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.
