Wouldn't have wanted anyone else.

Gosh Sophie where do I even begin. From start to finish Sophie was so professional and reliable, and I fully respected her knowledge and skill. Absolute miracle worker with all of my bridal party. Even keeping my aunt calm when she became a bit light-headed or giving suggestions for hair styles as we were getting ready. Sophie listened to what I wanted whilst also giving expert suggestions. I had a bridal makeup trial a couple of months before the wedding and Sophie listened to me and delivered when I asked on the wedding day if we could apply black eyeliner as this felt more me. Her style is incredible and all of my bridal party looked stunning. The makeup stayed perfect though tears, rain and humidity. Sophie helped me with my veil as well as showing my bridesmaid how to fasten the many buttons down my dress. She was a fun yet calming presence all morning. I've honestly never felt so beautiful in all of my life, thank you for making my 7 year old inner self, dressed up in the wedding fancy dress I insisted my dad get me, look like the Disney princess I always wanted to be. ❤

Makes you feel like you!

I have always known how I like to look, and I'm usually quite wary of having my makeup done by others, for fear of them not listening to what I want and end up looking nothing how I pictured. For a while, I was intent on doing my own wedding makeup... until finding Sophie!

My mum found Sophie's website, and I really liked her style, and outlook on makeup. I really like how Sophie asks you what you like about pictures, and takes the time to understand how you want to look on your special day. She explains what is or isn't achievable (i.e. certain pictures have filters/editing).
I really appreciated the time Sophie took to help me achieve the right look, and I took on board her suggestions of skincare in the lead up to my wedding. I also really appreciated how patient she was with not only letting me have 2 trials, but also letting my mum/sister/nan have trials too, and for coming to us.

I knew I wanted to look like myself, and to have a timeless look that was polished, and lasted all day. Sophie certainly smashed this brief! I also loved how Sophie took the time to advise which lip products she used on me, and a good dupe that I could purchase for top-ups throughout the day.

One of the main reasons why I chose Sophie to do my wedding makeup was because I liked her energy, and wanted that on my wedding morning. I also knew she would have us all ready on time and do a fabulous job!
Sophie stayed right until just before I got in to the Wedding Car to be taken to Church, to make sure everything was perfect before I left. She really does go the extra mile!
I was so happy with the way the makeup lasted, and I was so sad to take it off at the end of the night.

Wish I could get married all over again so I can have this experience getting all glammed up again, it really was such a special part of my day.

Thank you Sophie, and wishing you the best day ever on your own wedding day soon!

Fantastic services

Sophie provided make-up and hair for myself and my bridesmaids. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied. She has a wonderful eye for color, respectfully listens to your requests, and moves throughout the getting-ready period of the day with a calm, collected stress-free attitude. She was on time and ahead of schedule. I am beyond satisfied with my experience and highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for fabulous make up, hair and fantastic service

Sophie is the best!!

Sophie did bridal makeup for myself and 3 bridesmaids in March 2024. The trial beforehand was really useful; Sophie was so welcoming and made me feel really comfortable. I wasn't sure what would look good on me but Sophie was able to suggest a few looks and I went for soft glam which was perfect! On the day of the wedding Sophie arrived on time and organised; she had already sent me a run through so we knew the order in which each of us was getting ready. She liaised with our hairdresser to make sure everything would run like clockwork. Our makeup was absolutely beautiful. Sophie adapted the looks for each of us and considered each person's age and makeup ideas. Not only was she a fabulous makeup artist but she helped with other things such as buttoning up my dress as my bridesmaid was struggling and beginning to panic! I would 100% recommend Sophie to any bride to be, she's just fab and a lovely person!

Incredible bridal artist

I cannot recommend Sophie enough. She is incredible.
From our first conversation she made me feel so comfortable - as someone who doesn’t often wear a lot of make up I was pretty nervous about this aspect of the wedding. Sophie put me at ease from the get go. Asking just enough questions about what I wanted to not make me feel overwhelmed.
In the lead up to the wedding she was always super fast to respond to any messages that I sent. The trial went so well and once again her gorgeous personality made me feel comfortable and like I’d known her for years. I was so relaxed around her.
The photos of her work speak for themselves - she’s an incredible artist and did the most amazing job for me and my four bridesmaids (she even made my little 3 year old flower girl feel involved in getting her make up done).
Anyone looking for a bridal artist for their wedding would be lucky to have Sophie involved in their special day.
Thanks so much Soph

professional, talented & kind

Sophie met our expectations & more :)
What an amazing woman!!
The trial was easy to organise and Sophie made me feel totally in control and at ease. On the day, Sophie arrived on time, fully equipped and ready to work her wonders. She remained professional despite the bridal party drama…
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more supportive, kind, talented individual to get me ready. My makeup& hair remained in place for the whole day & evening, with no touch up required.

Sophie is Fab!

Sophie was such a great makeup artist. She did makeup for myself, three bridesmaids and my mother in law and everyone said how lovely and how talented she was at making everyone feel at ease and look their best.

I had a trial with Sophie waaay ahead of my wedding and when I messaged her with about a month to go from the day with some questions she was more than happy to help.

She arrived bright and breezy even at 6am and her timings were perfect. It was like having another bridesmaid there who was calm, knowledgeable and understood how important this part of the day was. She stayed right until my dress was on and I was ready to go.

My makeup lasted all day and night and even after we had a very late post wedding after party my eyelashes had not moved. I’m so pleased with how my makeup looks on the photos as well as my bridal party. I could not recommend Sophie enough and won’t hesitate to book her in the future.

A wonderful experience with Sophie

Sophie did a fabulous job of my hair & make-up as a wedding guest for my brother's wedding. Sophie arrived promptly and hit the hair and make-up brief we asked for. Beautiful hair & make-up achieved. I would 100% recommend Sophie- you have talent, Soph, keep doing what you’re doing!

The most perfect experience!!

From the first email Sophie was so lovely, quick to respond and professional, I just knew she was the person to support me and my bridesmaids on my wedding morning. I don't usually where much make-up and was initially nervous to book a makeup artist, but there was absolutely no need to be! Soft and glowing was the brief and Sophie's signature, I felt AMAZING the makeup stayed on all day (it really did!!) and felt so natural I got so many compliments that I looked like an elevated version of myself which was everything I hoped for and more. Sophie not only did all our makeup but was super chilled, calming any nerves just chatting and laughing she was like another member of the wedding party. On my trial day Sophie also gave me such great skincare tips ahead of the big day so I felt confident in the run up to the big day my skin would look its best. I could go on and on about how amazing Sophie is!!!

Perfect wedding day hair & make up experience

Sophie was incredible from the get go. She is so laid back whilst offering a high quality and professional service. I honestly felt like I was with a friend both during the trials & on my wedding day morning! She was supportive every step of the way and was flexible to make changes so that I could feel fully confident & comfortable in my hair & make up for my wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Absolutely loved my makeup!
Sophie is extremely talented and so down to earth.
After doing such a fantastic job on my wedding day for myself and my maid of honour I had to hire Sophie again to do my makeup for my wedding party a few weeks later.
Not only is the makeup top notch but Sophie is so easy going and listened to exactly what I wanted, creating the perfect look for me.
I’d definitely recommend and will be using Sophie again! X

FANTASTIC. Sophie is a really warm person who made me feel fabulous

Sophie was brilliant. I honestly felt like an absolute queen.
She did my mums make up and bridesmaids also they looked amazing.
I really appreciated how she listened to what each person wanted and made us all feel special. She even helped me into my dress and fixed it when we thought it was broken.
