The best of the best!

Charlotte was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Her communication throughout the whole wedding planning process was always on point & her kind, calm and lovely nature made the whole experience so enjoyable.

I felt completely comfortable discussing the look I wanted with her, and she absolutely nailed it!! I felt SO amazing on the day! The morning ran so smoothly with timings, which made everything feel so relaxed & every single one of the bridal squad LOVED their make up! They still talk about it now! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be part of the morning and would recommend Charlotte to anyone!

The perfect MUA!!🩷

I couldn’t recommend Charlotte enough! 🤍 She did my makeup and all of my bridesmaids’ makeup for my wedding day and was absolutely lovely from start to finish. She was so sweet, calm and professional, and listened to exactly what I wanted. Everyone’s makeup looked beautiful and lasted so well throughout the day. I felt so confident and like the best version of myself. Thank you so much for helping make my wedding morning so special! 🤍✨

Amazing service

My make-up did not budge for the whole of my wedding day despite it being very hot and shedding plenty of happy tears! Charlotte is very skilled and I picked up some make up tips. Charlotte was flexible, accommodating and professional. If I ever need my make up doing again I won't go to anyone else!!

Incredible!

Thank you so much for doing my makeup on my wedding day 🤍 I absolutely loved it and felt amazing and so confident all day. You completely understood the look I wanted and absolutely nailed it. My makeup stayed perfect right through to the end of the night!

Not only are you incredibly talented, but you were also such a calming presence throughout the morning which made such a difference on such a busy day. I had so many compliments on my makeup and honestly couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you again for making me feel my absolute best on such a special day 🫶

Charlotte’s wedding makeup ❤️

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day. I booked Charlotte quite close to the wedding after worrying that my original makeup artist didn’t fully understand my vision for a soft, natural glam look — and from the moment I spoke to her, I knew I’d made the right decision.

Charlotte listened so carefully to exactly what I wanted and completely brought my vision to life. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also brought such a calm and comforting energy to the morning. I was feeling emotional and she never once rushed me, helping everything feel relaxed and special.

I’m so grateful I found her, and to top it all off, she even left me with a thoughtful touch-up kit before heading off to the ceremony. Such a special touch. I would recommend her to any bride in a heartbeat!

A true make up magician - I felt and looked absolutely perfect

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a warm, calming energy that immediately put me (and everyone else!) at ease. She took the time to check in at every step, making sure I was completely happy with how everything was looking, which made the whole experience feel so collaborative and personal.

The final result was beyond anything I could have imagined—I felt absolutely incredible. She is a true magician with makeup, enhancing everything in such a natural yet flawless way. Not only is she unbelievably talented, but she’s also such a lovely, welcoming person to have around on such a special morning. I’m so grateful to her for making me feel my absolute best!

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Charlotte is not only the sweetest, most welcoming person but also extremely talented. Communication was super easy and she always responded promptly. When arranging my bridal trial it was really easy. Charlotte took time to talk through what I wanted for the day as well as asking what I normally do day to day. She listened to every single thing I said and any concerns or problem areas such as my dark under eyes, she made me feel totally at ease. My bridal party were also so happy with their final looks and glowed with confidence throughout the day. Charlotte made me feel so calm during the getting ready process. She had written clear notes on everything we did at the trial and asked if I wanted to do the same, which of course I did! Nothing is too much trouble and her professionalism is flawless. I honestly can’t rate her highly enough, if you’re looking for a warm, calm and talented make up artist for your special day look no further!

Couldn’t recommend Charlotte enough!

Charlotte did my makeup for myself and six others in my bridal party. From the trials to the wedding day, Charlotte was professional, welcoming and attentive to every detail. She took the time to listen to what we all wanted and made us feel completely at ease throughout the process.

On the day of the wedding, she created the most flawless, natural and long lasting look and I couldn’t have been happier. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also kind and professional, I would highly recommend Charlotte.

Incredible! ❤️

Charlotte is the most wonderful makeup artist anyone could wish for on their wedding day! I had Charlotte as my makeup artist for my wedding and also on other special occasions and with every booking she has been incredible! She is such a perfectionist but makes you feel extremely comfortable and happy to ask for any changes or tweaks. All my bridesmaids were blown away by her talent and I will always recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you for being part of my special day and making me feel the best I ever have ❤️

Risk free wedding decision!

Charlotte could not have made me feel any better ,more beautiful, more relaxed, more at ease on the day. I was particularly anxious trying to manage my emotions and Charlotte helped keep me at ease which wasn't even in the job description! Ontop of that, I didn't have a trial but she walked me through each element and we got it right first time, often asking for feedback at each stage!. She also did my mums makeup, she also never wears any makeup and since having it done , my mum wants to look like she did on the wedding, every day! We had soooo many compliments and would recommend her to anyone that listens.

Highly recommended!!!!

Charlotte created five stunning makeovers for my wedding day, and each one was absolutely perfect. A couple of my bridesmaids had very specific requests, and I really appreciated how accommodating and professional she was with them. My makeup lasted flawlessly all day with just a few lipstick touch-ups needed.

I can’t thank her enough for helping me feel and look amazing, I had been nervous about not looking like myself with heavier makeup than I was used to, but Charlotte struck the perfect balance. I received so many wonderful compliments and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful makeup artist.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Charlotte enough! She is such a lovely lady and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Her customer service was fantastic from start to finish, and she put everyone at ease straight away. All of my bridesmaids looked stunning and were so happy with their makeup and mine lasted the entire night without needing any touch-ups! I’m so grateful to her for making us all feel beautiful on such a special day.

Couldn't recommend more highly

Charlotte did my make up for my two wedding events and both my bridesmaids. Her professionalism and knowledge of make up was so reassuring and really showed in her work. We were all thrilled with the make up on the day and it wore really well. Charlotte is also extremely welcoming and just overall lovely she brought such a calming atmosphere on the day.

Adored charlotte and her makeup skills!

I honestly cannot recommend Charlotte enough! 💖 I can get so nervous meeting new people, but she instantly put me at ease – she’s the sweetest, friendliest person ever. From my trial right through to my wedding day, she made me feel so comfortable and really listened to what I wanted. She talked me through everything, gave me loads of flexibility with my preferences, and always made sure the look stayed true to my style.
Charlotte is SO professional and prepared too – she even brought notes from my trial to make sure she remembered exactly what I loved, which just shows how much care she puts into her work. She uses amazing products, knows her stuff inside out, and the end result was absolutely perfect.
If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also genuinely lovely to be around on such an important day, Charlotte is your girl. 🌸✨ 5 stars from me – would recommend her to absolutely everyone!
