Wonderful Make-up

Helena was so just so lovely and it so grateful to have her on my big day. We had a trial a few months to the lead up and she was so flexible with making this work. Helena was was so good at listening to what I wanted which was a natural, pinky glow look and was fab at make slight tweaks and alterations to what I wanted whenever I wanted.

Helena was such a calm presence on the day and was great at helping to calm the nerves.

Brilliant!

From start to finish Helena was amazing. I booked a trial with her for myself and she was very warm and welcoming and took the time to explain what she was doing and why because I’m not usually one to wear makeup so wanted to understand and learn a little at the same time. Then, on the morning of the wedding she was bubbly and felt part of the bridal party. She was very professional but also got involved in our laughter and excitement. All the bridesmaids and myself loved our makeup and she did a brilliant job and making me look amazing but still like me which is exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend!

Just perfect!

Helena was just wonderful! So warm and friendly, knew exactly what we needed and managed to make us look amazing on the day. With a large wedding party this could have been a tough morning but it was organised perfectly and ran like clockwork. Everyone loved chatting away with her and the team, and we were so relaxed. We genuinely felt like they were part of our day and it really wouldn’t have been the same without them. Thank you!

Beautiful and saved the day!

Helena was both relaxed and wonderfully professional.
After beautifully applying make up to me, my bridesmaids and my mum, she help my mum dress me.
Whilst getting me dressed, she quietly brought my mums attention to a small hole in the seams of my dress, which without letting me know and she perfectly sewed up. Leaving me relaxed and unaware of the potential drama.
I am so grateful that she allowed me to remain relaxed and calm on the morning of the wedding.
I highly recommend Helena, and cannot praise her enough for her beautiful makeup and quiet professional dedication which ensured that I had a magical day.

Absolutely perfect!

I don't even know where to begin with how wonderful Helena is. From first contact she was so friendly and kind. Her enthusiasm and passion for what she does and wanting to make people's vision a reality is such a beautiful thing. She really cares and listens and is so talented. She maintained regular contact leading up to the big day and helped fuel the excitement. On my wedding morning she made the wedding party feel so relaxed, especially myself, she joined in with my mum, daughters and maid of honour singing and dancing, it actually felt like she was part of the wedding party. We experienced a few hiccups (not relating to her) on the morning when getting ready and Helena stepped in and helped us all get ready from fixing hair to adjusting dresses and helping get shoes on. This lady is a beautiful person and an absolutely amazing artist and professional. If you want the best, book with Helena she really make your day beautiful. Thank you for everything

Amazing lady !! Very professional and so friendly - made me feel at ease !

Helena did my wedding make up on 1st April 2023.
I dont wear alot of make up, normally just mascara and lip balm or lip gloss and blusher for work. So when i went for my wedding make up trial this was discussed. I wanted to look beautiful on my day, but also still wanted to look like me! So wanted a natural look. I also suffer with psoriosis and this was discussed when deciding on products etc. Myself, maid of honor, my eldest daughter and my mum all had make up trials, and came away over the moon ! Helena was so friendly, chatty and on my wavelength. Communication was fantastic! On the day of my wedding i really felt at ease, i felt amazing!! I would recommend Helena without hesitation!
Thankyou for making me look and feel beautiful, was a pleasure to meet you and have you as part of our day ❤️

Helena and Nina were fantastic and went above and beyond to make my day as special as it was. They are experts in hair and make up.

For the day I met Helena I knew we were on the same wave length, she is friendly, helpful and just a lovely person through and through. When I had my trial I can say the same about Nina. She is an expert in her field and no hair style was too much trouble. On the day they were bubbly and happy at 5.45 am, they got us ready and even helped the bridesmaids get into their dresses. All dressed and they did the final touches fir us all. Thank you both for all you did for me, I truly appreciate it . Take care. Xx

Very pleasant experience

Helena was wonderful, listened to everything I wanted for my Wedding make up. We got married down in Looe in August whilst on holiday and Helena put me at ease after a very stressful few weeks of moving house and Wedding planning! I had so many lovely comments about my very natural looking make up. Lovely lady, highly recommend

Overall a wonderful experience

Helena and her team were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Communication was great throughout, and the trial for myself and my bridesmaid was a wonderful day where we felt comfortable and relaxed. I felt so assured by the obvious care that went into planning the service on my wedding day, and the final product left me and my bridesmaids (8 of us so no small feat) looking and feeling absolutely incredible. Could not recommend more!

Wonderful day

Really enjoyed my experience with Helena, she made us all feel comfortable and created a look that I loved for my wedding day.
At the trial I wasn’t sure what I wanted but afterwards I felt really pleased and even more excited for the day.

Helena also helped the little ones feel part of the experience with special unicorn sparkles which was a lovely touch.

Thank you Helena :) x

My wedding day with Helena

From the first time I met Helena I was put at ease I had my trial and was very impressed with her professional approach and also her way of putting me at ease.
On the morning of my wedding Helena did my makeup just how we discussed at the trial it was lovely and natural and I was extremely happy with how it lasted for the whole day.
Thank you Helena for helping to make my wedding day the best day x
