Kara's wedding 26.06.2026
Emily and Maddie listened to exactly what I wanted and created the most beautiful hair and makeup look—better than I could have imagined. I felt so confident and like the best version of myself. Everything stayed flawless all day and night, through the emotions, the heat!! Photos, and dancing!
Not only are they incredibly talented, but they're also genuinely lovely people who made the whole morning so enjoyable. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and I'm still obsessed with how everything looked in our wedding photos.
Thank you both for helping make my wedding day so special. I couldn't recommend Emily and Maddie more highly to any bride looking for talented, professional, and amazing hair and makeup artists! My bridal party were over the moon with their looks too! and you were so flexible adding on my flower girls last minute as well! I really appreciated it! Thank you both again! Can't recommend enough! Xx
Nothing short of incredible
Emily was great, nothing was to much trouble Even managed to to work around one of the bridesmaids Attending to her 3 month old baby. Would 100% recommend Emily, my daughter had no idea what she wanted but Emily knew what would suit her straight away.
Do not hesitate book Emily
Brilliant make up artist
The trial was lovely and she made myself and one of my bridesmaids who came with me for moral support feel really comfortable.
I wanted my make up to be quite natural and she took the inspiration document that I sent and did exactly what I wanted!
On the day she was on time and made me feel comfortable again. My photographer said it was one of the best bridal make up she's seen!
Emily is brilliant at what she does and a lovely person. Would definitely recommend booking her!
Excellent MUA

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!
