    Brilliant!

    Caroline was so lovely and really helped us feel relaxed and beautiful on the day!
    The trial was also really helpful and I've come away with some useful hints and tips.

    Incredibly talented and a lovely person to work with

    I’m so glad I chose Caroline as the makeup artist for our wedding (12.10). She’s incredibly talented and a lovely person to work with. Myself, my bridesmaid and my mum were showered with compliments on our beautiful makeup, which lasted the whole day and was exactly what we envisioned. Working with Caroline couldn't have run smoother, from initial contact, to the make up trial and the main event, everything was perfect. A massive thank you from all of us for making us look and feel fabulous!

    Hi Sophie!
    Well, thank you for those kind words. It really means a lot to me. It was a lovely relaxing morning! And you looked incredible as a bride! I can’t wait to see the professional photos.
    I wish all the best for the future. Xx

    Incredible Wedding Makeup that lasts the whole day!!

    Georgie and I just wanted to say thank you SO much again for all of your help on our wedding day! Our makeup was incredible and lasted amazingly all the way until the end of the night! You went completely above and beyond not only doing our makeup, but with helping with our mums/sisters, trying to find missing bridesmaids for the photographer - you’re an absolute Angel! We appreciated everything you did for us so so so much! We’d recommend you to absolutely anyone who is looking to have the best wedding makeup artist ever and just an overall lovely human to get ready with on their big day ❤️

    Caroline Barnes's reply:

    Thank you so so much for your kind words. They mean a lot to me.
    It was a pleasure to make you look both fabulous. You looked amazing and I am glad you felt it too.
    Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together. xx

    Really happy with my wedding make up!

    The absolute best thing about working with Caroline was that she listened to my feedback following our trial and made some changes on the wedding day. She changed my look from ‘lovely’ to ‘wow’! I had a specific request to help improve the look of my hooded eyelids, and she did a great job. She also did a light bit of make up for my flower girl, and pitched it perfectly.
    The experience of going to the trial at Caroline’s was really easy and relaxed, and it was a great opportunity to get to know Caroline and how she works, as well as for her to be introduced to my face!
    Caroline has a lovely calm and professional vibe about her, which is exactly what you need on your wedding day! Thank you very much for working your magic, Caroline!

    Amazing experience!

    Caroline made me look so beautiful on my wedding day, I felt amazing, special, confident and I had so many compliments. Caroline is professional, exceptionally talented, knowledgeable, patient, punctual, warm, friendly, listens to you to achieve the look you want. My main concern was my make up would not last from 1pm through to 12 midnight. Caroline said it would…indeed it did. I would use Caroline for any special occasion. I couldn’t recommend her more!

    Very talented make up artist

    I booked Caroline for make up for myself, my bridesmaid and my mother in law for my wedding day. Communication with Caroline leading up to the wedding was very good and Caroline was prompt and on time the morning of the wedding. Caroline is very talented in what she does and was able to make last minute changes upon request with ease and without any fuss. Caroline made me look the best possible version of myself. I would highly recommend.

    Caroline Barnes's reply:

    Thank you so much Christine! I really appreciate it! You looked amazing! It was a pleasure to be part of your wedding! 😊

    Professional, Warm and Welcoming

    Caroline did the make up for my wife for our wedding in 2010 she did beautiful makeup and my wife was over the moon.
    Caroline is very professional and exceptional at what she does but most of all she makes you feel comfortable and confident.
    We have also booked Caroline for our daughters birthday parties and 1-2-1 makeup sessions over the years and they love her.
    If you want an exceptional makeup artist but also someone who is warm and welcoming then book CarolineMUA.

    Caroline Barnes's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Cedric. I really appreciate it.
    It was a real pleasure on both occasions.
    Kind regards.

    Excellent make-up

    I cannot recommend Caroline enough, she made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Caroline listened to what I was looking for and created a look that allowed me to feel amazing, whilst still seeing myself through the makeup. She also made myself, my bridesmaids, sister and mum all feel at ease. Thank you so much for adding to what was the most amazing and special day!

    Caroline Barnes's reply:

    Hannah, I am so happy to hear you felt amazing! You looked beautiful in your dress. Thank you so much for those kind words.
    I really appreciate it.
    I wish all the best together.
