About Blush! – makeup and hair in Kent & East Sussex
Hello! I’m Penny from Blush! Beauty and Hair based in Kent. I am so lucky to have such an amazing job working with brides to provide their perfect hair and wedding makeup as well as party guests, prom princesses and people preparing for photoshoots.
I work with clients across Kent and East Sussex, including Hastings and Tunbridge Wells. I often visit clients at their homes and wedding venues, but you’re always welcome at my studio in Kent too.
My goal is to make you feel beautiful and the best version of you, whether this is with an LVL treatment, a makeup masterclass, wedding makeup and hair, or styling for your hen do, a special occasion or photoshoot. I really do love seeing someone’s smiling face when I reveal their look.
My Experience
Whilst working as a writer and PR agent in the fashion, beauty and hair field, I developed a real love of experimentation with cosmetics and hair styling. I gained a deep appreciation of the difference that beautifully applied makeup and well styled hair can make, impacting on both a person’s appearance on and off camera and their self-confidence.
Wedding makeup and hair became a particular interest of mine after my wedding in 2011 and I have helped hundreds of brides feel as beautiful as I did on my big day since. Blush! was created in 2012 and I opened my studio near Hastings, East Sussex in 2017. I have since moved my studio to Kent, but still cover much of East Sussex too. If you’d like to find out if we can work together, please contact me and we can chat about your requirements.
I’m fully qualified in all areas of hair and makeup for special events and weddings, having completed makeup and hair styling courses at London’s Rouge Makeup School and Beauty Call and intensive lash training with the world-renowned Nouveau Lashes.
Penny, I am so grateful for the fantastic job you did with makeup for myself and my four bridesmaids. You were fabulous and my wedding makeup was perfect. I don’t have the best skin usually but you made my skin flawless, looking back at my photos I am so impressed. You did my makeup exactly how I wanted and it felt so natural, suiting my colouring and just how we discussed during the trial.
Why choose Blush! for your wedding makeup and hair?
If you want a highly experienced hair and makeup artist, who is dedicated to making your wedding day look perfect, you have come to the right person. I am quick to respond to queries, extremely organised and always on time.
I can also be as much a party of your wedding day morning or as unobtrusive as you would like me to be. I am happy to join in with chatter, games, photographs and even Marryoke(!) or remain in the background simply making your bridal party look beautiful.
Since working as a makeup artist, I have come to realise that beautiful skin is the most important component in any makeup, especially wedding makeup. Having a flawless but natural, glowing and fresh complexion has become my signature look.
