Absolutely incredible

Aldona is just amazing - I would highly recommend. Everyone was commenting on my makeup all day and I’ve had lots of people asking who my makeup artist was. She was also super helpful, approachable and really fun so as well as being an excellent makeup artist, she’s also a great addition to the party too!

100% Recommend

Aldona was amazing from the first email. She was always super quick to reply and friendly. She brought such a positive and relaxed vibe to the morning of the wedding while getting ready. Her work is absolutely unreal and our whole wedding party loved the make up she did. I would book Aldona every time.

Run don’t walk to book Aldona!

Aldona is the best of the best.

Aldona nails the brief every time and is an incredibly skilled artist. She listens to your vision and brings it to life. Aldona’s service from makeup trials, skin prep advice and matching colour palettes can’t be faulted.
No ask is too much or job too big.

110% would recommend, Aldona.

Bridal Make up

I could not recommend Aldona enough; I came across her after she did a couple of my friends wedding make up, and both friends absolutely loved her. She is genuinely an artist, my wedding make up was more than I could have imagined and I felt beautiful all day. I had a trial before the day and was happy to be led by Aldona and what she thought would work for me and the general look I was going for. She was so incredible helpful, both with the make up and skin prep leading up to the day. The morning of my wedding, she was fantastic, her attention to detail is 100% and we laughed and giggled whilst getting ready. Her skills go way beyond just applying make up - she really knows skin types, colouring, colour matching, how the products work and last, and is more than happy to make recommendations and listen to any feedback. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough - she’s just fab!!! X

Wedding make up

I searched for a make up artist that I felt could cater for my look ( I wanted soft glam) and I got it!
Aldona was at the venue before me, all set up and ready to go.
She really listened to what I wanted.
Besides that,v she was very helpful.
Even had a cuddle with one of the babies before she left.
Can't rate enough !
Thanks Aldona X

Absolutely flawless throughout! BEST makeup artist

As soon as I found Aldona I knew she was the one I wanted to do my wedding makeup. From the trial to the wedding day she was absolutely flawless. She’s the most friendly and down to earth makeup artist and she calmed all of our nerves on the day. My bridesmaids and I looked absolutely stunning and our makeup lasted the whole entire day without fading at all. I would recommend Aldona to anyone wanting perfect makeup for any event or their wedding day!

Wedding makeup

Aldona is amazing! She was the makeup artist for the bride, bridesmaids and mother of the bride and groom. She accommodated her skills so suit all of our skin types and we all had such a beautiful glow which lasted all day and night! She stayed until the very end for final touch ups before we walked down the aisle and was even taking some of our photos! She’s so funny and made the bride feel at ease all morning! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Thank you Aldona for working your magic and making me feel so special

Aldona , I can’t thank you enough for making me feel so special and confident at my best friends wedding by doing my make up. You brought a real buzz the morning of the wedding and made us all feel so special. I had compliments all day and night about my make up so really can’t thank you enough!

A truly amazing makeup artist!

I am so glad to have chosen Aldona as my wedding makeup artist. She's just fantastic! Very professional, skilled and a delight to be around. I had a makeup trial this weekend and she listened to what I wanted- a natural look that compliments my features and skin tone. I do not normally wear a lot of makeup and I was nervous about having a lot of colour around my eyes especially. The choice of colours and end result has taken me by surprise. I loved it! I look forward to having Aldona recreate the look on my wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great wedding makeup artist!

Amazing make up artist

Aldona is an amazing make-up artist. She did my wedding make-up and made all of the bridal party look gorgeous with simple, glowy looks and everyone’s make-up stayed in-tact all day and evening. I still felt like “me” after the make-up, which was really important to me. At our trial she taught me a lot about skincare and I changed my routine in the 2 months or so pre-wedding to ensure I was using eye cream and hyaluronic acid, which really helped contribute to my look on the day (and which I am continuing to use now!). Aldona is also great fun – we had a good old chat at our trial and she and made us all laugh and have a great time on the morning. Would highly recommend Aldona if you’re looking for wedding make-up!

Wonderful!

Just perfect! I had a trail session with my bridesmaid that went really well. We both felt listened to and our make upideas and likes and dislikes were included in each stage of the make up. When it came to the day Aldona was amazing, she arrived on time, worked really well with my hair dresser and produced beautiful make up that lasted all day long. Aldona also gave me some super skin care tips to prep my skin before my big day and they really helped improve my skin, I was so impressed . I would highly recommend her to any one who is wanting a professional artist to do their make up.
