She’s fully trained in a wide range of styles, from high-fashion to Hollywoodinspired glamour and natural make-up, specialising in making brides look and feel like the best version of themselves on their wedding day, whatever their age, gender, or style. Rosie’s studio offers a cosy and relaxed environment to enjoy a make-up trial before the big day. “I offer one-to-one lessons for clients who want to learn how to do their own make-up which is perfect for those getting married abroad,” she tells us. Winter is the perfect season to wear warm tones and of course, a festive red lipstick whether it be a classic pillar-box shade, a flattering berry colour, or a warm terracotta look. Jewel tones are also great for the winter season with a touch of emerald or sapphire applied on the eyelids which can make them pop. www.facebook.com/rosiepickupmakeup www.instagram.com/rosiepickupmakeup NAWAR RAICHURA AWARDED MAKEUP ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2023 Reading-based multi-award-winning make-up artist Nawar Raichura has recently been awarded the Makeup Artist of the Year 2023 by the British Association in Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (BABTAC) for the second year in a row.
