Well its 2016 already, I can hardly believe how quickly last year has flown by!!
It was such a wonderful year for myself Jillian Elizabeth, I was so lucky to be involved in so many wonderful brides big day. It is such a pleasure for me to do make-up for all of my brides, I just love seeing the look on a brides face when she first looks in the mirror, ready to walk down the isle and get married.
Here is a small selection of some of my beautiful brides and their bridal parties.
Katie's Wedding
Katie's wedding was extra special for me as she was marrying Ross, my friend Erica's brother. I have been friends with Erica since high school and it was so lovely to see her brother and his fiance so happy!
Here is some feedback from one of Katie's beautiful brides maids.
"Brilliant make-up done by a true professional. The airbrush make-up was flawless and lasted all day and well into the night. Would highly recommend."
The photographer that captured these pictures of Katie's Wedding is the talented Derek Christie.
Charlotte's Wedding
This wedding was so lovely as I had met the Bride Charlotte before doing her make-up when she was a Bridesmaid at her friend Leoni's wedding, now the tables had turned and Leoni was a bridesmaid for Charlotte.
Charlotte is just such a beautiful and sensational bride. Here is what she had to say about her make-up:
"Make-up was great and lasted the whole day. The airbrush was light and made my skin look flawless."
"Make-up was great and lasted the whole day. The airbrush was light and made my skin look flawless."
Charlotte's photographs were taken by the amazing Kirsty at Memento Studios. Have a look at her website and blog for more of her sensational work.
Cath's Wedding
I just love this brides classic and natural make-up look but with a splash of colour. The green eyes really compliment Caths gorgeous hair and creamy skin. Here is what Cath had to say about her make-up:
"Dear Jillian, I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing such an amazing job with all of our make-up on my wedding day. Everyone was complimenting me, especially at the end of the night cause it still looked so great, even after a fair amount of tears. Love Cath"
These gorgeous photographs were taken by my very talented friend Karen at Karen Jackson Photography.
Vicki's Wedding
Wow!!! This is the first word that comes to mind when I look at this picture! Vicki just looks sensational. Also she tells me that this is her favourite picture of herself from the day! I am not surprised as she is so beautiful here!!
Here is what Vicki had to say about her experience:
"I suffer from eczema so I have to be very careful when choosing makeup and I believed I was fated to do my own makeup for my wedding. I found Jillian at a wedding event where she explained to me the benefits of airbrush makeup and a few months later we arranged a trial. Jillian loves to pamper her potential brides but most of all she made feel so comfortable and relaxed (the cake and daiquiri may have helped) At the end of the trial I felt and looked amazing! I deliberately chose a morning trial to see how it would last and it was still going strong by midnight the same day and no sign of irritation! "
"Jillian also did my three bridesmaids makeup on the wedding day which survived many tears through the ceremony and speeches and even included my little 5 year old niece with a spot of lip gloss. My now husband keeps saying he loved my eyes on the day. Thank you again Jillian!"
These sensational photographs were taken by the talented team over at Orange Lemur Photography.
Katherine's Wedding
The gorgeous Katherine just looks so beautiful and natural here, she wanted a classic timeless look for her make-up and I think I have achieved it!!
"Dear Jillian
Thank you so much for your wonderful make-up! You got it just perfectly right and I felt so confident that I didn't look in the mirror once the whole day. The girls loved their make-up too and looked beautiful. Regards Katherine."

Adele's Wedding
I just love these pictures of Adele taken by Simon's Studio. She just looks so sensational!
This is what Adele had to say about her airbrush make-up:
"Jillian Elizabeth thank you so much for my wedding make up! It was beautiful and lasted all day and night!! I would definitely recommend you to everyone. The whole bridal party were happy with their make-up. Thank you again xx"
Adele's make-up was glowing and natural with a soft gold subtle smokey eye.
Lee-Anne's Wedding
Lee-Anne's make-up was so natural and timeless which is my favorite type of bridal make-up to do. She is such a beautiful bride and it was so great to be with her on her wedding day.
I am so happy that Lee-Anne was so delighted with her make-up, here is some of her feedback:
"Jillian did our wedding make up and wow, what a great result. I trusted her assurance it would stay on all day and from beginning to end it did. We all felt amazing!! There was no need to look in the mirror, not one touch up was needed. So lovely to know on the day that you have one less thing to worry about. And let's face it, every girl wants to look and feel amazing on their wedding day. Jillian will make sure you do!!!"
These amazing pictures were captured by the talented Gordon at Frameworks Photography in Dundee.
