Incredible.

I had my make up done by Aldona yesterday, I was only a guest at the wedding but she made me feel like the most beautiful person in the room. I lost count of how many compliments I had all day (and night because it still looked incredible at midnight!) She matched my make up to my outfit, she did exactly what I wanted and corrected any parts I decided I'd prefer slightly heavier.

Aldona was attentive, kind, polite, professional and worked her wonders in record timing. I was lucky to get an appointment at such short notice, she was just wonderful.

She also was kind enough to recommend some skincare after I admitted I struggle with knowing what to do with my skin, I felt so pampered and left feeling beautiful AND knowledgeable.

I'd recommend to anyone and everyone and I will 100% be back.

The best makeup I’ve ever had!

I enjoyed spending every minute with Aldona, she makes you instantly feel so comfortable and really listens to what you want. She has so much knowledge on makeup and her kit is the best! Not only will she boost your confidence with her skills, but she will talk you through each products she applies which I loved and thought was amazing.

Bridal Make up

I could not recommend Aldona enough; I came across her after she did a couple of my friends wedding make up, and both friends absolutely loved her. She is genuinely an artist, my wedding make up was more than I could have imagined and I felt beautiful all day. I had a trial before the day and was happy to be led by Aldona and what she thought would work for me and the general look I was going for. She was so incredible helpful, both with the make up and skin prep leading up to the day. The morning of my wedding, she was fantastic, her attention to detail is 100% and we laughed and giggled whilst getting ready. Her skills go way beyond just applying make up - she really knows skin types, colouring, colour matching, how the products work and last, and is more than happy to make recommendations and listen to any feedback. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough - she’s just fab!!! X

Run don’t walk to book Aldona!

Aldona is the best of the best.

Aldona nails the brief every time and is an incredibly skilled artist. She listens to your vision and brings it to life. Aldona’s service from makeup trials, skin prep advice and matching colour palettes can’t be faulted.
No ask is too much or job too big.

110% would recommend, Aldona.

Amazing MUA, definitely recommend!

Aldona was absolutely fantastic and I would 100% recommended her as a wedding MUA. She did my bridal make up along with my 4 bridesmaids & mother of the bride. Everyone was so pleased with the final look and Aldona was an absolute pleasure to spend the morning with on the wedding day!

Wedding make up

I searched for a make up artist that I felt could cater for my look ( I wanted soft glam) and I got it!
Aldona was at the venue before me, all set up and ready to go.
She really listened to what I wanted.
Besides that,v she was very helpful.
Even had a cuddle with one of the babies before she left.
Can't rate enough !
Thanks Aldona X

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish!

Aldona was brilliant. From the first contact she was helpful, kind, reassuring, friendly and really helped me feel calm about my big day. Not to mention she did an amazing job! I thought my make up looked flawless and exactly as I'd hoped. I would recommend her highly to anyone.

Absolutely flawless throughout! BEST makeup artist

As soon as I found Aldona I knew she was the one I wanted to do my wedding makeup. From the trial to the wedding day she was absolutely flawless. She’s the most friendly and down to earth makeup artist and she calmed all of our nerves on the day. My bridesmaids and I looked absolutely stunning and our makeup lasted the whole entire day without fading at all. I would recommend Aldona to anyone wanting perfect makeup for any event or their wedding day!

Wedding makeup

Aldona is amazing! She was the makeup artist for the bride, bridesmaids and mother of the bride and groom. She accommodated her skills so suit all of our skin types and we all had such a beautiful glow which lasted all day and night! She stayed until the very end for final touch ups before we walked down the aisle and was even taking some of our photos! She’s so funny and made the bride feel at ease all morning! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Thank you Aldona for working your magic and making me feel so special

Aldona , I can’t thank you enough for making me feel so special and confident at my best friends wedding by doing my make up. You brought a real buzz the morning of the wedding and made us all feel so special. I had compliments all day and night about my make up so really can’t thank you enough!

Amazing make up artist

Aldona is an amazing make-up artist. She did my wedding make-up and made all of the bridal party look gorgeous with simple, glowy looks and everyone’s make-up stayed in-tact all day and evening. I still felt like “me” after the make-up, which was really important to me. At our trial she taught me a lot about skincare and I changed my routine in the 2 months or so pre-wedding to ensure I was using eye cream and hyaluronic acid, which really helped contribute to my look on the day (and which I am continuing to use now!). Aldona is also great fun – we had a good old chat at our trial and she and made us all laugh and have a great time on the morning. Would highly recommend Aldona if you’re looking for wedding make-up!
