Wonderful MUA

I cannot recommend Audrey highly enough. She did my makeup plus five bridesmaids and my mother in law’s make up.
She’s an incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, professional make up artist. It was an absolute pleasure to have her there on my wedding morning, it was like we already knew her.
She took time to listen and answer our questions. The results were honestly stunning, I felt like a movie star.

Also credit to her brilliant assistant Shannon who was also tremendous.

Audrey is incredible at what she does

It was an absolute dream working with Audrey, I would absolutley recommend hiring her for your big day!

Audrey was super responsive and really helpful when I was discussing different ideas for what I wanted my look to be like on the day. I booked a trial with her to begin with and she took the time to explain absolutley everything she was doing, and why, so it made sense to me - I really appreciated this at it meant I felt like me at the end of the process, which is so important as someone who doesn’t usually wear a lot of make up. She was incredibly kind throughout the whole process and really accommodating.

I felt like a million dollars on my wedding day. I can’t get over it! She made my bridesmaids and my mum look and feel the incredible too. The quality of her work is just outstanding. Going with Audrey for your big day is a no brainer!

YOUR Friendly, Adaptive and Professional Bridal MUA

I had a pretty last minute cancellation from my original MUA, but Audrey was able to save me from the sadness and panic!
She was fantastic on the day, she was punctual, friendly, quick to understand our needs, and so much more. I was worried about my makeup a lot as I have an East Asian background and had to do my makeup without having a trial with Audrey but I can assure you that Audrey is very adaptive and confident professional who can do any types of faces, I couldn’t have been more happy with the result. My friends and my mum were incredibly satisfied with their makeup as well.
Well, thank you Audrey and Shannon for working with me and made my day relaxing and beautiful! 🙏❤️

Bridal Party Hair and Make Up

Audrey was amazing on the day of and in the run up to my wedding. She is so easy to talk to that she put me right at ease at my trial and on the morning of the wedding when nerves were starting to kick in. I could email her about anything on the run up to the wedding and she was happy to give advice and even add on extra services at the last minute!

I was given a rough timeline of how the morning would go a couple of weeks before so I knew what was coming and could get my bridal party organised. Anything I wasn’t sure of with my make up she would change with no issue and on the morning of the wedding one of my bridesmaids even changed how she wanted her hair after she had already been done and liked one of the other girls hair better - Audrey just sat her back in the chair and changed it with no issue or drama.

As well as the fact she is very good at what she does her service and personality mean I would recommend her to everyone!

Friendly and highly skilled make-up artist

From start to finish Audrey was a dream to work with. Super responsive and listened to what we wanted to create the perfect look that lasted all day. Audrey was able to recommend products and techniques to suit skin and face shape so I learned a lot too! Both Audrey and Shannon were very bubbly and fun to have on the wedding morning - thank you so much!

Sensational!

Audrey made me feel like an absolute queen on my wedding morning! The wedding morning was made to feel really relaxed and we had so many laughs reliving our youth!!
Considering I had no previous knowledge of a MUA in Edinburgh as I travelled from the North West, I could not be happier with the work Audrey did. Hair and make up were phenomenal and all 3 of us were so happy with everything on the day!
You will not go wrong with picking Audrey and she will honestly make your day so special.

Luxury makeup artist

Audrey is an amazingly talented bridal makeup artist who really uses her experience and passion for makeup to create a look that both compliments your features / skin tone and matches your vision perfectly.

I worked with Audrey on a photoshoot and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her personally as the final results alongside her “hype team” attitude really made me feel my absolute best on the days.

A truly incredible supplier - snap her up while you can!!

Hair&makeup done to a perfection!!

Audrey & shannon went above and beyond on my wedding day! They did a fantastic job with our hair and make-up on myself and my girls! Audrey really has the magic touch as I struggle with anxiety which shows all over me I tend to break out which was a great concern for me however Audrey reassured me not to worry she's got this! And true to her word she managed to cover me like magic! No red rash/ blotching insight!!! Cannot recommend these 2 fantastic girls/sisters enough! Their whole vibe they give 💯 my hair and make-up lasted the whole day/night! Audrey, Shannon thank you so much!!!💕✨️
