Couldn’t have chosen anyone better!

Charli was amazing! She was able to offer so much advice prior to the day regarding skin care and testing different make up options. On the wedding day she was fundamental in making sure everyone was running on time, and helping to usher everyone into the right place at the right time, and even helped me into my dress. I got so many compliments on my hair and make up too, she’s an incredible artist!

The best I have ever looked and felt

I searched high and low through Instagram to find somebody to do my wedding makeup before finding Charli. She was amazing. From booking to our trial, where she was so knowledgable about what (reasonably priced!) products would have my skin glowing for my wedding, to the morning itself, Charli was so lovely and such a calming and fun presence. She made us feel and look amazing and I could not be more grateful for having found her 🤍

Beautiful Creativity

I first met Charli at my sisters wedding when she did our hair and make up and I instantly knew when it was my time that she would be who I would want to do mine.
Throughout the entire process, Charli has been so helpful, attentive and calming. Even advising the best facials to have to prepare for your big day.
I have honestly never felt so special and this was all down to Charli and her beautiful talent.
Thank you for making me feel like a princess.

I was ‘Glowing’

Charli did my ‘Mother of the Bride’ hair and make up for my daughters wedding recently. I don’t normally wear much make up and I’m not a very glamorous person. I wanted to be able to look in the mirror and recognise myself and Charli managed to make me look amazing but still natural. The ‘best version of myself’. My friends said that I was ‘glowing’ and that was not only due to make up but due to the confidence that she gave me. Not to mention all the tips on the day such as taking the cover of the wedding dress as soon as you arrive and leaving out shoes, jewellery, perfume etc ready for the photographer. The little things that she knows from her wealth of wedding experience. Charli really is the best and I have no hesitation in recommending her. Thank you Charli x

Wedding party makeup artist

Charli was the makeup artist for my wedding back in September 2021. From the makeup trial, to the day, Charli was absolutely amazing. It was a trying time with covid and dates constantly being moved. She was so responsive and accommodating.

Myself and my bridal party were over the moon with our hair and makeup. I felt like a million dollars and didn’t want to take it off. I would not have wanted anyone else to do my makeup and be part of our special day. I cannot thank you enough Charli 💖💖💖

Charli was my makeup artist when I was a bridesmaid 2 years ago. As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted Charli to do my makeup. She made me feel amazing, went above and beyond at my trials. My makeup looked flawless all day and my hair stayed perfect.

Absolutely perfect

Charli is incredible! If you are looking for a MUA that can do it all, don't think twice about booking her.
From the trial to the wedding day, she was so accommodating (even when I decided to change my makeup look on the day!) and nothing was too much trouble. My bridesmaids, mum and MIL all commented on how amazing they felt and looked. She really gave us all a lot of confidence.
I'd never felt better - She's such a wizard, my skin felt so lightweight and I didn't have to worry about it shifting - it stayed on all day and night.
And not to mention her hair skills, we decided on extensions and she matched the colour perfectly.
Don't hesitate to book Charli, she will make you look and feel perfect.

I cannot thank Charli enough!

Charli went above and beyond on my wedding day, essentially becoming another member of my bridal party! She not only gave me the best hair but also made sure right up to the last minute before I left that I was looking and feeling fabulous. She helped me into my dress when we were running a bit behind time and stayed calm throughout.
Do not hesitate to book Charli, she's worth every penny!

Wonderful!

I had a really wonderful experience with Charli and my make-up stay put the whole day :)
I booked Charli at the very last minute and she was able to accommodate my request. We didn't have time for a trial but I trusted her completely and the result was simply amazing! I was so happy with my wedding make-up that I've booked her again for a private make-up session. I'd totally recommend her!

Amazing wedding make up artist

Charlotte is just absolutely amazing! Don’t think twice!
She was really helpful with finding the right look for my big day with hair and make up during the trail. She took her time and it really took hours for me to decide but she was so patient. I had a last minute change of heart on the day and it was sorted just like that.
Charlotte helped not just with make up but getting dressed and helping with pictures, flowers, veil, advice and just being part of my day. I felt that she was one of my friends being part of the day.
My bridesmaids and mum looked stunning and all the girls had only praises for Charlotte.

I am so glad I got to work with Charlotte. I would do it all over again and change nothing!

Thank you Charlotte!

Perfect wedding hair and makeup!

Charli was such a dream! She was absolutely the best person to have with me on the day doing my hair and makeup. I was so so happy with how I looked on the day and felt like an absolute princess - she was just amazing and even knew exactly when to help me escape the wedding madness for 10 minutes in the morning!
I can not shout her praises enough and wish we could do it all again!

She’s like a fairy godmother

I have never felt so confident in my own skin! Charli from start to finish was positive, approachable and obviously, incredibly talented. I woke up so nervous for the big day and once she had worked her magic, felt like Cinderella - the photos are a testament to this and the hair and make up stayed perfectly all day and night long! I kept the Hollywood waves (and extensions) all the next day as well! Charli really is amazing and I couldn’t recommend her more!

Charli where do I begin! You were absolution incredible on my wedding day back in March. I wanted a natural look and I was so pleased my make up lasted all day. Not only was you brilliant with hair and make up for me, my mum and my bridesmaids you were amazing with my children and keeping me calm. Can’t thank you enough!

Where do I start. From trial to wedding day, Charli was amazing. I decided to change my look from our trial on the day of the wedding, Charli was so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. She made me look and feel the best I have ever felt. She has a wonderful calming aura about her- this is very important on the biggest day of your life!!
I can’t thank her enough for all she did on my big day. Will recommend to everyone, Thank you so much Charli xx
