Last update: June 2024

Hello! I'm Sali aka Ms Moo Make Up. I'm a wedding makeup artist based in Hockley, in the city centre of Nottingham. While I primarily work within the East Midlands, I'll travel wherever I'm told for weddings - I've done weddings in all across the country, from Croydon to Llangollen as well as Southend-On-Sea to North Yorkshire! :)

I'm on hand to bring your wedding vision to life, making sure I enhance you and your beauty, and accentuating your best features. I love my skincare and creating a beautiful base with the best skin of your life! I've been a wedding makeup after for over 13 years, so I know a thing or two about technique and skill to pay the bills!

I'm 100% cruelty-free makeup artist, and can tailor to a vegan kit too. Being cruelty-free is really important to me, and more and more clients are looking for ethically concious wedding suppliers. It's super important to me that you feel confident on your big day and look picture perfect from first glance to last dance; you and your wedding party will feel as good as you look!

I'm also a member of the LGBTQ+ community - love is love, and I'm very proud that Ms Moo Make Up is a registered safe space in Nottingham on the Notts Trans Hub.

Book Before It’s Too Late! 💖

I wish there was an option to give Sali 10 ⭐️! I have had 2 make up lessons & she did my wedding make up! I cannot get enough! She is one of the most caring & supportive people on top of being extremely talented! If you haven’t booked in with her what are you waiting for!

A wonderful make up artist

From first contacting Sali, I knew they were the absolutely most perfect person to do my make up for my wedding. Sali is so approachable, kind and thoughtful. My make up was perfect and lasted all day. My bridesmaids also felt their best.
Its hard to covey what a perfect addition to the day she was.

Best MUA Ever

Sali was absolutely incredible from the moment I got in contact with her to even after the wedding. My make up was absolutely perfect, it stayed on amazingly all day and she made me so comfortable and relaxed throughout everything. 100% recommend!

Supberb, Friendly, Professional and Talented

I couldn't have picked a better person to do my make up on my wedding day than Sali. I chose her initially because I loved the photos of her work and could see lots of the make up looks she created for others on me. I was looking for something classy and not too over the top - something that really reflected who I am and Sali delivered in spades. During my trial, she made me feel at ease and asked me lots of questions about how I usually do my make up to make sure I was comfortable and we built a look collaboratively. On the wedding day, she was such a calm yet fun presence as we got ready. She did make up for me and my mum and gave me a great touch up kit (including a full size lipstick!) to keep me going - it wasn't needed as the make up stayed so well, despite the rain and exuberant dancing! Not only is Sali and magnificent make up artist, she is also such a lovely person, caring and inclusive, and I wish I could have her do my make up every day!

Down to earth, fabulous and calm!

I booked Sali- Ms Moo for my wedding on the 24th September 2022. I had to change venue for the morning and she was so flexible and understanding, nothing was too much trouble. I had my trial and I was instantly put at ease, I don’t wear a lot of makeup so wanted something natural, the no makeup, makeup look! The morning of the wedding, she arrived and got us all in order! It was like a military operation 😂 5 bridesmaids and myself to get ready! She ran on time, kept us all calm and provided the banter! Value for money was spot on, you get a little survival bag for the day too which includes a full size lipstick of your colour choice. I would 100% book Sali again, no questions asked! X

Perfection

What can I say, from the very first message I received from Sali I felt I was in excellent hands and I wasn’t wrong, she made me and my party look beautiful so much so I’m trying to talk my now husband into treating me to the 1-2-1 makeup lesson for Christmas 🤞

Beautiful!

I'm not one who wears makeup a lot of the time so I wasn't really sure what I wanted for my wedding. Sali really made me feel at ease, during the trial and on my wedding day! The trial was great, we went through what I would normally wear when I did wear make up, what sort of colours I wanted and gave me some really good advice (especially about moisturisering, which I have continued to do!). On the wedding day, Sali was great! Really enjoyed the morning getting ready and that shade of lipstick is defo my colour! Still keep most of the touch up pack in my handbag today! Thank you Sali for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

Sali is great

What a wonderful person Sali is. She is professional but chatty and made us all feel at ease. She accommodated all our requests including putting some foundation on my Indian husband and working round an eye problem my mum had. We all looked gorgeous afterwards too. She also gave me a little goody bag to keep my makeup and myself looking fabulous all day long. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.

My Wedding hero!

Thanks to the nonsense of the last year, postponing our wedding meant we lost the makeup artist I'd hired. After much frantic Googling I found Sali and was sure she would be fully booked. Thankfully for me she wasn't and she even managed to accommodate a second date change.
The trial was so reassuring and she couldn't have been more helpful with my follow up requests.
On the day her calm vibe was just what I needed, she absolutely nailed everyone's looks and I felt like a million dollars.
I can't thank Sali enough for being a part of the day ❤️

I felt a million dollars!

Wasnt really sure what to expect from having a bridal trial but it’s so worth doing. Sali was really great at adapting the look I wanted when we did the trial. We brought the wedding forward due to Covid & we’re lucky that all our suppliers were able to join on new date. Things ran smoothly on the morning of the wedding when applying the make up but it’s really Sali’s years of doing this and helpful advice and tips that make a bride feel calm and not get stressed. She also had interesting ideas for extra shots for the photographer which I can’t wait to see. That first view standing in front of the mirror with dress, hair, make up and bouquet was second to none bridal experience.

Grounded, funny and understanding - spot on!

Sali did a full trial followed by make-up on the day for myself, mum and sister in June 2023. We decided to go all-out and get a trial booked for everyone because my mum and sister never wear make-up at all, they wanted chance to practice not rubbing their face by accident during the day, and to make sure we all felt really comfortable with the MUA. Sali was spot on in combining their preferences and favourite colours in a way that was just stunning on both of them.

I didn’t think I’d have much of a problem picking out a make-up look with an MUA for my big day because I’m usually very laid back when doing-up my own face, make-it-up-as-you-go-along, doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect, etc. But when I sat in the chair in front of Sali in her Nottingham studio, that went completely out of the window, and I realised I actually really struggle with visualisation, and couldn’t picture how trends or colours that I love might look on my own face. What an awkward moment to realise that I don’t really know what I like! Sali was so calm about it, I went back for a second trial just the two of us and she really helped me work it out by going step by step through the process, helping me articulate what I did and didn’t like as we put the look together. Her patience was incredible, and I swear that’s the best my skin has ever looked!

On the day, Sali kept us all, a bunch of anxious introverts, relaxed with a bit of banter between the hairstylist and photographer, so that getting ready was a piece of cake. It was important to me not to be hanging around getting more and more nervous, they timed the hair and make-up perfectly and the whole prep-time went so quickly. Sali was hugely attentive to the mood and the nerves in the room too, and was incredibly grounding with lots of reminders to drink a bit more water, deep breaths, shake out the tension etc. She was an absolute superstar. My only regret is not making a note of the brand and shade foundation she used on me! Thank you x

The Best x

Sali did such an amazing job as my wedding MUA, she fit in me, 4 bridesmaids and my mum with no stress. Not only did she get my makeup exactly how I wanted, she helped keep me calm, reminding me to breathe and keep sipping my fizz! Thank you so much for everything Sali x

Extremely happy with Sali

Sali was extremely friendly, down to earth and great to work with. She was accommodating for our date as we didn't have many months to plan the wedding. On the wedding day she stayed around to help out until I left in the wedding car. Thanks Sali.

Sali is the best!

From the first initial contact Sali was so lovely and friendly! She was happy to make changes when I kept adding more people on which I'm so grateful for. Sali made me feel relaxed and confident at the make up trial and listened to all my concerns. The morning of the wedding Sali was prompt and professional and was such a lovely addition to the fun of getting ready. All of my bridesmaids commented on how lovely she was and how much they liked their make up! I really loved the way she did my make up for the day and am really glad we were able to book her services. Thanks Sali!!

Sali goes above and beyond and truly knows how to make you feel at ease on your big day.
She has such a great sense of humor and keeps everything lighthearted whilst transforming you into a glowing bride. I usually don’t think very highly of myself but even I thought i was looking AMAZING on my big day.
My makeup lasted the whole day and night without any need for a touch up.
I can not thank her enough!
