Who can claim this offer
Quem pode usar esta oferta
The £49 bridal makeup trial is available to:
- ANew clients only. This offer is not available to brides who have previously booked any service with Gessica Freire MUA.
- BAny UK bride. You do not need to be based in the North East — any bride in the United Kingdom is welcome to claim this offer.
- CStudio visits only. The trial must take place at Gessica's studio in Darlington. Gessica does not travel for the Studio Trial. You travel to her.

What you get for £49
O que você recebe por £49
Your trial is a full, unhurried bridal makeup session — not a consultation, not a quick look. You arrive, we talk through your dress, your venue, and the exact feeling you want. Then Gessica does your complete wedding-day makeup.
- ✓Full bridal makeup application using professional, long-wear products
- ✓In-depth consultation before we begin — skin, insecurities, inspiration images, dress details
- ✓Product and shade records so your wedding-day look is recreated exactly
- ✓Before and after photos for your own personal reference
- ✓Honest feedback on what worked and any tweaks for your big day
The trial session typically runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Please arrive with a clean, moisturised face and your hair done as you would on the wedding day (or in a style that lets Gessica see your face clearly).
The Gessica Promise
A Promessa da Gessica
This guarantee exists because Gessica's work depends on your confidence in it. Every bride who sits in that chair deserves to leave feeling seen. If that does not happen, the session was on us.
To claim the no-charge guarantee, simply let Gessica know before you leave the studio. Refund requests made after leaving the studio — or after photos or social posts have been published — cannot be honoured.
How the trial credit works
Como funciona o crédito do teste
The Signature Package (£479) and The Full Journey (£979) both include a personal trial with Gessica, valued at £179. If you book a package without having done the £49 studio trial, that trial is included and you pay the full package price.
If you have already completed the £49 studio trial, that trial session has already taken place. The £179 trial value built into the package is therefore deducted from your balance, as there is no need to repeat it. This means you pay £300 to complete the Signature Package, or £800 to complete The Full Journey.

What we ask in return
O que pedimos em troca
To keep this offer sustainable, Gessica asks two things in return. After your trial, please complete both of the following:
- 1A Google review or social media post: Leave an honest Google review of your experience, or share a post on your social media tagging @gessicafreiremakeup. Either is accepted — a genuine 15-second Instagram story counts perfectly.
- 2A before & after photo: Share a before-and-after photo from your trial — either privately with the team for their records, or publicly on social media tagging @gessicafreiremakeup. Both options are accepted.
That is all. No lengthy surveys, no referral requirements, no pressure. A quick, genuine share helps future brides find Gessica — and this is how Gessica is able to offer this price to you.
⚠️ If neither condition is fulfilled within 14 days of your trial, the offer conditions will be considered unmet and the standard trial rate of £179 will apply. You will be invoiced for the difference. We will send a friendly reminder before this happens.
Changes to your booking
