a gift from me to you
Free Touch up kit
As a special gift with my hair and makeup service for each of my brides and bridesmaids, I provide a thoughtfully curated touch-up kit designed to keep you looking flawless all day and night. With over 14 years of experience in film, TV, and theatre, I know just how important it is to have the right tools on hand for long-lasting beauty - especially on a day filled with happy tears, hugs, dancing and hours of celebration. This kit includes a mix of practical essentials and professional-quality items, so you’ll feel confident, comfortable, and photo-ready from the first look right up to the final dance.
Your Custom Makeup Bag
Each touch-up kit comes beautifully packed in a custom Ellie May makeup bag, a little keepsake you can use well beyond the wedding day. Designed with both style and practicality in mind, this bag holds all your touch-up essentials in one elegant place, so everything is easy to find when you need it most. It’s compact enough to slip into a bridesmaid’s handbag, yet spacious enough to carry everything you’ll need to stay picture-perfect from morning preparations through to the dance floor. It’s my way of giving you a piece of the professional experience to take with you.
Professional-Grade Makeup Brushes
To help you maintain your look like a pro, I include a couple of my favourite makeup brushes in your touch-up kit, the same quality I use in my own professional kit. These brushes are perfect for quick powder touch-ups, blending out creases, or adding a little extra blush or eyeshadow if needed throughout the day. Clean, compact, and easy to use, they’re a simple but powerful tool to help you feel fresh and flawless all event long.
Foldable Hair Comb
This clever little comb folds in half, making it compact enough to slip into any clutch or handbag, perfect for quick touch-ups on the go. Whether you need to smooth out a few flyaways after hugs or restyle windswept hair before photos, this sturdy, travel-friendly tool is there when you need it.
Personalised Touch-Up Products
To ensure your makeup stays seamless throughout the day, I include a few key product touch-ups in your kit, specifically matched to the look we’ve created together. This includes your lip colour for reapplication, a little pot of translucent or setting powder to reduce shine, and where needed, a dab of concealer for any quick fixes. These personalised items are decanted from my professional kit and tailored to your skin tone and look, giving you everything you need to feel fresh and confident from ceremony to celebration.
Gentle Makeup Removal Essentials
At the end of a big day, having the right products to gently remove your makeup is just as important as applying it. That’s why I include a mini bottle of professional-grade makeup remover, soft cotton rounds, lint-free pads, and a reusable microfibre cloth in your kit. These gentle yet effective tools allow you to cleanse your skin without irritation, perfect for sensitive skin or tired eyes after a long night. It’s my way of making sure your skin is cared for, even after the last dance.
Oil-Absorbing Blotting Papers
Shine happens, especially during emotional, warm, or high-energy moments. That’s why I include a pack of professional-grade oil-blotting papers in your touch-up kit. These ultra-thin sheets gently absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup, helping you stay matte and camera-ready all day. Just a quick press is all it takes to refresh your complexion and keep your glow exactly where you want it.
Sponges & Powder Puffs
Included in your kit are blending sponges and a soft powder puff, perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. The sponges are great for smoothing out any makeup creases or refreshing areas where foundation may have moved, while the powder puff allows you to press powder gently into the skin without disrupting your makeup. These tools are ideal for managing shine and keeping your base looking fresh and flawless, especially after happy tears or lots of dancing!
Little Lifesavers: Emergency Essentials
Sometimes it’s the smallest items that make the biggest difference. Your touch-up kit also includes thoughtful extras like safety pins, a mini nail file, toothpicks, dental floss, and more, because you never know what the day might throw at you. Whether it’s fixing a stray thread, smoothing a chipped nail, or freshening up after a meal, these tiny tools are there to help you feel comfortable and confident from start to finish.
Each complimentary touch up kit is individually curated for every client. Products, tools, shades, and tones are selected based on your specific hair and makeup look, skin type, and individual needs. As every look is different, the contents of each touch up kit may vary and may not include the same items as another person’s kit. Each kit is thoughtfully created to support and maintain your finished look on the day.
