Absolutely would hire again!

Kelly was so lovely to work with, and I’m so grateful I was able to find her and her hairdresser/MUA business partner, Perdip. She made me feel so beautiful and special, and she was so flexible with my tight schedule! She just made it work, knew exactly what she was doing, and I so appreciated her.

Dreamy wedding makeup

Kelly is exceptional. She is so friendly and warm, it is a joy to have your makeup done by her. She did my bridal makeup as well as my Mum, mother-in-law and maid of honour. We all looked and felt a million dollars. I have used Kelly for occasion makeup before and I wouldn't want to use anyone else!

A wonderful and fun experience!

I was lucky enough to choose Kelly for my makeup on my wedding 29/08/24. From the trial to the big day an amazing and relaxed service was provided to myself and my three neieces which has provided such beautiful memories!
You worked some serious magic on a mature bride!

Amazing service!

Kelly was very informative and professional throughout the whole planning process, from start to finish! She made my bridesmaids, mum and myself look amazing! She was approachable, comfortable to talk to and loves a good cuppa! My makeup lasted until the next day! I would highly recommend Kelly for your makeup needs!

Brilliant make up artist!

Kelly did mine and my bridesmaids’ make up for my wedding day. She did an amazing job on all of us and went for make up that was complimentary to each of skin tones and features.

Kelly did a fantastic job and I really loved the way we all looked.

Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience!

I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with Kelly as my wedding make-up artist. She truly made my vision come to life with absolutely beautiful make-up that was exactly what I had hoped for. From the very beginning, Kelly listened carefully to my ideas and preferences, ensuring I felt comfortable and confident with the look we had chosen together. Kelly’s high degree of professionalism was evident from start to finish, and she went above and beyond on the day itself. When things didn’t go according to plan, she was right there, lending a hand wherever needed and helping keep everything on track with such calm and grace. I felt so supported, and her extra efforts truly made a difference. I couldn’t recommend Kelly more highly to any bride looking for a talented, dedicated, and genuinely caring make-up artist. She helped make my day unforgettable!

The biggest thanks!

Kelly was truly great to have do my bridal make up and for my 3 bridesmaids. She was punctual, friendly, listened to what I wanted and made some great suggestions that meant I was totally at ease with her and she did such a great job!
I did a make up trial which was really worth it to get a feel for what I wanted and really enhanced my whole experience in this process as I was quite nervous of wearing make up overall as not really something I do often. Thank you so much Kelly

Bridal make-up

Kelly was amazing, my make-up was perfect on the day, making me feel very special!
I had a trial and we discussed what I wanted. She then did my make-up and then we discussed the areas which I wasn't sure about, tried different products and colours and didnt leave until she knew exactly what I wanted on the day.
Kelly is a very personable, calming, friendly and knowledgeable about her products, and I would 100% recommend her.

Fantastic MUA

I found Kelly using Hitched and couldn't have been happier. She is truly professional, and great to work with. Completely unfazed that I asked for an extra person at the last minute. Our ages ranged from 9 to over 50 and we all looked amazing. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone getting married in need of a brilliant. reliable and flexible MUA.

Kelly Elkin bridal Make Up

Kelly did my make up and the make up of my four bridesmaids the morning of our wedding. She was so calm and gentle with everyone. I have to say we all looked rather pretty once she’d finished with us. She was very patient and accommodating. We received lots of compliments. Thank you for making our day so special Kelly.

Professional but relaxed

Not only did Kelly squeeze me in at short notice but she did the most fantastic make up on myself and my bridesmaid for my special day, she made us both feel a million dollars 🥰 I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic

Very professional, made us look and feel amazing, makeup for both bride and mother of bride was not cloggy, lasted all day and looked as good as when first on, Kelly listened to our requirementsand made us natural looking, we both looked and felt amazing. Natural false eyelashes were very comfortable with wearing our thicker glasses.A lovely experience, would highly recommend especially if you have combination problamatic skin, are older and don't want to be wearing heavy makeup. Kelly's knowledge of products advice and empathise our good points and downplay bad was superb. Would want to book her everyday for makeup as we both felt and looked a million dollars.

So kind and helpful

Kelly was not only very helpful to me in sorting out problems with getting things paid from Canada, but also reliable and friendly and confident in her delivery of make up for me on the wedding day. Her manner was kind and relaxing which helped with pre-wedding nerves and she was good at seeking my approval for every step. Kelly did not display even a doubtful moment about my age (59) to be getting married and I felt treated very well by her.

Perdip was also very kind and thoughtful and came as expected and delivered our hair as planned. She was also relaxed in her manner and funny, helping me to put the wedding day in perspective.

I would definitely recommend both Kelly and Perdip to anyone else planning their wedding day.
