Fantastic!

If you're looking for a bridal makeup artist who is both incredibly talented and fantastic to work with, look no further than Chelsea! From the moment she arrived, she was kind, calm, reassuring, and so easy to chat with, helping the whole morning run smoothly and keeping my stress levels down.

She created the most beautiful bridal makeup that made me feel like the very best version of myself. It looked flawless, felt like me, and lasted perfectly all day, even in the middle of a heatwave. I felt more confident than I ever imagined I would on my wedding day, and that's entirely down to Chelsea's talent.

Chelsea also did the makeup for my mum, my husband's mum, and my bridesmaids. She really listened to what each person wanted, and everyone looked absolutely stunning while still feeling like themselves. I couldn't recommend Chelsea more highly to anyone looking for an amazing bridal makeup artist!

Beautiful wedding makeup

Chelsea was an absolute dream to have on our wedding morning. She did makeup for the entire wedding party — bridesmaids, both mothers, and the bride — all on her own, and honestly you'd never have known. She was calm, efficient, and made every single person feel at ease from the moment she arrived.

She had such a great understanding of what I was going for — soft, romantic bridal makeup that felt like us. But what really impressed me was how she tailored each look to the individual. Every person looked like the most beautiful version of themselves, never overdone, never the same.

And it all held up beautifully from the ceremony right through to the end of the night. If you're looking for a wedding makeup artist who is talented, warm, and can single-handedly take care of a full wedding party without breaking a sweat — Chelsea is your person. Can't recommend her enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very talented make up artist, highly recommend

It's almost been a week since my wedding and I still can't stop thinking about how amazing my makeup looked. My make up stayed beautiful and looked just as good at the end of the night. Chelsea you're a star! I can't thank you enough and for anyone looking for a makeup artist then Chelsea is the girl for you. She's so kind, patient and professional, our whole bridal party loved their makeup (even the fussy ones 🤣). Can't recommend enough 🥰

Best wedding makeup

Honestly don’t know where to begin! Everything was such an amazing and lovely experience working with Chelsea, from the moment I first message about booking her, to my trail makeup and the day of my wedding. She made me feel and look amazing. She did myself, 4 bridesmaids and mum’s makeup and we all looked unreal. The makeup lasted all day to the point where I didn’t want to wash it off at nighttime. Every person complimented on how beautiful and natural looking we all were. Chelsea herself was amazing and patience when doing my makeup as I had my little girl sitting on my knee, she listen to all my bridesmaids on how they like to wear and have their makeup. It was like having another friend getting ready with us on the day. 100/100 would recommend everyone to book Chelsea, if I could book her every day to do my makeup I would

Wedding make up and lesson

Chelsea was absolutely amazing for my wedding makeup from the moment I met her, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease at my trial and on my wedding day.
She was recommended to me by a friend after I saw how flawless her makeup looked at her own wedding, and I’m so glad I took that recommendation. Chelsea really listened to what I wanted and created a look which exceeded my expectations.
I loved the experience so much that I went back to her for a makeup lesson afterwards, which was fantastic. I’m still using the tips and tricks she taught me now it’s made such a difference to my everyday routine.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Chelsea enough!

Thank you so much

I honestly can't thank Chelsea enough for how she made me and my bridal party feel on my wedding day.

From the outset Chelsea was lovely, super responsive and always available if I needed her for anything. My ceremony was at 12 so we had an additional make-up artist (Shaunna) who was also super talented and lovely.

I had my initial trial way in advance of the wedding that Chelsea reached out and organised with me. I was also awkward and had a change of mind on how I wanted my makeup to look after my initial trial but Chelsea was really receptive and then created my perfect bridal look on the day which was more beautiful than I had imagined. (I felt like a total princess :))

Because she is such a lovely person, Chelsea just felt like part of the bridal party, all my bridesmaids as well as my mum, step-mum and mother-in-law, all thought she was ace.

Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful Chelsea

Perfect make up artist 🥰

I can't recommend Cheslea enough to anyone looking for a wedding make up artist! From first enquiring with her she was super responsive and helpful. I was a little nervous ahead of my trial as I'd not had much experience of getting my make up done before, but she talked me through everything and made me feel completely at ease. On the day itself, she was such a fun, calm presence getting ready in the morning. The make up was perfect and I felt absolutely incredible. My Mum and bridesmaids all looked amazing! We had so many compliments and it lasted perfectly all day 🥰 Chelsea made us all feel so comfortable in the morning and helped make the day perfect, thank you so much 🥰

Chelsea was such a great addition to our wedding morning!

Throughout the whole planning process, Chelsea was super responsive and flexible, allowing me to change numbers and the timeline for the day!

Chelsea really is an artist and I’ve never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day! Chelsea didn’t mind making a few tweaks from my trial and she listened to my vision and executed it perfectly!

It felt like having another friend there on the wedding morning, Chelsea is so friendly and helped keep me calm! I would highly recommended Chelsea to anyone!

The perfect addition to your wedding!

Chelsea is just amazing! She is the perfect person to have with you in the lead up and on the morning of the wedding. She's so calm and always there for a chat or to dab the tears away. Her makeup is always flawless and can perfectly adapt to any of the bridal party, really listening to how they like their makeup and making everyone feel so comfortable and confident in their looks. Myself and the rest of the bridal party really couldn't have been happier 🤍 would recommend a million times over xx

Amazing!!!

I cannot recommend Chelsea highly enough. From my first contact to my make up on the big day Chelsea was simply brilliant. She captured my requests perfectly and made me feel fantastic on my big day! My teenage daughters were thrilled with their make up too. Chelsea is a real expert and a pleasure to work with, nothing is too much trouble. Thank you so much for everything, you're a star x

The best wedding makeup!

I was so happy that I was recommended Chelsea for my wedding makeup. From the moment that I first made contact all the way up to my wedding day, Chelsea was super helpful and was so quick at answering any questions I had. I was so nervous about finding a makeup artist, as I am not somebody who gets my makeup done often, however after my makeup trial with Chelsea all of my nerves disappeared and she made me feel incredible! Chelsea listened to exactly what I wanted and created the perfect bridal look for me. Chelsea made me feel so relaxed on my wedding morning and my makeup was stunning and lasted all day and night! She is such a vibe and a lovely person to be around and she radiates such a positive energy! I cannot recommend Chelsea enough to anybody xxx

The MUA you need 🤍

I cannot recommend Chelsea enough! After finding her on social media, she was the first supplier I booked after booking our venue.. nearly 2.5 years before our wedding, but I knew I couldn’t miss out on having her there for the big day. She was professional, friendly, a great ear for advice and help, chatty, calming, listens to what you want and is perfect at her job. Our makeup lasted over 12 hours and didn’t smudge one bit, it was everything I wished for and I could not have been happier with the results 🤍
