Make-Up By Gabrielle Where? Durham Why me? “My love for make-up started on a counter for Urban Decay in Debenhams,” says owner Gabrielle Walker. “I started to do wedding make-up a year into my career, where I realised how much I loved everything about getting a bride ready for the biggest day of her life! Quite simply, I’m here to make sure you walk down the aisle wearing the make-up of your dreams. I’m also a bit of a perfectionist – you have to have that lipliner perfect, and make-up set in place, until the very next morning – so you can dance the night away still looking as amazing as you did at the start of the day!” Contact: www.instagram.com/makeupbygabrielle_x www.carlawhittingham.co.uk Who?
