Beautiful make up

Emma did my make up for my Wedding in December 2017, as well as my Bridesmaid's make up and my Mum's. It was just lovely, and exactly what I had in mind! I had wanted quite a natural look and Emma created this perfectly. It was natural, but with a glow which showed in pictures too. We were all delighted with our make up and all felt also that Emma was so friendly and warm; she made me feel very at ease, especially as the nerves began to kick in! It was a wonderful, stress-free experience and I would definitely recommend Emma!

I felt the best, beautiful and natural version of myself

I just wanted to say it’s been great meeting and working with you, thank you so much for your professional and friendly approach, the make up and hair trial was fun, and it was lovely having you around when my wedding party, mum and I got ready on the day - especially your words of reassurances, and being understanding and creative when having to work in a room with little natural light and free floor space! My mum, maid of honour and bridesmaid looked amazing, and I too felt the best beautiful and natural version of myself, thank you.

Over the moon with my make up

I would highly recommend Emma as a make up artist. I was over the moon with my make up. She is very professional and kept me very calm on the day. It lasted the whole day and did not need to be touched up.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the makeup Emma did.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Emma for my makeup trial. I've had 3 absolutely disastrous experiences and so was very apprehensive for my 4th trial. However I'm absolutely thrilled with the makeup Emma did. She listened to what I wanted - but also made suggestions based on her experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and I'm really looking forward to my makeup for my wedding day next year. Thanks

Flawless

The make up that Emma did was absolutely amazing, I was left with a flawless look right through the day and didn't even need to touch it up once and nor did the bridesmaids! She also brought along an amazingly calm personality, that really helped put my nerves at ease. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you!

I really can't thank Emma enough

Thank you so much for my makeup lesson. I've been following the same routine for years without ever thinking about it. You've totally revolutionised the way I do my makeup now and have inspired me to try lots of new colours and looks. Now when I look at myself I see a more youthful person looking back at me from the mirror now. I really can't thank you enough.

The end result was amazing

My mum and I had a makeover session with Emma. She was incredibly professional, came with a huge variety of cruelty free products and was able to give us lots of useful make up tips. We really had no idea about animal testing and products prior to this - but Emma has really made us rethink what we use on our skin, without any pressure whatsoever. The end result was amazing and we were both extremely pleased with our looks. She was friendly with a great sense of humour, and made us feel totally comfortable. I particularly loved the eyelashes she used. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommend.

Emma did an absolutely amazing job

Emma did an absolutely amazing job on my hair and make-up for my wedding.
She listened to what I wanted and was so friendly, calm and professional throughout the morning of getting ready (doing hair for 3 bridesmaids and also make-up for my mum who hardly ever wears make-up and loved how Emma made her look - lovely but natural). The hair and make-up lasted all day and into the night and I had so many complements. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you Emma!

Amazing ...

I would highly recommend Emma as a make up artist. I was over the moon with my make up on my wedding day. She is very professional and kept me very calm on the big day. It lasted the whole day and did not need to be touched up.

Winter Wedding - Molly and Raed - 09/12/17

Emma did my makeup for my Winter Wedding last Saturday. She also did my Mum's makeup and my two Bridesmaids. We were all thrilled with the end result and thought what a talented makeup artist Emma is! We all wanted to go for a very natural look, and Emma created this beautifully. It was exactly what we had hoped for; we had a natural look, but with a glow, and this really shows in the pictures. Emma was lovely, patient and friendly, and I felt really comfortable with her. I was getting more nervous as the time to leave was approaching but Emma put me at ease and helped me to relax. Thank you Emma!
