Passion for Bridal

Sigrid Shaw is a makeup artist and hair stylist based in Fontainebleau, Randburg. Her passion for bridal comes from just loving seeing brides happy and secure on their wedding days, and absolutely loving the end result: AMAZING PICTURES. And also, happy hearts…

How is your process of creation?

I usually start with getting inspo pics, the colour scheme, the style of dress and wedding theme from the bride. We then work on a plan in the bridal trial, combining the inspo pics and what suits the bride. Sometimes brides are unsure of what they want, and want to try two hair looks or a light and a bright lip. If you are uncertain about which hair style would suit you, perhaps book a two-look trial.

What inspires you?

Natural skin, bright eyes, sculpted cheekbones and lip stains. I love all makeup styles – dramatic, theme makeup, natural and all looks in between. My speciality though, is a look in between natural and dramatic, for those brides who would love to look ‘made up but not unlike themselves’. I do love the opportunity to get a little more dramatic though – I am a sucker for super smoky, smouldering eyes.
