Wouldn't have wanted anyone else.

Gosh Sophie where do I even begin. From start to finish Sophie was so professional and reliable, and I fully respected her knowledge and skill. Absolute miracle worker with all of my bridal party. Even keeping my aunt calm when she became a bit light-headed or giving suggestions for hair styles as we were getting ready. Sophie listened to what I wanted whilst also giving expert suggestions. I had a bridal makeup trial a couple of months before the wedding and Sophie listened to me and delivered when I asked on the wedding day if we could apply black eyeliner as this felt more me. Her style is incredible and all of my bridal party looked stunning. The makeup stayed perfect though tears, rain and humidity. Sophie helped me with my veil as well as showing my bridesmaid how to fasten the many buttons down my dress. She was a fun yet calming presence all morning. I've honestly never felt so beautiful in all of my life, thank you for making my 7 year old inner self, dressed up in the wedding fancy dress I insisted my dad get me, look like the Disney princess I always wanted to be. ❤

Amazing woman

Sophie has been absolutely fantastic! I didn't know where to start when trying to find a makeup artist for my special day, as I'm quite pale and didn't want to look too different on the day!

I'm so happy that I found Sophie as she completely understood my needs from day one and knew exactly what to do. She is such a pleasure to be around and made everybody feel so comfortable. Even at our makeup trial, we had such a lovely afternoon just getting to know her and trying different styles.

I hardly felt any anxiety on the morning of my wedding and that was mostly down to Sophie and how relaxed and beautiful she made me feel.

I 1000% recommend Sophie. I have never felt more beautiful and I cannot thank her enough for that ❤️

Beautiful makeup

Sophie was fabulous for my wedding. She was relaxed, friendly and accommodating. Did a beautiful job on myself and all 4 bridesmaids for my wedding in June this year. Would def recommend to other brides. She was chatty and fit in really well with our group all together on the morning of the wedding.

Sophie and her hair stylist Rach did an amazing job both at my trial and on the big day!

On the day, Sophie went over my feedback from my initial trial and created a look that was 100000% what I imagined I’d look like on the day - I still felt like me, and the makeup lasted all day! I have quite textured and oily skin but Sophie must have used magic, that’s the only explanation because it just did not budge!

My young bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup too and my mum as well.

I would definitely recommend Sophie to others - so quick to reply, lovely and so easy to chat to! PLUS helped me get into my dress and put my shoes on for me afterwards!! Amazing service and a true professional- Thank you so much

The best sister for your wedding day!


Oh where do you even start on writing a review for Sophie! No matter how much I write she deserves so much more and since I booked her I’ve not shut up about her I could write so much! Since I knew I was getting married I was straight on Hitched looking for a bridal artist and Sophie’s profile always had me going back, just her words and the way she came across on her profile was exactly what I wanted and then I looked at her instagram and that was it! I knew it was her I wanted as my bridal artist, she was everything I wanted looking at her work as I wanted a more soft/natural look and she was just everything I wanted as a person to get me ready for my big day. From the get go she was just really approachable and was there for you with any questions or concerns. She just gave me the vibes I wanted and I hadn’t even met her yet! Then I had my trial and from the first 5 minutes of meeting her I knew I made the right choice, she listened to EVERYTHING to the tiny small details and all in between and it was so nice being listened to. She gave suggestions and I explained the kind of make up I wanted, what I liked, didn’t like and she asked questions I hadn’t even thought of! And from all the info I gave and from showing her my inspo pictures she couldn’t have surprised me more. She absolutely smashed it. I loved it! I couldn’t stop looking at myself. She left giving me some skincare tips which was really appreciated and again didn’t even think of doing and I had a massive smile on my face after the trial! My big day came and I know I would not of been as relaxed and calm if it was not for Sophie, she is the reason I didn’t have a big panic. And as for my make up and hair on the day I looked in the mirror and it was the first time I thought “oh wow I actually look pretty” and that was all down to Sophie. It was just like my trial but somehow better? My skin was so much better from her tips she gave me too and my makeup and hair lasted all day and I was given so many compliments. There was not one bit I would have changed which never happens when I’ve had my makeup done in the past. I cannot recommend Sophie enough, I will never shut up about her. It was like just having your sister do your makeup and hair that is the way I can describe Sophie. She is just the calm presence you need on your wedding day and there if you need anything. I could not of been happier and I’m so over the moon she was my bridal artist, anyone would be lucky to have her. She is just a bright calming presence, wonderful and certainly special person and I really do hope our paths cross again. Thank you for everything Sophie and I wish you all the luck for the future you deserve it so much. Thank you for being a sister to me on my wedding day xxx

Fabulous Makeup Artist

Sophie is incredible! I was a little nervous about having my wedding makeup done as I don’t really wear any but Sophie made me feel so comfortable all the way through. As soon as I’d booked Sophie we had a little phone call so she could get a feel for what I wanted on my wedding day - during this call she also recommended some products so I could start a proper skin care routine which worked wonderfully. Sophie was so attentive at my trial and really listened to what I wanted - she was able to create a look that made me feel my absolute best but it wasn’t too much, I still looked like me but flawless! On the wedding morning it was like having another bestie with us, Sophie was so chilled and calm and went above and beyond - from getting my veil in perfectly to putting one of my bridesmaid’s shoes on for her! I really couldn’t recommend Sophie more, she is just fabulous at her job and brings the perfect energy to the wedding morning!

Sophie is the goddess of make up artistry! Absolutely faultless experience with her.

I honestly would not hesitate to recommend Sophie to any bride. She is wonderful, caring, understanding and also conducts her business with professionalism and precision. From the outset, she was very open and honest about the time needed for what I was asking for and delivered the perfect balance of offering suggestions and support and listening to my ideas. She made me feel instantly comfortable and at ease, which is SUCH an important factor on the morning of your wedding. We spent hours together and she is such a positive, bright and calming presence to have with you whilst getting ready. She also went above and beyond with helping to put my hair accessories in and even gave me a spare brush to help top up my make up if needed! However I can honestly say I did not need to touch up my make up once all day, as she uses amazing products and puts them on expertly. I cannot thank Sophie enough for everything that she did for me on my wedding day!

Perfection

Sophie and her team were absolutely incredible. Very easy to contact and she stayed in contact up to the morning of the wedding to help plan the day. Very relaxed and easy going to help keep everyone’s nerves at bay but also incredibly professional and efficient. We had 10 people having hair and make up and she still managed to finish us earlier than expected to allow extra time for touch ups and photos. Everyone’s make up was stunning and I can honestly say I’ve never felt or looked better. Would recommend her to everyone - thank you Sophie ♥️

Makes you feel like you!

I have always known how I like to look, and I'm usually quite wary of having my makeup done by others, for fear of them not listening to what I want and end up looking nothing how I pictured. For a while, I was intent on doing my own wedding makeup... until finding Sophie!

My mum found Sophie's website, and I really liked her style, and outlook on makeup. I really like how Sophie asks you what you like about pictures, and takes the time to understand how you want to look on your special day. She explains what is or isn't achievable (i.e. certain pictures have filters/editing).
I really appreciated the time Sophie took to help me achieve the right look, and I took on board her suggestions of skincare in the lead up to my wedding. I also really appreciated how patient she was with not only letting me have 2 trials, but also letting my mum/sister/nan have trials too, and for coming to us.

I knew I wanted to look like myself, and to have a timeless look that was polished, and lasted all day. Sophie certainly smashed this brief! I also loved how Sophie took the time to advise which lip products she used on me, and a good dupe that I could purchase for top-ups throughout the day.

One of the main reasons why I chose Sophie to do my wedding makeup was because I liked her energy, and wanted that on my wedding morning. I also knew she would have us all ready on time and do a fabulous job!
Sophie stayed right until just before I got in to the Wedding Car to be taken to Church, to make sure everything was perfect before I left. She really does go the extra mile!
I was so happy with the way the makeup lasted, and I was so sad to take it off at the end of the night.

Wish I could get married all over again so I can have this experience getting all glammed up again, it really was such a special part of my day.

Thank you Sophie, and wishing you the best day ever on your own wedding day soon!

Sophie is talented, a complete professional, and endlessly patient!

Sophie did my bridal hair and make up, and my maid of honour’s hair and make up on my wedding day a couple of weeks ago. Sophie was brilliant and we both loved our looks! I’d travelled to Sophie’s home for my trial a few months before and she was very patient with me as we trialled a couple of different looks, and she then made time for me at short notice when I wanted a trial for a different hairstyle two weeks before the wedding! On the day Sophie was lovely to have about as we all got ready, calmed me down for the moments I felt a bit anxious, and made me look and feel completely beautiful (something I don’t tend to feel about myself very often!). My hair stayed in place all night and having Sophie about for touch ups was well worth the extra cost in my opinion as it meant crying and sweating was no issue!! Thank you so much Sophie, you were very confident that you’d be able to deliver the exact look I was after and you didn’t disappoint!!!! L xxxxx

Queen of Makeup

Honestly I couldn’t be happier with how everything went with Sophie in the lead up to and on the morning of the wedding. She helps you to look like the best version of yourself. So when you look in the mirror, you don’t see someone you don’t recognise, you see a glowing version of yourself. She was great at tweaking little things from the trial and made sure I was happy. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup, too! Couldn’t recommend Sophie highly enough. She’s very friendly and professional and brings the perfect kind of energy you want on your wedding morning. Thank you!!!!!!
