Aldona is Amazing!

Aldona was great & I am so glad I had her as my make up artist! From the start she jumped on calls with me to go through any questions I had before I booked. Trial day she gave me recommendations on things I could do to help prep my skin before the big day. On the day she bought lots of enthusiasm & also took loads of photos which was a bonus! My bridesmaids were really happy with their make up also & they all looked beautiful. Aldona is really skilled in what she does, would recommend. Thank you Aldona!

Absolutely perfect!!

I met Aldona months ago for my trial makeup, and I just adored her from the start. My makeup was so stunning and flawless, it made me so excited for the wedding makeup.. then it came to the day and WOW, I didn’t think it could look any better. She smashed it, gave me exactly what I wanted, even down to the tiny details which I am so picky with! My makeup stayed on all day through a LOT of tears, I have never felt so beautiful.

She also did all my bridesmaid’s makeup and they all absolutely loved it so much, she was great with the younger girls, as well as my mother in law who in her own words said “I have never had so many compliments.. maybe I am beautiful?” 🥹🙏🏻❤️

Thank you, Aldona is kind, funny and really talented.

The most beautiful make up

Aldona is the most incredible make up artist, we got married in 32 degree heat and the make up did not move, we ran into a field for photos and felt like it was sweating off but every time I checked the make up was still absolutely perfect. I even ended up falling asleep in it and the next day it still looked good! Aldona is lovely as well, you have have a laugh and she puts you at ease, she is the most amazing woman. Thank you, I’ve never felt more beautiful!

Absolutely Amazing ❤️

Aldona did my bridal makeup up along with MOH and mothers of bride and groom and she was amazing! Super friendly and worked well with us on adjustments from trial and building up my bridal look. Our wedding was in 32-34 degrees heat so I thought I would sweat it all off but the makeup lasted all day and night and I still felt amazing at the end of the night! I cannot rate highly enough! Thank you Aldona for making me feel the most beautiful I had ever felt! Photos added from different stages of the day to show how well it lasted!!

Amazing! Highly recommend!

Aldona is an expert MUA, she knows her stuff about the products to use for all types of skin. I wanted natural makeup for my wedding and didn't give a lot of direction as I don't wear makeup too often and I felt beautiful they way she did it! My bridesmaid on the other hand had pictures and ideas and more of a heavy look and she was really happy with Aldonas work. I had lots of compliments all day about my makeup and how it suited me a lot. I was surprised at the cost as well as I'd message a few different MUA and Aldona's prices are very reasonable for the skill level she has. Would definitely recommend!

Talent and personality

Aldona made my face up beautifully for a wedding. She prepped the face so that it lasted all day and night and probably the next two days if I hadn't have taken it off! More than that, the experience was unforgettable. This woman has personality for days. She really set the tone for the best wedding day 💒💝

I felt fabulous- 5*

My friend treated me to my make up for an evening out who already knew and recommended Aldona. I was put at ease and could tell that Aldona knew her stuff by her confidence, friendliness and professionalism just knowing what would suit me as I don’t normally wear make up and as I am older as well, I was a little concerned that I would end up looking like an old clown. She also advised on my dry skin and I felt absolutely amazing when she was finished. Would thoroughly recommend Aldona

Aldona is remarkable - Flawless Bridal Makeup

I cannot recommend Aldona highly enough. I chose not to book a trial for my wedding, as her experience, awards, and glowing reviews gave me complete confidence in her. She listened carefully to what I wanted and created a look that felt like the best version of myself. My makeup was flawless, photographed beautifully, and lasted all day and night. Aldona was calm, friendly, funny, and incredibly professional, which made such a difference on the morning of the wedding. I felt amazing — thank you for being such a special part of our day! xx

Amazing, make up lasted all day!

My makeup was absolutely stunning and stayed flawless from morning all the way through the night. Whatever magic Aldona works during the skin prep is incredible—I'm not sure exactly what she does, but the makeup never budges and always looks smooth, fresh, and perfectly blended.

Aldona herself is an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s consistently punctual, incredibly kind, and refreshingly honest about what will complement your features. Her professional eye and gentle approach make the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. I always leave feeling confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of.

Birthday party

I had such a great experience! She listened to exactly what I wanted and created the perfect look for my event. My makeup was soft, glowy, and stayed put the whole evening. I’ll definitely book again.
