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 ❤️

Thank you for making me feel so special and beautiful on my big day ❤️ I can't wait to book in with you for more celebrations!

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.

Charlotte was great

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.
I highly recommend Charlotte to anyone considering her for wedding make up or any occasion.

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!

Chappell Wedding 12.7.25

I recently had the pleasure of booking Charlotte for my wedding day, and I couldn't be happier with the experience and results.

Throughout the entire process, Charlotte was the picture of professionalism. She was on time for both the trial and the wedding day, worked efficiently to keep everything on schedule, and used high-quality products that lasted flawlessly from the ceremony through to the last dance. She provided helpful advice on looks, skin prep, and even brought everything needed for touch-ups, just in case.

What really set her apart was her attitude: warm, friendly, and totally focused on making me feel comfortable and special. She listened carefully to my preferences (and my bridesmaids' too) and adapted the makeup style to suit each person’s individual taste. Her calm and reassuring manner helped to ease any nerves on the morning of the wedding, making the whole experience genuinely enjoyable.

I had so many compliments on my makeup - natural, glowy, and exactly as I’d hoped it would be. The photos turned out beautifully! I would highly recommend Charlotte to any bride looking for a talented, reliable, and personable makeup artist who offers excellent value for money and truly cares about making your day special.

Absolutely amazing! 💯😍

I was in UK for holiday and for a weddingand didn’t have long to find a make up artist, and then I found Charlotte in hitched! Literally the first one to pop up when searching for MUA and so thankful! It was very last minute too, reached out on the week of the wedding, maybe even days before it and Charlotte was so speedy with her reply! So helpful and was able to get me in asap, just in time! The most sweetest outgoing TALENTED girl! Didn’t need to say much other than the colour of my dress and she really came through! I wanted to look natural but also full glam at the same time and she did not disappoint! Thank you so much for being so flexible with fitting me in, making me look and feel amazing and for creating such a safe and fun space! Highly recommend ladies, charlottes your girl! 💯

Incredible wedding makeup artist

Charlotte did the makeup for my bridesmaids. They all look absolutely stunning and loved the looks that she created. They all had similar styles as I had requested, but Charlotte did an amazing job of tailoring and tweaking the different aspects of their makeup to suit them and what they are personally comfortable with.

They all commented on how lovely Charlotte was, and how she checked that they were happy at every stage of the process. My maid of honour messaged me the next morning to say she had gone back to her hotel room and asked our friend if she really had to take her makeup off to sleep because she loved it sooo much (it still looked perfect after midnight)!

Charlotte is so incredibly talented and I can’t wait to book her again in the future. She never disappoints and is truly one of the nicest people on earth.
