I’ve had my eye on Alice Birchmore, and her website, Reverie Make Up, for so long I forget how I originally came across her. Anyhow, that’s not all that important now – the important thing is that Alice is included in the Gothic By Design and I’m extremely pleased about that.
Having your make up professionally applied on your wedding day is a must. Not only the obvious reason of ensuring that you look your best, but also because it’s the time in your ‘getting ready’ itinery that most closely resembles a pamper session and that sets you up for the rest of the day. There are many brides out there who choose a helping hand with their bridal make up, but for those adopting a striking or dramatic look for their wedding day, you need to call in the experts. This is where Alice comes in.
The variety of looks that Reverie Make Up could bring to your day are outstanding. Alice can bring your alter ego out to play for your wedding day, whether you are looking to be darkly demure, frightfully fay, an ice princess, or full on horror fantasy. In fact, if you are still pondering on a ’style’ the images below could well help you decide in themselves.
Alice has recently passed her degree in make up application at Manchester University. Originally from Kent, Alice plans to remain in Manchester for the foreseeable future, but can easily accept bookings down in Kent too.
Now feast your eyes on these glorious examples of Alice’s work……………..
The shoot that the above image was taken from was inspired by Tim Burton movies.

These images demonstrate that a beautifully rich and striking quality can be brought to a more traditional look.

Now here’s a fascinating style for a goth bride – I’m always very taken with the idea of a goth in white. These ice maiden images bring a rebellious slant to a ‘traditional’ white wedding.

Now, these two styles may be far more extreme than most would want for their wedding day, but they demonstrate just how far Alice can go.
