Brilliant!

Carys was absolutely brilliant on our wedding day! She did both my hair and makeup, as well as my mum’s, and neither of us had ever had it done professionally before. She answered all our questions with so much patience and care, even taking the time to chat with me on the phone to help figure out what kind of extensions I’d need!
From the trial to the wedding morning, everything went so smoothly. Carys had such a calming, reassuring presence on the day, which is exactly what a bride needs. She made us both feel comfortable, confident, and totally looked after.
Carys also helped my dad (who is in a wheelchair) into the bridal suite for my first look with my parents. She truly went above and beyond and was just such a lovely, genuine person to have around on the day. I’d definitely recommend her!

The perfect MUA!

Carys was my makeup artist for our wedding, and from the very beginning of the planning process she was incredibly attentive, supportive, and made everything feel so effortless. On the day itself, she kept everything running smoothly and flawlessly completed the makeup for me, my four bridesmaids, and my mum without ever feeling rushed.

After my trial, Carys made detailed notes about my preferences and any adjustments, which gave me so much confidence going into the big day. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about products, skin types, and how to achieve that perfect bridal glow. My makeup looked absolutely flawless and lasted beautifully all day, and my entire bridal party looked stunning as well.

Beyond her talent, Carys is such a lovely, warm person. Having her there on the morning of the wedding genuinely felt like having an extra friend by my side. I am so pleased I chose Carys for my bridal makeup, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

August Wedding Review

Cary’s was everything you’d wish for as a makeup artist on your wedding day! We met at a wedding fair and I instantly got the feeling that Cary’s was exactly what I was looking for both for makeup and as a warm friendly presence. Her style is natural glam and she listened to exactly what I wanted during my trial and on the day. Communication was great and I loved that I could upload styles that my bridesmaids and I liked to my profile on her page. Cary’s ensured that everyone would get the services they needed, even getting two more wonderful people to support with hair and makeup who were also amazing and put my bridesmaids at ease and made them look even more stunning. My makeup lasted all day and all night and my bridesmaids even got little top ups of their lipsticks.

100% Recommend!

I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist/hair stylist for my wedding!

From the first email exchange Carys put me at ease and made me feel confident in my decision of selecting her for myself and my bridesmaids on the wedding day.

On the day, Carys created the most beautiful glowy, natural make up look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Also doing an amazing job with my hair which normally falls out very quickly and beautiful make up for my bridesmaids.

Carys is truly the loveliest person and made the morning of the wedding as stress free as possible, fitting in perfectly with my bridesmaids and family.

I would 100% recommend Carys' services to any future bride/bridesmaids.

Fantastic MUA experience

Carys was an absolute delight to work with!

Her knowledge of different makeup products, techniques and styles put me so at ease. I am not a person who wears make up that often so I was very nervous about feeling cakey or the colour mismatching but this was not something I needed to be at all concerned with with Carys in charge.

She made my bridesmaids and I all feel confident and comfortable on my big day and I would highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone looking to feel beautiful for any occasion 🥰

Thank you, Carys!

Carys, I cannot thank you enough for making me feel so perfect on my wedding day. Everything was exactly how I wanted it - from my hair from all angles, to how my skin had the perfect glow and eyes popped. All of my bridesmaids also felt at their best!
In addition, thank you for going above and beyond within capturing some lovely natural videos and photos when other suppliers were running a little late. You’re a star!

A true asset to any wedding!

A review really can't convey how lovely and incredible Carys is. I initially had Carys as a MUA at my Cousin's wedding and knew immediately I needed her at mine too. She's so talented at what she does and takes the time to make sure you're 100% happy with your look. She also has a real calming presence that is a nice escape from the stresses of the day.
Carys went above and beyond at my wedding, a true fairy godmother! I felt so beautiful and my bridal party looked amazing. I honestly can't recommend her enough.

I could not have asked for anyone better

Carys really went above and beyond for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day, her work is incredible - not just with makeup but the hair too. The range of hair styles and makeup she can do is fantastic and everyone looked stunning - the best, glowing versions of themselves. She was very accommodating, warm, personal and professional and did anything and everything in her power to support us all and keep me relaxed on the day. She stayed right up to the last minute and even dried the bridesmaid's flowers and helped my mum get me into my dress. I will be shouting about her from the rooftops to everyone! She really is a gem. Thank you once again Carys!

Highly recommend!

Cannot recommend Cary’s enough if you’re looking for an absolutely lovely and talented hair and makeup artist! 😊

For my wedding, me, my mum, and my bridesmaid had our hair and makeup done. We went for a soft glam yet natural look, and it was perfect - It looked great all day long and was complimented by guests!

Carys was amazing and listened to all our ideas/skin concerns on the day and worked with me during my trial session to perfect my look for the wedding. She added and took away bits as we went until I was happy and made sure to take lots of notes.

On the day of the wedding, Carys checked in with us to make sure we were okay and if we were happy with the progress. A big thank you from all of us!

100% Reccomend!

I cannot recommend Carys enough! Not only did she perfectly execute the hair and makeup I had asked for, but she also was so lovely, calm, and personable throughout. She kept me very calm on the morning of and it was genuinely a lot of fun to have her with us. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist for their wedding or other event!

Wonderful MUA

Carys was brilliant from first contact. I booked her at quite short notice but she was still supportive and flexible. I was quite nervous going to my trial - I have never been a make-up girl - but Carys immediately made me feel at ease, discussed options with me and was receptive to feedback. On the day, she was a wonderfully calming presence and kept making me laugh. My make-up stayed put all day and looked lovely in photos. Thank you so much, Carys!

The best bridal MUA!

I’m so glad I stumbled across Carys’ profile on Hitched when searching for my bridal hair and makeup. From the very beginning she made the whole process so easy and stress-free, which really put me at ease in the run up to the wedding. I had a few worries about how my hair and makeup might look on the day, but Carys was so attentive and reassuring, making sure I felt completely comfortable and 100% happy with everything.

On the day itself, she was such a calming presence and made the morning feel relaxed and enjoyable. My makeup was everything I could have hoped for. It was glowy, flawless, and it still felt so natural. I loved every single bit of it! My bridesmaids were also really happy with their hair and makeup (some commenting that this is the best they have had done by a professional!) and we all received so many compliments throughout the day.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Carys enough. She’s incredibly talented, professional, and such a lovely person to have with you on your wedding morning. You won’t regret picking her as your hair and makeup up artist!

A pleasure to share the morning with

Carys was absolutely fantastic from initial contact to when she left on the day. Firstly she managed to squeeze in my trial relatively short notice and was so communicative and friendly before this which was really reassuring. At the trial she created exactly the look i wanted and really relaxed me, taking all my direction and prompting for things to think about as im not a makeup girlie usually. On the day Carys was there promptly and was great with my mum and bridesmaid who both had never had their make up done before and werent sure on the look they wanted. Carys was so helpful on the day, touching my up makeup after tears, providing tips to help it last better (and it did last all day and all night!) and even helping me into my dress with mum. She was such a calming presence and im so glad to have had her. Would recommend her to anyone.

The best bridal MUA 🥰

I honestly cannot recommend Carys enough! On the day she came in with such a bubbly yet calming energy that instantly put me, my mum, and my bridesmaid at ease. She made each of us feel so beautiful and confident, and her attention to detail was incredible. Carys went above and beyond, staying right until the very last minute before I walked down the aisle to make sure everything was perfect. I will definitely be booking her again for any future events, she’s truly amazing! Thank you so much Carys.

Amazing make up artist!

My bestfriend had Carys at her wedding to do the bridesmaids make up and I was really impressed from the get go and could not believe how beautiful it made me feel. I messaged Carys the same evening to enquire about my wedding the following year and she got back to me so quickly. Carys is amazing at what she does and is so professional. She arrived early, had everything ready for the day and was so bubbly! It made me feel at ease because I was so nervous. It was lovely to feel like a priority through the whole experience, she listened to everything I wanted and delivered!💗
