If you’re looking for a bridal make up artist look no further!

Billie-Rae was amazing! During my trial, Billie-Rae made me feel comfortable sitting in the chair as I was a little nervous! She asked lots of questions to find out what I wanted my make up to look like. I absolutely loved my look and got so many compliments on it and how natural it looked! Before the wedding Billie-are sent across a detail timesheet of what to expect on the day so that we were prepared and ready to go! On the wedding morning itself Billie-Rae arrived with a giant smile and a calming presence ready to get me, my MOH & the MOB ready for the day. Two people who never really wear make up and have not stopped talking about how confident they felt since! I’m so glad I chose Billie-Rae for my wedding day. Thank you so again so much, you made us all feel fab! 🫶🏻 x

Fabulous!!

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. Billie was so lovely from start to finish and made the whole morning feel so relaxed. She really listened to what I wanted and absolutely nailed it.
I don't normally wear loads of makeup, so I wanted to still feel like me, just a bit more glam, and that's exactly what she did. I felt so confident walking down the aisle, and my makeup stayed put all day, even in the ridiculous heat!
Thank you so much for making me feel amazing on our wedding day. I'll be recommending you to everyone. You're so talented and such a genuinely lovely person.

Billie is the Best

Billie was one of the first suppliers I booked for my Halloween, goth wedding!
I wanted someone who would be flexible and bring a friendly fun atmosphere to our big day and Billie was the only option for make up. My makeup lasted all night .. and morning 😂 and I felt like a princess 👸 Billie also helped with the last touches at the end of the morning too with was beyond the call of duty. You made our day so perfect:
Thank you Billie
