Highly recommended!

Ila did my wedding makeup and was absolutely perfect. She was very calm and so sweet and made me feel at ease since the moment I met her.
As someone who doesn’t often wear makeup, I was nervous about how it would turn out. However, Ila listened to my vision and created a beautiful, natural look that I absolutely loved.
She was super attentive and stayed with me and the bridal party until the very last minute, making sure we all looked perfect!
She made me feel comfortable and confident on my special day and I received so many compliments on my makeup! I’m so grateful to Ila for her talent. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands your vision, I highly recommend her. She’s wonderful!

A wonderful experience!

I can’t express how grateful I am for Ila. From our very first meeting, it felt like I had known her for years. Her warm personality and genuine kindness immediately put me at ease.
She listened to my concerns and created a beautiful flawless look - my skin looked incredible. What I loved most is that the whole experience was not just about makeup, it felt like spending time with a friend.
Ila was a wonderful part of my wedding journey!

A perfect experience and beautiful makeup!

I can't say enough about the memorable experience I had with Ila as my bridal makeup artist!
She went above and beyond during my makeup trial, taking extra care to ensure my skin was perfectly prepped before even starting the makeup, which made such a difference.
On my wedding day from the moment she arrived, her calming presence put me at ease, which was great, exactly what I needed on such an emotional day.
The result was perfect – a natural, radiant look that made me feel like the best version of myself and truly beautiful.
What I appreciated most was how relaxed she made me feel. Ila is lovely and created a peaceful environment for me and my bridal party, allowing me to truly enjoy the morning. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience or a more beautiful makeup 💕x

I couldn’t recommend Ila highly enough!

Ila did my amazing makeup for my wedding day, together with my mum’s and 4 bridesmaids.
From the very first moment we met, her warm and calming presence instantly put me at ease. She took the time to really understand my vision and personal style (I normally wear very little makeup) making me feel completely heard and understood.

When the day finally arrived, Ila worked her magic in a way that far exceeded all my expectations. The makeup was bautiful and elegant, and most importantly, it still felt like me. She enhanced my natural features without ever making it feel overdone.

What touched me the most was how genuinely invested Ila was in making me feel beautiful and confident. She didn’t just apply makeup—she gave me a sense of calm and reassurance on one of the most important days of my life. Thank you, Ila, for making my wedding day so much more memorable.
