There’s a lot of legal waffle below, which is required to protect me and you. But in principle I operate on the basis of honesty and fairness and ask that my clients do the same.
By proceeding to book by way of paying a deposit, you accept that you are entering into a contract and you agree to be bound by the conditions outlined below.

Deposit & Payment
A £100 deposit will reserve your event date. This deposit is non-refundable.
If the number of the party requiring makeup services changes, the final balance will be adjusted accordingly.
I require the final balance to be paid 14 days before your event, I will prepare and send an invoice with payment details.
Accepted methods of payment include cash or BACS.
Bridal Trials
Bridal makeup trial costs are to be paid, using the methods outlined in Deposit & Payment.
If you wish to proceed with a trial, I will prepare and send an invoice with payment details. The deposit for your booking for your event is non-refundable.
Bridal trials/deposits include the cost of the makeup trial for only the bride. If you would like makeup trials for additional members of the bridal party, these need to be booked at an additional cost of £70 and paid for in advance of the trial.
Prices
The pricing quoted at the time of your booking will be honoured and any general price changes between the time of booking and your wedding date will not affect your agreed fee for the services booked.
Travel fees: travel will be charges at .45p per mile from my home address and outlined at the time of the booking – any parking/toll/congestion charges will be added to the final balance.
Accommodation charges if applicable will be discussed and should be paid by the client directly.
After confirmation of booking, should you wish to add more members of the bridal party, please discuss with me in advance so timings can be adjusted for the day. Depending on numbers, I may also require a second makeup artist to work alongside me. This will require additional time to arrange and the pricing may vary.
Any additional cost will be recalculated in the final balance due 30 days before the wedding day. When full payment of the wedding day is received and the size the bridal party reduces on the day, this fee will be non-refundable.
Cancellations
In the unfortunate event you have to cancel your booking, please inform me as soon as possible. All cancellations will incur the following cancellation fees.
In case of cancellation, the deposit is non-refundable.
In case of cancellation within 14 days of the event, the client is liable to pay the full amount as was to be carried out in services by me due to the likelihood of other work not being undertaken as a result of the booking.
Cancellations by me due to circumstances including, but not limited to, problems affecting my performance of obligations where no other suitable alternative can be arranged, a full refund of the deposit will be given to the client. No further compensation will be offered. If the booking is directly affected by circumstances beyond my control including but not limited to weather conditions, safety reasons, where possible I will endeavour to rectify such situations, however, no compensation will be offered on my part. It is advisable for the client to take out wedding or event insurance to cover you against these situations.
Use of Photography
I will always check verbally if the client is happy for me to post a photo On social media platforms. The make-up artist will never post a photo before the event to avoid spoiling any surprises for guests of the event.
Unless otherwise specified by the client any digital photos taken at the trial or on the wedding day may be added to my website and/or social media. If a professional photographer is present, I will ask permission to obtain any images to be used for the website and credit the photographer.
Clients are permitted to use photographs they take (or taken by their photographer) of me during the application of their makeup, providing I am credited as their Make-Up Artist listing my website (www.kirstiepurse.co.uk). In the case of social media my facebook page or instagram account should be tagged (@kirstiepurse/@kirstpurse_makeupartist).
Products
Prior to the trial, it is the responsibility of the client to inform me of any known skin sensitivity to products or concerns that may affect the use of any equipment or products; all details are treated as confidential. This includes but is not limited to sensitivities, allergies and medical conditions.
Where possible, I will choose products that should suit your skin type according to the information provided. Everyone’s skin is different and it’s possible to be allergic to anything. The products selected and agreed upon during the trial will be the products that will be used on the day of your wedding.
I am not liable for any adverse reactions to products used and cannot be held liable for any losses that are incurred due to adverse reactions to products used. If you or any member of your party requires a patch test for any products, this can be arranged and charged according to an agreed fee.
