Alex saved the day!
After a previous makeup artist bailed on me. I found alex on hitched, she responded quickly and during my trial talked me through all she was doing but also checked in at every stage to see if it was how I wanted my makeup to look, she made me so at ease and made it comfortable to say if I wanted to try more blush or change eyeshadow etc. She was a ray of sunshine on the wedding morning everyone loved chatting with her. From a range if soft glam to natural looking makeup for my mum. Alex even went the extra mile by talking me through ways to sort my skin out that i was struggling with and look after it, not only for the wedding but for me in general. Most of all alex made us all feel gorgeous in ourselves not just with the makeup. If I ever need a makeup artist again I would pick alex everytime.

The red carpet treatment
Alex did my makeup for my son’s wedding following a trial. During the trial Alex’s choices were spot on and I really liked the look The wedding day started with a nerve racking morning but Alex completely put me at ease. I felt like a movie star instead of a 50 year old mum and I had so many comments about my makeup. Thank you Alex I felt so glamorous. I wish I could make myself look like that maybe I need to book a makeup lesson next?

bridesmaid makeup
I have lupus so need good make up to cover the red rash on my skin (cheeks and nose etc). Alex did an amazing job and it stayed on all day. She asked exactly what i wanted which was natural and dewy. Everyone said I looked amazing. I wish I could do my make up like it everyday! She also did false eyelashes which I've only ever had once before and they stayed on too and look great on the photos. thank you.
