Lovely, intuitive Elisa

Elisa held our hands (metaphorically) from the moment we first got in touch with her. My daughter had a vague idea of the look she wanted on her wedding day. I think it's true to say Elisa listened, but then applied her special touch, her experience and instinct to achieve what every bride wants - to not only look her very best but to believe that she does, so she owns that walk down the aisle!
As soon as Sarah put on her bridal crown, it wasn't just her that lit up - we all did when we saw how radiant she looked. Thank you too to Sherri for the beautiful hair arrangements.
Elisa is a lovely, kind make up artist. We felt totally at ease with her and would gladly recommend her services.

Very Talented

Mum and I had our make up done by Elisa Drummond. My mum was worried about having too much makeup on and not looking natural. Being 65, she thought no one could make her look and feel wonderful ….then Elisa did a trial and made her look 10 years younger !!
My makeup was very classic and understated yet I felt a million dollars ! Elisa knew exactly what to do with my skin type and tone and really advised me on how to get the best from my features. I still use the tips that she gave me and will always be grateful to have shared the morning of my wedding with such a talented and lovely young lady. Elisa made such a big impact by doing such beautiful makeup yet you hardly knew she was there…that’s a professional for you!
All the bridesmaids were pestering Elisa for tips and help with their final touch ups and Elisa never once appeared to be bothered or lack enthusiasm to help and share her knowledge. Not only is Elisa a great makeup artist she genuinely knows her stuff and I will continue to rave about the service she offers to anyone that will listen!!
Although I certainly don’t plan to get married again, I will definitely use Elisa for my next big event!”

I cannot recommend highly enough

Elisa was recommended by a friend and from the moment I met her she put me at ease and made the whole experience special. We discussed colour choices and recommended shades that would suit my skin tone. On the day of the wedding she kept me calm when the nerves kicked in and ensured everything was prefect. Myself and my four Bridesmaids received so many compliments on the day and I was so impressed that my make-up looked perfect

Incredible

Elisa single-handedly did the make-up for me, my three bridesmaids, three close friends, Mother, and my Aunt on the day of my wedding, and we were all absolutely thrilled with what she did. We felt amazing! Not only was Elisa incredibly skilled in make-up application, but she was wonderful to have with us on the day. Incredibly friendly, putting everyone at ease, and ensuring we had the best morning possible.
I couldn’t recommend Elisa highly, or thank her, enough!

Elisa is a genius

I booked Elisa to do the make-up for my wedding and she was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I first spoke to her on the phone her bubbly personality came across along with her professionalism and I instantly decided to book. At the trial Elisa listened to what I wanted - a fairly natural look with bright pink lips - and set to work. She created a more polished version of me, that still looked like me. And then she recreated the same on my wedding day- it was perfect! My bridesmaids and my mum were also very happy with their make-up. She is truly a genius with make-up :) If you are looking for a friendly, professional make-up artist who will enhance your natural beauty, look no further! Book Elisa today!"

Very professional

“Elisa did my make-up and my 3 bridesmaids on my wedding day. She was amazing and did a fantastic job. All my bridesmaids have very different tastes when it comes to make-up but Elisa managed to please them all and they all looked beautiful. Elisa did a great job with my make-up too, I hadn’t slept most the night and was unfortunately ill on my wedding day, but you would not have guessed after she worked her magic on me! Not only was she professionally great but also a lovely, warm person to have with you on your special day.

I felt beautiful

“To be honest, recommending’ Elisa isn’t strong enough a word – I feel extremely sorry for every Bride in Britain who DOESN’T have her as a make-up artist!
Elisa immediately understood the concept & vision of exactly what I wanted my wedding make-up to be; it is the one day of your life, where your face will be at its most photographed; you don’t want to mess about.
As soon as I met Elisa, I felt completely at ease with her total & utter professionalism AND her friendliness & warmth. More importantly, I was astounded with the results of my make-up trial, completely blown away. Elisa’s skill with her art is second-to-none; she is absolutely at the top of her game.
On the day of our wedding, Elisa made my bridesmaids look utterly stunning, with no initial trial or meeting, Elisa had no idea of their appearance, skin, or even attitude to make-up (which varied from fussy to non-existent!) yet all my bridesmaids looked & felt fabulous – and it REALLY shows in the photographs.
As for me, my wedding make-up was the only thing I had complete confidence in on the day – I knew there would be no stress, nothing would go wrong – and more importantly, I would look how I had always envisioned looking on my wedding day – like my hero Bridget Bardot! But in the end, my new husband summed it up nicely; he said I simply looked ‘Mesmerising’.
Thank you Elisa – and I’ll be booking a MAC Masterclass as soon as the honeymoon is over, in the hope of re-creating how beautiful I looked and felt on the most special day of my existence :-)”

Very happy

Just wanted to say how happy we were with Elisa's work. It was a busy morning for Elisa with 3 mothers, 3 bridesmaids and a bride needing makeup for my son's wedding on 10th September 2015 at Great Fosters Hotel in Egham. Elisa was brilliant she was calm and even had time to do final touch ups before we all walked down the isle. Thank you very much for all your hard work. I can highly recommend Elisa!

Highly recommended

Elisa was a superstar with the make up for our wedding. Even during the trial I instantly felt relaxed and very confident that I was going to have the look I wanted to achieve. She did my bridesmaids make up as well (4 of them) they looked absolutely stunning! She remained so calm on the morning of the wedding, and did everyone in good time. She even squeezed my mum in which was sprung on her on the morning! Elisa is professional, an excellent makeup artist and such a lovely person! Thank you so much. High recommend!

Thank you!

WOW - Elisa is absolutely AMAZING!! From my trial to the wedding day she made me feel at ease and did a better job than I could have ever have imagined! She's kind and professional and I would recommend her to anybody looking for a make-up artist.
She made myself, my mum and my 3 bridesmaids all look incredible and feel a million dollars. I cannot count how many compliments we had which made us feel super confident all day long. Even through all the tears it stayed put all day!
Great personality, Great professionalism and Great Make- up!! THANK YOU xx

Wonderful

Elisa is actually amazing! Myself and all my bridemaids felt so pleased with our makeup for my wedding day- I could not recommend more. As someone with quite tempermental, spotty skin and with the constant panic of it being at its worse for the big day, i'd no need to worry with Elisa as she surely does work her magic on all skin types. She works wonders quickly and not only is she highly talented but she is also the loveliest lady too! Thank you so much for making me feel super confident and wonderful and the lashes are a must have!! Hope to have my make up done again soon!! x

I cannot recommend highly enough

I can't recommend Elisa enough. She made me look and feel more beautiful than I ever have before on my wedding day, I will forever look at those photos and be delighted with my face and hair.
She's super kind and so calm and friendly and I'm delighted to have had her there on the morning of my wedding.
Thank you so much Elisa!! You're a star x

Simply Amazing

Simply amazing! Elisa did just beautiful make up for myself, my 4 bridesmaids and my mum for my wedding day. Not only did she manage to complete cover up my massive spot outbreak that I was stressing about, but she also managed to give me a complete sense of calmness for the time she was doing my make up, which as any bride knows isn't easy to come across on your wedding day! Everyone's make up stayed out all day so even the photos from the party in the evening still look good. If I need a make up artist again I wouldn't look anywhere else
