Amazing Make Up Artist

Emily was an absolute dream to work with, I had a large bridal party so it was a little tricky with a schedule but she worked everything out and was so helpful! She even helped me get into my dress and put my shoes on! The make up was flawless and beautiful and I was complimented so many times. I honestly am so happy I booked her.

Wedding Make Up

I booked Emily for my make up for my wedding in May 2015. As I don't usually wear too much make up, I was sceptical about what a make up artist would do and whether it would be worth it. Myself and my mum both booked trials and found Emily to be professional, laid back and knowledgeable about what would work for us. She listened to our styles and made recommendations about what would suit our skin tones.
I knew I'd be really nervous on the morning of my wedding and Emily was the person who kept everyone calm with light chit chat, she made us all feel at ease and helped create those lovely memories of getting ready on your big day.
Looking at my wedding photos, myself and my mum are so glad that we chose to have our make up done professionally- it really enhanced our features and made the day feel extra special! I would recommend Emily to any brides to be!

Thank you So Much!

I want to thank you so much for my amazing hair and make up at Louella's wedding last Friday. Everyone commented and said how stunning I looked and trust me that is not the sort of comment I get on a daily basis!! You were both amazing and such lovely people to boot. Jacqui-Mother of the Bride

I first got a taste for Make Up while I was still at school, I was lucky enough to be able assist the amazing Louise Constad, Make Up Artist to the stars, on a number of shoots including M&S christmas adverts and Music Videos. This fuelled my passion for make up, so straight after school I went to West Thames college where I studied for 4 years, gaining a ND in Make up and Hairdressing and following up with a HND in Specalised Make Up and Wig dressing. After gaining my HND in Specalised Make Up I went to work in Central London as a Freelance based Make Up Artist for Estee Lauder. This gained me experience in working on many different faces. After 7 years with Estee Lauder I decided to go completly freelance and have never looked back since. I Love all things make up and making women feel beautiful. Over the years I have worked on alot of Brides, and know that the most important thing is not only feeling and lookng beautiful but making sure that lasts the whole day. I use lots of high end brands in my kit and I am always looking for new products that will help your look last all day.

I first met Emily when i was doing her own hair, we both got along so well and loved each others work ethic that we decided to team up! I now own and run my own salon MH hair salon in Milton Keynes but still work freelance doing hair if needed alongside Emily . I have a strong passion for creating beautiful hair for my brides and love a good wedding!
