Reviews for Audrey McCarthy Makeup Artist
Wedding hair and Makeup
They were easy to get on with, and a joy to have around keeping everyone smiling.
We were all given little packs to do touch ups through the day, they were great! We were checked and supported right up until it was time to go to the ceremony.
Our hair and makeup were complimented by everyone, and most importantly my husband.
I would highly recommend using them, and would use them myself in the future as well.
I couldn’t thank them enough!
TEN STARS - no notes!
From reaching out in the initial months, to booking, to trials, to constant comms and to the wedding day itself - Audrey & Shannon were the utmost professionals. Their experience and skill were present in abundance!
They were the perfect extension to the bridal party on the day - their easy nature and comedy fit in seamlessly with the squad whilst sticking to schedule and finishing touch up with plenty of time to spare for pictures, dancing and general horsing around.
I cannot thank them enough and I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect hair and makeup combo for their wedding (or any other event!).
Perfectionists!!

The friendliest MUAs and easiest part of my wedding day!
Thank you Audrey and Shannon for making us all feel our very best, you are both angels ❤️
Absolutely amazing!
A wonderful experience
I had the absolute pleasure of having my makeup done by Audrey for my son’s wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel relaxed, confident, and truly special. Audrey listened carefully to what I wanted—something elegant, timeless, and camera-ready—and she delivered beyond my expectations.
My makeup looked flawless all day and night, even through happy tears and hours of celebration! She enhanced my natural features beautifully without making me feel overdone. I received so many compliments, and I genuinely felt radiant in every photo.
Audrey is not only incredibly skilled and professional, but also warm and calming—exactly the kind of person you want around on such an emotional and important day. I can’t recommend her enough.
Thank you, Audrey, for making me feel beautiful and confident on such a special day!
Highly Recommend
They helped myself, my bridesmaids and mother of the bride all feel like princesses and helped me feel so very special on my big day. They were voices of calm on a morning that could have been so very stressful. They helped keep me grounded and made sure my morning started off in the best way possible. Those qualities do not come with training from their hearts and souls and I am so grateful for having them there.
Their hair and makeup styles suited all age ranges too,from teenage bridesmaids, to middle age and older. Really happy with their service
My wedding Day
The best!
