Meet Andra
HAIR & MAKEUP ARTIST BASED IN HERTFORDSHIRE
Hi, I’m Andra! With over 10 years of experience as a professional hair and makeup artist, I’ve been fortunate to work with countless brides, helping them feel radiant and confident on one of the most special days of their lives. My passion for beauty stretches back even further, and it’s this lifelong love for artistry that drives me to create looks that are as unique as the people I work with.
My signature style is all about natural, enhancing makeup and effortlessly styled hair that complements your features, personality, and bridal vision so that you feel like your best self on your wedding day.
“As well as being fantastic at what she does, Andra is also just such a wonderful person to have as part of our day! She is warm, kind, and so patient.... My makeup was something I was really nervous about, as I’m very minimal and particular, but I needn’t have worried. It stayed all day and night through hours of dancing!”
More about Andra
What must-have products can be found in your kit?
Some of my top favorites include Hourglass blushers for a radiant glow, Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks for their gorgeous shades, and By Terry powders for a flawless finish. When it comes to hair, a good wax spray is a must-have, and I love using Moroccan Oil or Color Wow texture sprays to create beautiful, long-lasting styles!
What’s one of your career highlights?
With a background in the Fashion Industry and a love for all things Bridal, being featured in big magazines like Vogue, Tatler, Hello Magazine, Daily Mail, Elle, and L’Officiel have been major highlights! Working backstage at London, Paris, and Milan Fashion Weeks, and being a regular backstage at the National Television Awards are also some of my ultimate career highlights.
What do you love about doing weddings?
I love being a bridal stylist because there’s nothing more rewarding than being part of someone’s special day. Knowing I’ve helped bring their vision to life and made them feel amazing on one of the most important days of their life is an incredible feeling. It’s such an honour to play a role in creating those unforgettable moments.
What's your top tip for brides-to-be?
A good skincare regime prior to the wedding is absolutely crucial in how your makeup will look on the big day. I can’t stress this enough! Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated on the day. Having clean and dry hair is also essential to achieve a great hairstyle!
Bridal Preview Location
Andra holds all bridal previews at her home in Hemel Hempstead. In some instances, she may be able to provide an on-location preview service for an additional surcharge plus travel fees.
“I was thrilled to have Andra with me on the morning of my wedding day in Italy. She is a true pro, super talented and such a lovely person. I was nervous about my hair and makeup but Andra went above and beyond to understand exactly what I wanted and still make me look like me. I loved my half-up-half-down hair, which stayed in place all day and night. Andra also did a beautiful job of my mum and mother-in-law’s makeup.”
