Cool calm and collected

Debbie was wonderful, she kept everyone calm and stress free making the whole wedding morning a wonderful experience. We asked for minimal makeup and a natural look and Debbie perfected that. Couldn’t have asked for more.

A Beautiful Day

Debbie is an absolute delight of a person to work with - I have never felt as comfortable and relaxed about my makeup as I did in her chair. It started with the trial - she was more than happy to come to us and the whole atmosphere was very calm, relaxing and we had a good giggle. Debbie constantly asked what things worked best for me and my MOB/SOB and showed us updates through the process - no change was too big or small, and everything came out looking stunning.

On the day itself, Debbie was super punctual (there before me!) but also didn't insist on arriving at 8am - which was fantastic because the wedding was at 2pm and I didn't want to be in full makeup hours before the ceremony. The whole morning was relaxed and fun - Brides splash out on the Cryoglobes for they are worth every single second. Not only do they make your skin look fantastic, but they are SO relaxing and if you are anything like me you will be sweating with nerves and sorting things out on the day!

We had changed a few things on the day from the original trial and again this was absolutely no issue on Debbie's end, she went with the flow and kept checking in on how the looks were progressing. I felt so beautiful and not over done in any way, she managed to make me look like myself but better and I had so many compliments on my makeup through the day.

I would absolutely rate Debbie and she is so affordable as well - but her makeup is stunning and the service felt very luxe. I will be going back for more services in the future ;)

Highly recommend

Debbie was just amazing. In the trial she put me at ease and asked me questions to gauge not only the look but the feel too. On the day I looked beautiful and felt so happy and confident x

Relax and Reassuring

Debbie did the makeup for my groomsmaids! It was a same sex wedding so 2 grooms! I had a vision in my head but I know nothing about make-up. Debbie asked my 5 groomsmaids questions about how they normally wear/ apply their makeup which kept each of my girls looking like themselves but still along the vision I had which I really appreciated.

My girls looked absolutely stunning and everyone raved about their makeup. I would 100% recommend Debbie to anyone.

Excellent, professional and made our day stress-free and special.

Debbie has been a delight to work with. We were a party of five needing our hair and makeup done for my best friend's wedding. We came over from England to Belfast for the wedding and were lucky enough to find Debbie for our hair and makeup needs. We all looked beautiful - and our hair and makeup lasted the whole day/evening. Debbie was easy to communicate with, very responsive.

Debbie also has the most gentle hands - you could fall asleep as she's putting on your makeup.

Thank you so much for making our morning so easy, and for making us look so beautiful. I highly recommend Debbie for your hair and makeup.
