Formerly known as Beauty by K J Brown, Karen Shields specialises in make-up for weddings so that brides can enjoy the luxury of a professional look for their big day.

Though based in East Lothian in Scotland, Karen covers Northern Ireland and is a member of the beauty guild. She can provide a range of services for your wedding day make up including airbrush make-up, covering blemishes and scars and even temporary tattoos.

Beauty by K J Shields understands the need for a stunning, natural look that will last throughout your day and ensure that you put your best face forward for those all important photographs.

It is recommended that brides have a make-up trial prior to the day of the wedding to ensure that the right colours and shades are used (all products are hypo-allergenic). This usually takes an hour and should be done 4-5 weeks before the date.

For those brides looking for a unique look for their wedding day, Karen can offer a wide range of styles from Hollywood glamour to fantasy.

Karen also offers relaxing facials, manicures, pedicures, tanning and waxing so the bridal party can take advantage of plenty of preparation time before the day of the wedding. She also works with an art photographer who can capture your dream make-over prior to saying 'I do'.
