make-up in Kent recommendations

gerbera14, 20 January, 2009 at 19:44 Posted on Planning 0 18

Hi,

I'm getting married in July and have started looking at wedding make-up services, but I'm slightly shocked at how much they are! Does anyone have any recommendations in the North Kent area (Dartford/Greenhithe) that won't cost me a small fortune?

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Cat, that would be great. I'm getting married in Eynsford, what about you Bluewater? I live right next to Bluewater as well (I'm assuming you do!), we are probably neighbours!

    Really? the sales people told you? i can see why they would, but that's a bit unfair on her. i can't imagine she actually spends much time there though! (especially now it's falling down... there's loads of scaffolding outside!)

    PS for anyone being nosey on this thread, she is a pop star in a high profile band with a good few number 1s. why on earth she lives here and not in some glam part of london, i don't know...

    Hi fellow Kent girls, haven't got any good make up advice as my hairdresser has a lady that is doing mine, just wanted to say hi as I am also very near you, I live in Dartford! (Oh and Cat26, I think we've spoken before as I seem to remember we may be venue twins?! Correct me if I'm wrong though!) Also my parents live in Sidcup and I grew up there so very familiar with the area - in fact still consider it home! (someone did mention Sidcup I'm sure)

    Bluewater - I am now very intrigued, had no idea we had celebrities in our vicinity, can you give me another hint??!

    our resident celeb is in a 5 piece girl band, originating from pop stars the rivals and has bright red hair. that should completely give it away for you now!!! her house is falling down - massive subsidence apparently. thank god mine seems ok (for the moment....)

    No way!!! Yep, completely know who you mean, wow I can't believe I haven't seen her around Bluewater or anything! Have you ever seen her around your close? I would be a nightmare, constantly looking out for her! ?

    I'm good thanks, just trying not to get too excited about the wedding at the moment as it still feels ages away, and also I am right back into my diet, have set myself a goal of losing 2 stone by September (I actually need to do that as I'll be starting to look for dresses then!) Hope you're all good too - yours will be here before you know it!

    Haha no tbh i've never seen her around and i've been living here 2yrs in july. i did think about starting up a neighbourhood watch and knocking on her door....

    i *should* be concentrating more on my diet, i've got my first fitting on 3rd june. haven't got a particular amount i want to lose by then, but want to try and improve the bingo wings and lose a bit round my face and middle. the last 6 months have flown by already - it still seems so far away though, and a little bit surreal....!

    Hi girls,

    i live in Dartford but am from Swanley! My cousin recommended virgin Vie. The consultant i have spoken to charges £40 for trial for bride & £40 on the day and £20 per bridesmaid.

    It's mad how many of us live in the same area!!!! Small world x

    Hello there!!! ?

    I am living on Knights Manor Way estate off St Vincents Road?

    Not too far from you actually!

    It's odd that there are so many of us from this area!!! x

    Hi Ladies, another local gal here!

    I got married 4, well no 5 years ago at Stone Castle. I had a makeup trial with Luci Rogers at MAC House of Fraser in Bluewater. I have no idea if she is still there but she also done private work. She charged £175 for the day and my makeup was fantastic!

    BTW I had NO idea Nicola from Girls Aloud lived on that estate but it would make sense as her boyfriend is from our way.

    I've seen her around a couple of times, but not lately, not surprised since her house is falling down!
