marie hickey &yvonne maheryour dream team for wedding beautywhen makeup artist yvonne maher and hair stylist marie

Hickey were booked for the same wedding, they hit it off

instantly. bonded by their love of beauty and banter, they

decided to offer their services to brides as a team and a

perfect marriage was born.

marie and yvonne are dedicated to making sure your

wedding day is fun for everyone, so their skills and per-

sonalities are in perfect balance. in advance of your wed-

ding day, both of them will run trials to make sure that the

makeup, hairstyle and tan they choose complement your

skin type and colouring. the dress is the deciding factor in

creating your look. they will look at photographs of your

dress and create a look that highlights its beauty.

but the fun really begins on the day itself – and it doesn’t

stop until you climb into your car to be brought to the

church. Marie arrives first, at about 8am, a full hour be-

fore any salon opens. while you and your bridal party

loll around in your pyjamas, she will begin setting your

hair in rollers. all you have to do is concentrate on soak-

ing up the atmosphere and enjoying the company of

your family and friends. it’s your reward for all the hard

work you’ve put in.

When Marie has finished, Yvonne will start applying

makeup. She prepares your skin with soothing moistur-

iser, flash balm or primer. Then it’s time for the founda-

tion. the dior foundation and airbrush makeup yvonne

uses is guaranteed to last all day, without even a touch-

up. makeup application lasts 30 minutes for bridesmaids

and 45 minutes for the bride – the woman of the hour.

When Yvonne is finished, Marie takes over again and

finishes off your hairstyle. Marie and Yvonne create a

relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of banter and laughter. they

will take the word stress out of your vocabulary. with their

teamwork approach, they’ll coordinate your look and make

sure it’s flawless.

Marie and Yvonne don’t do flapping brides – all you’ll have to

worry about is who will open the champagne. they can turn

their hand to anything – adjusting hairpieces, pinning flowers

and zipping up dresses. they’ve even been known to drive

the mother of the bride to the ceremony. if you’re still feeling

panicky as you leave the house, yvonne uses a yon-ka aroma-

therapy stray that never fails to calm the nerves. you’ve done

all the hard work – it’s time to relax and leave it to the profes-

sionals. and you can rest assured that they’ll get you to the

chapel on time.

marie and yvonne will bring the wow factor to your wedding.

you will glide up the aisle glowing in the knowledge that you

are looking your most glamorous. the key ingredient marie

and yvonne bring to your look is passion for what they do.

“it’s an amazing job for marie and myself,” says yvonne. “every

house brings something different, laughter, tears, drama, love

and happiness.”
