In this issue of Community Update, we are overjoyed to select Colleen Davidson Artistry with our Commitment to Excellence Award.
Colleen Davidson is a multi-award-winning make-up artist and stylist for bridal, commercial, fashion and film/tv. Selected as the Hair & Make-Up Specialist of the Year 2022 for the Scottish Hair & Beauty Awards 2022, Colleen can provide dream wedding bespoke beauty services to whole bridal parties. Based near to Glasgow, Scotland, Colleen can travel to weddings booked anywhere in Scotland, from historic Edinburgh to the stunning Scottish Highlands.
We had a cosy chat with Colleen to find out what brides can expect on wedding days,
“I offer a fully-bespoke service where clients can contact me for individual quotes makeup/hair/beauty services for weddings. For weddings, I provide trials well in advance of the big day, services on the wedding/celebration morning, as well as beauty treatments in the lead up to the event. I cater for large groups as well as elopement services for just the bride herself.
I love the atmosphere of a wedding morning, and am there to help everyone feel their absolute best, rather than being one of many suppliers asking questions and adding to the stress levels! On the day I will travel to the bride’s preferred location, ready to start at an agreed time, and will stay with them and the bridal party until they are ready to leave, providing any final touches (or tissues!) they might need.
If required, I can also be on hand after the ceremony for touch ups, or if they’d like to update their makeup for the evening reception – perhaps a smokier eye or a vampy bold lip to amp-up the night-time look, or a softer, more relaxed hairstyle to dance the night away!”
Colleen maintains that beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin, and make-up in particular is about enhancing natural beauty, not masking it. Her glowing testimonials for clients speak volumes, like this one:
“I have to tell you how much I LOVED my makeup. I felt natural and confident all day and it lasted all day, through all the sweating of the ceilidh. Each time I look at the photos I just keep thinking about how great the hair and veil turned out, it all just met every expectation and my vision.”
Colleen’s work has been notably featured in The Herald, The Glasgow Times and Your Scottish Wedding Magazine and has worked with high-profile clients such as Stella McCartney Ltd, among others.
