Dream makeup artist!

I booked Gemma for my wedding make up for myself and 7 others in my bridal party. Gemma advised on the best start/finish times to suit our ceremony time and arrived on time on the day.

She was great with all the girls, helpful with colours and things that would suit their skin tones. We had worked out what my make up would be like earlier at a trial and barely made any changes to it on the day.

Gemma was professional and such a calming presence on the wedding morning, I am so thankful for her experience and attention to detail, all of my bridal party looked and felt beautiful. My make up was perfect and lasted all day - I didn’t want to take it off!! I would absolutely encourage other brides to book with Gemma.

Thank you again Gemma for all your hard work on the day!

I was lucky enough to be able to secure Gemma for my wedding to do the makeup for myself and 3 others.

Gemma was so professional throughout the trials and the day itself. Not only professional but really took the time to listen / adjust where needed / provide advice and make us feel amazing.

From someone who is quite self conscious I honestly can say that Gemma really put me at ease and I had people complementing me all day.

If you're still looking for a wedding makeup artist to make you feel 100% amazing on your big day, I honestly can not recommend Gemma enough.

Thank you!

Amazing service from Gemma and Kelly!

I booked Gemma for my hair and makeup for my wedding. I was never taught how to use makeup or had any experience. I was also a bit worried as due to having a tanner/darker skin tone, sometimes it’s hard to find makeup artists who can help you. However, Gemma was great with communicating and full of great advise for me throughout the build up to my wedding. She listened to everything that I would like to incorporate in my wedding look and she delivered!

Really happy with how my hair and makeup on my wedding day! Thank you again Gemma and Kelly for helping me and my bridesmaids looking absolutely amazing on my wedding day!

Amazing Makeup and Hair for my wedding

Gemma did my makeup for my wedding and not only did I and all my bridesmaids look absolutely amazing the make up lasted all day and night. Our hair also stayed in (I even slept in mine). They were so attentive to each concern and really worked to make sure I was happy. The time keeping was great, it was such a relaxing morning and it wouldn't have been with Gemma and Kelly.

Wonderful from start to finish!

Gemma was a fabulous person to work with! She helped me reach the make up goal I was after for me and my bridesmaids! From the trial run, to the wedding day itself, Gemma made us feel calm while also making us feel as glam as ever! It was like having another friend in the room while getting ready! I'd highly recommend her to all, and will definitely use her again in the future!

Simply gorgeous

Gemma made me feel at ease from the moment I first messaged her. The trial was perfect and made me even more excited for my wedding day. She made me, my mum and my bridesmaids look like princesses and I couldn’t be more grateful. She calmed my nerves and made me laugh throughout the morning. Thank you so much xx

Perfect from start to finish!

The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. From the trial run through to the big day Gemma was so easy to work with, listened to what I wanted and got it perfect straight away so I had no worries about how my hair and make up would be on the day. There were 5 bridesmaids and Gemma gave a very clear schedule to make sure we were ready in plenty of time. The products used were great quality and my hair and makeup didnt move an inch all day! Thank you for making me feel beautiful!

Gemma was absolutely amazing throughout our wedding planning process from the moment we reached out to her to see if she was available for our special day. She travelled for our wedding and hair trials and we can’t thank her enough for this. On the morning of our wedding, Gemma was brilliant and calmed all of our nerves! She gave us the confidence we needed for the big day and felt like one of the girls! Thank you so much Gemma, wish we could do it all again! Xx

Fantastic wedding makeup

Gemma did the makeup for myself, my bridesmaids and the mums at my recent wedding. She was a pleasure to have around on the morning of the wedding, super friendly and easy to talk to, even when we were all feeling a little nervous.

The makeup itself was gorgeous on everyone, especially the flawless bases which lasted all day long with no issue. She is a real artist and knows what she is doing, as well as using great high quality products. For the quality of her work, I feel her prices are quite fair and I would definitely recommend her for your big day.

We all felt very glamorous and looking our absolute best all day, and I'm sure the photos will agree, so thank you Gemma!
