Beyond Grateful – A Wedding Glam Dream Team!

I truly don’t have enough words to express how incredible Sylvie and her amazing assistant Naveen were on my wedding day. After a previous hair and makeup trial disaster, I was feeling nervous and a bit wary, but Sylvie completely turned that experience around. From the moment she arrived, her bubbly, warm, and bright energy filled the room, instantly putting me at ease. She wasn’t just a hair and makeup artist, she became a calming presence and a true part of the wedding morning magic.

Sylvie and Naveen did the hair and makeup for me (the bride), four bridesmaids, and two mothers, and every single one of us looked and felt absolutely stunning. She listened to what each of us wanted and somehow made it all look effortless, enhancing our natural features rather than masking them. I received so many compliments throughout the day, and I honestly felt the most beautiful I ever have, like the very best version of myself.

What made the experience even more special was how Sylvie and Naveen truly joined the celebration, they bopped and sang along to my wedding morning playlist, filling the room with fun and joy. It felt like getting ready with friends. They slipped into the day like they were part of the family, so natural, warm, and full of light. The vibe was calm, organised, and filled with laughter, and everyone was ready on time without ever feeling rushed.

If you’re looking for someone who not only brings unbelievable skill, but also heart, warmth, and good energy to one of the most important mornings of your life, Sylvie is that person. Thank you, Sylvie and Naveen, for making me feel radiant and truly cared for. You are magic.

Absolutely Incredible!

Sylvie was amazing from start to finish! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful at my trial - making sure I was really happy with everything, giving me the opportunity to ask questions and taking the time to really understand me and my skin. On my wedding day she was such a calming presence and again made me look and feel so beautiful! The makeup literally lasted from 10am to 12am!

Makeup and hair

Had booked with another makeup artist before I found Sylvie and was very dissapointed. Found Sylvie, went for a trial and was over the moon, I had found a gem! She listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly! She was very professional and a perfectionist and would finish her work only when I was happy. On top of that, she was very down to earth and so fun to talk to and i felt very safe with her! My sisters and mom also loved her work. I couldnt recommend Sylvie more for soon to be brides, you will not regret it!!

The girl squad A-team you want with you on your special day

Sylvie was amazing from the initial consultation right until the end. Sylvie made me feel at ease instantly upon meeting her and the trial was so relaxed and special.

During the trial, Sylvie spent hours on my hair clipping it up (I say hours because my hair is very thick) and I loved it. We tried on my different veils (I had 2 for the day) to make sure they sat & felt right. But it wasn’t until later that day that I took all the pins out of my hair and actually loved (even more) the effortless but glam curls that were left behind when my hair was down. I felt guilty that I now wanted my hair down for my special day after Sylvie had spent so much time pinning it up. I messaged Sylvie my thoughts and straight away she was more than accommodating in doing a 2nd trial free of charge for my hair to be half up/half down.

Sylvie listened to every detail of my make up requests as I wanted a minimalistic look so I could still see my freckles and nothing too heavy on the eyes. It was PERFECT and lasted ALL day & night.

Sylvie went above and beyond in the trial and on my wedding day with her assistant. I had 4 bridesmaid and my mum, all who were having a mixture of hair & make up done and Sylvie’s team were amazing!! The atmosphere in the morning was so relaxed and everyone teamed together; Sylvie’s team, photographer, videographer and bridal party to make the morning very special.

I couldn’t recommend a better or more professional makeup artist/hair stylist. Honestly, thank you SO much.

Amazing from start to finish

I met Sylvie at a wedding fair and she made me feel at ease straight away. I don't wear much make up and was worried about looking too made-up for my wedding but she listened to my concerns and gave me a lovely classic look (both hair and make up). After my wedding I booked a private make-up lesson with her and it was so lovely to catch up as she was genuinely interested to hear how the day had gone.

Sylvie was exceptional in every way. She helped make my special day even more special. She is attentive, personable, patient, professional, friendly….all the things you would want your make-up artist to be. She was more like a friend. Everyone said my make-up looked natural and stunning and was asking who my make-up artist was. I would highly recommend Sylvie. She took the ideas I had about how I wanted my make-up to be and went above and beyond my expectations. I would strongly and highly recommend her for any occasion….she’s the BEST!!!. Thank you so much Sylvie

Best make-up I ever had!

Sylvie is a fantastic and sophisticated make-up artist. She came home and we discussed what I like. She made great suggestions for my skin tone, eyes colour, the shape of my lips, etc. She gave me some tips for doing my make-up by myself as well. She also did my hair very professionally and it suited me well. I felt beautiful and received a lot of compliments. The make-up really worked well on pictures.

The best make up ever on my special day!

Felt like such a princess on my big day. Sylvie made me feel so at ease and was happy to switch things up last minute! There was no request too big! Absolutely loved how bubbly and friendly Sylvie was too really calmed by nerves on my big day and make up looked amazing which lasted all night!

A truly tailored experience

A makeup experience that was truly tailored to who I am inside and out, Sylvie really took the time to prep my skin and nourish it, and ask what I wanted and what I felt comfortable with. With her in depth knowledge and empathetic nature, she then pushed me just a little out of my comfort zone. The result was unbelievable, felt so good, glowed, lasted all day and night! Thank you for making me feel so special Sylvie.

Listened too and comfortable

Sylvie did my make up for my wedding day. I’m not someone who wears make up on a day to day basis, so was very nervous about my wedding make up. She made me feel completely at ease, listened to what I wanted but also suggested things that I would never have tried. I still felt like me on the day and was very comfortable with what she did. I’ve never felt so good, I can’t thank you enough x

Incredibly talented and patient

Where do I begin? Sylvie did my makeup for my destination wedding in Dubai. Not only was the makeup stunning, she was EXTREMELY patient and attentive to my needs. Sylvie is every bride’s dream makeup artist.

Wedding makeup

Sylvie did makeup for myself, my mum and my bridesmaid for my wedding in 2012. I loved my makeup and it has dated really well. She interpreted my idea perfectly and had some great suggestions which I hadn't thought of. The makeup lasted all day. Sylvie is a wonderful person to have around on your wedding day. She is warm and has such a positive energy and also very professional and experienced.
