Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - March/April 2025 (Issue 109)

BLEND LIKE A PRO Melinda from Makeovers by Melinda is marking an impressive milestone this year—25 years in business! As a talented bridal hairstylist and make-up artist, she has spent years sharing her expertise through countless make-up lessons. With a wealth of experience, she has empowered women of all ages to enhance their natural beauty by teaching them how to apply products that truly highlight their features. While Melinda strongly encourages brides to hire a make-up artist for that flawless look on their wedding day, many find her make-up lessons especially useful for their honeymoon. After all, mastering the art of applying make-up that suits their individual style is a valuable skill for any occasion.
