Worth her weight in gold!

Where do I even start?! Booking Carys was one of the best decisions I made. I had such a positive experience; I felt listened to, and knew that I was in very safe hands. Carys is so talented; I was absolutely blown away by the finished look, and I still felt like myself, which was really important to me.

Talking to her felt like chatting to a friend; it excited me throughout the trial, and kept me calm on the morning of my wedding.

Carys- you are just brilliant, and I cannot thank you enough! You gave me the priceless gift of feeling beautiful on my wedding day.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

I cannot recommend Carys enough! She did an absolute dream job for my wedding. I have genuinely never felt so pretty, and my hair and makeup stayed completely flawless all day and night with zero issues.

I also did a trial with her (I'd definitely recommend!) and she made me feel really at ease as well as my MIL as she wanted to come and watch due to her being nervous about having her own hair and makeup done on the day. My MIL ended up going for both after the trial as Carys made her feel so at ease! She spent loads of time during the trial talking to me about what I like and did the most stunning look with minimal changes on the day!

Beyond being an incredibly talented artist, Carys was a total lifesaver. When things started getting chaotic on the morning of the wedding, she went so far above and beyond. She kept me completely calm, ran around to keep everything seamless, and got me to the church on time!

She also brought in two assistants Brooke and Sian who were great! Everyone in the party looked incredible and was thrilled with their results.We couldn't recommend any of them enough. They all made us look like us but enhanced our natural features and making us feel so incredible on the day! Definitely book Carys!!

(The photos attached aren't the best as we're waiting for our professional photos but id gives an idea on how smooth the makeup is!)

Excellent bridal hair and make up

Carys was absolutely wonderful. She listened carefully to what I wanted for my wedding day hair and make up at the trial and then recreated it perfectly on the big day. She also gave me some great style ideas to try and some pre-wedding hair and skin tips. She was calm, organised, and very responsive to any questions. I would really recommend Carys to others.

Carys is fantastic!

I couldn’t recommend Carys enough. Honestly, she is an amazing HMUA and she really knows what shes doing! She made me and my bridal team feel so beautiful and I was so happy with how I looked on my wedding day! She listens to what you want and really hits the brief! Not only this but Carys is such a lovely person who can hold a conversation and is really down to earth. Having her there on the morning calmed my nerves and she’s really one of the girls! Thank you Carys!

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish

Carys was an integral part of our special day. She not only has a calm and professional, friendly manner but is also an exceptional artist for hair and make-up!! We were so relieved that we didn’t have to hire two separate companies and Carys made a personalised schedule so the whole process was easy. The entire bridal party were thrilled with the finishes. Whether it’s minimal and natural or full-glam, Carys does it all. Couldn’t be happier. Memories we’ll treasure forever. Thank you ❤️

Down to earth and amazing!

Carys was totally professional yet felt like one of the girls when we were all getting ready. Not pushy from the moment I met her, brought my vision to life and left me and my bridesmaids absolutely at ease. Took initiative to help with everything in the lead up to the ceremony, including my dress and accessories. Lovely trial process too, especially for a bride who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup day to day. You will be in great hands with Carys! :) x

Incredible Hair and Makeup Experience for My Wedding! - Charlie Waddingham

I was so lucky to have Carys handle hair and makeup for my whole bridal party - one of the best decisions I made! Overall, Carys is incredibly kind, very talented and highly knowledgeable about skin, hair and makeup. She is amazing at de-stressing anyone and she offers a very reasonable price for the quality of the services she offers!

From the very beginning, Carys was so warm, friendly and quick to respond. Her website is highly organised and this made everything very simple to keep track of throughout the whole process. When I went to her lovely studio for my bridal trial, I instantly knew I would be well taken care of. Carys kept in touch the whole way through the wedding planning, even checking in and responding to my queries whilst she was on maternity leave, which meant so much to me!

On the morning of the wedding, she turned up early, completely organised and ready to go. She used her expertise to find the best area to set up her station and she mapped out the morning so well that no one ever felt rushed. Carys sent over a clear, organised timetable beforehand, which kept the whole morning running right on schedule. In general, Carys really fitted into my bridesmaid group so naturally and made the whole morning feel so calm, easy and exciting. She was so helpful in offering lots of general beauty tips too - which we have not stopped raving about since.

As for the hair and makeup, Carys was completely open to any tweaks I wanted to make to my hair until it felt 100% right. Even with my bridesmaids making last-minute hair choices, Carys handled it effortlessly - using her expertise to make sure everyone looked and felt stunning. Carys provided useful tips on how to keep everything looking fresh all day, which worked like a dream. When I looked in the mirror, I felt absolutely incredible - so confident and genuinely like the best version of myself. My mum and bridesmaids were unbelievably thrilled with their looks too and couldn't stop raving about Carys' magic afterward.

In the last 15 minutes, things started to feel a bit chaotic (with more and more family members/suppliers coming into the room) and Carys was honestly my ROCK - a total calming presence, in an overwhelming situation. She was so reassuring and supportive - it felt like having another close friend in the room with me. I am so grateful that she was able to ground me as well as refine my hair and makeup (through my tears!), all at once. She was truly amazing.

If you want the most reliable and relaxing wedding morning possible, book with Carys!!! She is the very best at what she does! Thank you very much, Carys!

Simply the best!!

I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup, so choosing a bridal makeup artist felt daunting, but Carys made me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever looked. From the moment she arrived, she was so lovely and calming, which instantly helped me relax on the morning of the wedding.

She created the most gorgeous, glowy looks for my entire bridal party, and everyone absolutely loved their hair and makeup. Not only did it look amazing, but it also lasted perfectly all day and night. One of my bridesmaids loved her makeup so much that she’s now booked Carys for her own wedding!

I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough – talented, professional, and a genuinely lovely person to have with you on such a special day.

The best MUA you’ll want on your wedding morning!

Carys was absolutely wonderful and such a joy to have with us on the wedding morning. She did my makeup, my mum’s, and my bridesmaids’, and from start to finish she was kind, warm, attentive, and incredibly professional.

She is so talented and took the time to really listen to everyone. As someone who doesn’t wear much makeup and feels most like myself without it, she completely nailed a natural look that still felt special. She also brought such great energy to the morning, we laughed the whole time, so much so my cheeks hurt, which made the experience even more memorable.

I can’t recommend her highly enough and I hope this isn’t the last time I get my make up done by her. Thank you Carys!

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 🥰
