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.

Sali is Incredible!

Sali did my makeup for my wedding in October, alongside the makeup of my two bridesmaids! Our makeup looked amazing and lasted all day. I felt like the best version of myself, rather than looking like someone completely different.

Sali is a wonderful person to have around on the morning of your wedding. She is easy to get along with and is great to have a laugh with. She is also a calming presence when the panic sets in! She goes beyond doing makeup and also acts as a therapist, and a shoe doer-upper!

So good I booked her twice!

I first met Sali in 2016 when I booked her for my wedding.

I knew from the first contact I’d chosen the right make up artist! I had a wonderful trial and felt completely at ease, and walked out feeling like the best version of myself and with lots of tips too.
On the wedding day she accommodated a ridiculously early start to get my bridal party and I ready on time. She was an absolute joy to have around on the the morning of the wedding.

Fast forward 6 years… a divorce, a baby and another wedding to plan! The first person I contacted was Sali, I just knew I didn’t want anyone else for my make up.

We had another great trial and an even better catch up! The morning of the wedding was just as great, with Sali working her magic on younger bridesmaids and older family members, with age appropriate and beautiful results. She helped out with my dress and anything else we needed, bringing humour, reassurance and her fabulous self to what can be a stressful morning. I’ll always be grateful we had her around (again!)

Should I need her for a third time, I wouldn’t hesitate! But let’s hope not…! ❤️

Sali is the perfect makeup artist for your perfect day ✨️

Sali is an amazing wedding makeup artist. She is knowledgeable, creative, and oh so talented! What I loved about my experience with Sali is that I felt comfortable from our very first trial session. She took the time to get to know what I liked and we explored what the best options were for me and my personality. On the day itself, Sali was so supportive, making us all laugh and keeping us relaxed so my bridesmaids and I could enjoy getting ready with no stress. Every detail has been thought of, including the little pack of survival bits and pieces to keep you looking your best all day. 100% recommend!

It’s a nice day for a black wedding!

An absolute pleasure and delight! Everything went so well and my make up was a frickin’ dream! Sali made my morning equal parts calm and entertaining! Could not recommend more! A must have for Alt brides who want full coverage that lasts into the night! Thank you so much Sali, you pink haired legend! 🖤🖤🖤

The best of the best!!

Sali was incredible, from the moment I had my trial to the day she was super thoughtful, the wedding survival kit is such a fantastic touch. On the day she won’t just do your makeup, she will make sure you as a bride are looked after! She saved my day by being the only person to get me in my dress!
The makeup itself was absolutely stunning, I felt like me but better, it lasted so well, felt natural and not heavy.
I’ve since had my makeup done a few times since and everytime felt uncomfortable and caked and have not enjoyed it!
Thank you Sali for making my day the best xx
