Bridal party make-up

Bonnie is a friendly, positive and professional person who from the very first message made me feel confident in booking her as my MUA. Both me and my mum had trials with Bonnie a few months before the wedding where we discussed the type of make-up we wanted for our special day. Bonnie also gave her own tips and ideas and we found this to be a really useful experience. Both me and my mum felt like we were in safe hands, especially as we haven’t had our make up professionally done before.

On the wedding morning, Bonnie arrived promptly and had an array of make up products as well as a ring light that she carefully set up before starting. Her whole set up is professional and she used high quality products. Bonnie had a detailed profile of me and my mum ready on her iPad which she had made since the trial to know exactly what we wanted. My mum looked beautiful, and so did my bridesmaids who all had a soft glam.

I could not have been happier with my make-up, especially the colour matching, the blending of products and my eyes looked gorgeous. The lipstick and liner that Bonnie used have both become a firm favourite and are now an essential part of my make-up bag, as I’ve always been lost with choosing a lipstick that suits me. I felt the most beautiful I have ever been on my wedding day and I received many compliments on the day. I was also impressed with how long my make-up lasted! It looked perfect all day and night and I couldn’t believe how intact it was when I came to removing it before bed time at 1am!

Bonnie stayed with me right until the reveal with my dad to ensure that any necessary touch up’s were done. This shows how much pride Bonnie takes in her work.

I would highly recommend Bonnie as an MUA. She is professional from start to finish and a real ray of sunshine on your special day!

Stunning wedding makeup!

Bonnie is a superstar! Bonnie did my bridal makeup, my mother in laws and my mothers makeup and we all absolutely adored our looks. Bonnie really listened and really strived to make sure the makeup was perfect.
My trial was amazing and me and Bonnie got on like a house on fire, this made me so at ease! Our communication was so easy as well.
I felt like princess on my wedding day! I partied quite hard in the evening and makeup did not budge at all. Would highly recommend booking Bonnie for any of your special events!

Incredible!

Bonnie was simply incredible from start to finish. I’m a complete make up novice and she helped guide me through products which were suitable for my skin tone and matched my colour scheme perfectly. On the day Bonnie went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly even helping me into my wedding dress 🙊

I have since used Bonnie for my Graduation make up too and it was just as perfect and lasted all day. 100% recommend Bonnie, she really is a star.

A very happy Bride

Bonnie was the perfect addition to my wedding glam squad! A friendly, calming presence which is exactly what a bride needs on the morning of her big day!
I knew it would go smoothly as I loved my make up at the trial stage but once the whole look came together, it really was perfect!
Bonnie is really knowledgeable on products and skin in general so whoever is lucky enough to book her will be in good hands!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any bride!!

Perfect from start to finish!

From the moment I booked Bonnie for a trial, I was instantly welcomed and felt at ease. Her professionalism and knowledge put me at ease as I was a little nervous about having my makeup done. I walked away amazed! I have never felt so confident in my own skin and couldn't wait for her to recreate this look on my special day!

On the wedding morning Bonnie arrived on time and ready to go, everything was smooth sailing from start to finish. She also stayed right until I walked out the door to the ceremony for last minute touch up for me and the bridesmaids.

I couldn't recommend Bonnie enough for her hard work and her amazing energy and personality on the day. Thank you!
