L'Atelier Maquillage

Natacha Bonjour runs L'Atelier Maquillage from a studio in Bavois and counts more than 17 years in bridal hair and makeup. She does both, but no cutting or colouring, and travels to your home or wherever the morning is based for the wedding day. The trial is held at the atelier and is recommended one to two months ahead, so styles and products can be tested and adjusted before the date. Plan on roughly an hour and a quarter for makeup and around two hours for hair on mid-length to long hair; guest services run shorter, about 45 minutes for makeup and an hour for a hairstyle.

The kit draws on professional brands including Charlotte Tilbury, Hourglass, Huda Beauty, Serge Louis Alvarez and Natasha Denona, all chosen as cruelty-free. The studio covers Morges, Lausanne and Yverdon, and works with guests and the wider wedding party as well as the bride.
