personal opinion that your wedding photos will look the best and be the most flattering when you allow me to apply a full face of make-up. If you are looking for a barely there look then I will, in this case, advise lash extensions, a good brow wax and tint, a skincare routine and a spray tan as I personally believe without some effort from yourself or your make-up you run the risk of looking washed out and ultimately by 7pm you will look like you have no make-up on.

I will always advise that regardless of what make-up look you want, good skincare is imperative. Not necessarily skin that is perfect but just well looked after. Even the most acne prone skin, if well looked after, can have beautiful make-up as hydration and plumpness is the key. Likewise, a more mature skin with fine lines and wrinkles, it’s crucial you need to be moisturised! If you need tips on skincare please get in touch. I offer facials and skin consultations in the salon.

If you don’t know what you want for your make-up please discuss this with me before your trial. Your trial should be an hour and a half of me applying make-up to your face, I am happy to discuss over the phone, on a zoom call, via email, whatapp- you name it, prior to your trial to go through any worries you’re having about how to choose inspiration photos. My aim is that by the morning of your trial you feel prepared and not clueless. Bridal make-up is a luxury investment and I want you to get every pennys worth of the experience so take the time to think what make-up you would like (or not like!). Theres tons more information in my guide so if you feel overwhelmed - don’t worry!
