Beautiful person, fantastic MUA

Could not fault Sophy at all! I am so glad I found Sophy - and she was available for my day. I knew that I wanted someone who wouldn't overload my face and would help guide me through the make up process as I did not have a clue! I was anxious about finding the right person, but Sophy completely put me at ease and we had a video chat beforehand and she advised me on skincare so I had plenty of time to get sorted. Fast forward to trial day - Sophy talked me through what she was doing and did it in stages, making sure it wasn't too much and I was comfortable. I knew I had picked the right person!
In the lead up to our wedding day, Sophy quickly responded to any messages - despite officially still being on maternity leave!
On the day Sophy was a dream to be around - so chilled, so professional and did mine and mum's make up beautifully (even helped me put my earring in!) and stayed with me until I left the room to head to the venue.
My make up stayed looking good all day, I didn't feel self conscious or need to touch it up. In our pictures I still look like me, but with flawless skin! The morning after, my skin wasn't feeling irritated or having a breakout.

If you don't wear much make up or looking for someone to do natural looking, yet stunning bridal make up - you're in safe hands with Sophy!

The most wonderful make up artist!

I was lucky enough to book the lovely Sophy for my bridal make up. What a fantastic choice! She was calm, professional and is wonderful at her craft. Sophy made me look absolutely beautiful whilst ensuring I still looked like me! She helped calm my nerves on the big day and has such a lovely presence about her. Highly recommended! My make up stayed in place from 11am-midnight...no touch ups needed! Magical!

Beautiful Wedding Makeup - Sophy is AMAZING

Sophy was a dream to work with from start to finish - not only is she incredibly kind, patient and a joy to spend time with, she also did the most gorgeous wedding makeup for myself, my mum and my sisters. We were all blown away by her and the results. I felt beautiful and the makeup stayed looking great all day. We were having as low key/budget a wedding as possible so I was on the fence about getting a MUA at all, but it was SO worth it. I would recommend Sophy to EVERYONE. I am so so grateful I found her and that she had time! Thank you so much again for everything.

I could not recommend Sophy more highly

I genuinely will run out of superlatives to praise Sophy for the incredible work she did on both me, my mum and my bridesmaids the morning of the wedding. She made us all feel not only beautiful, but also just so natural and like the best version of ourselves. Our makeup stayed immaculate the whole day. Not only that, but Sophy is exactly the kind of person who you need to have around on the morning of your big day, calm, positive and friendly. I and all my girls could not speak more highly of her. Thank you Sophy!

Amazing service!

Sophy was the most amazing makeup artist. She did my cousin, my Nan and myself as the bride. She was like one of the family and even helped my cousin choose between two different dresses when we were all getting ready. Sophy took every chance to make us all feel the magic of the day with lots of compliments and fun stories throughout the getting ready process. All of our makeup turned out to be amazing and in the pictures it has come out very glowy and bridal! Bonus points for the fact that the wedding day was during a heatwave and the makeup managed to stay on until the next morning! 10/10 would recommend Sophy to anyone having a event where they would want their makeup done ❤️

Wonderful make-up artist!

I’m so glad I picked Sophy Jane to be my make-up artist for my wedding. From start to finish, she was friendly, professional and communicative. Sophy Jane took on board my preferences but also offered some wonderful suggestions for my final look which I took on board. My make-up lasted the whole day! I would not hesitate to recommend Sophy Jane, she is an absolute joy and an amazing talent.

The best wedding investment!

I was very hesitant about getting my make up done professionally - not being a particularly confident person about my looks, plus I’m a more mature bride so kept thinking that all these finishing touches perhaps weren’t for me. From the start Sophy put me at ease, and took time to listen to any worries i had, as well as the overall look I wanted to achieve. I felt absolutely amazing on the day due to her work. The fact I’m older made no difference, my skin looked absolutely fantastic. So very worth every single penny, she’s an absolute rock star.

Wedding makeup

I had the absolute pleasure of having my makeup done by Sophy on my wedding day, and I couldn’t have been happier with the result. From the moment Sophy started, she made me feel completely at ease. Sophy listened carefully to what I wanted and created a look that felt very me and wasn’t too much!

Throughout the day, I received so many lovely compliments about my makeup. It looked beautiful in photos and even better in person! The makeup held up perfectly throughout happy tears, hugs and lots of dancing.

Sophy’s talent, calm presence, and attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed and I’m so glad that I picked Sophy to complete my wedding makeup.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sophy to any bride-to-be!

Sophy is amazing!!!

I first met Sophy when she did my bridesmaid makeup. As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted Sophy to be the MUA for my own wedding. She is so, so calm and personable and her make up skills…just wow. Our trial was a great experience, Sophy took great time understanding what I wanted and she was very flexible making changes and suggestions as we talked. On the day, Sophy was just a wonderful addition to my wedding morning. She works quickly and calmly and every single one of us looked amazing! Ultimately, I can’t speak highly enough of Sophy!

Could not have made a better choice!

I cannot express how thrilled I am with the incredible work Sophy did for my wedding day. From the moment we had our first consultation, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional. Sophy took the time to understand my vision and worked meticulously to perfect every detail of my look.

On the big day, Sophy arrived punctually and brought a calming, positive energy that set a wonderful tone for the morning. She skillfully created a flawless and natural look that enhanced my features while making me feel absolutely beautiful. The makeup was not only stunning in person but photographed beautifully, lasting impeccably throughout the entire day and night.

Sophy demonstrated remarkable expertise, using top-quality products and techniques that highlighted her exceptional talent and dedication to her craft. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure I was completely satisfied with the final result. Her ability to create a calm and enjoyable environment made the entire experience even more special.

My bridesmaids and I received countless compliments on my makeup, and I have Sophy to thank for making me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day. If you're looking for a make-up artist who is not only incredibly skilled but also a joy to work with, I wholeheartedly recommend Sophy. She truly exceeded all my expectations and played a significant role in making my wedding day unforgettable.

Thank you, Sophy, for your exceptional artistry and for being such a wonderful part of my wedding day!

The best of the best!

I was recommended Sophy on a local FB page having done a late shoutout for a professional make-up artist 6 weeks before my wedding!
Thank goodness she was available!

I honestly can't say enough what a lovely experience it was having Sophy do my make-up for the most special moment of my life.

Sophy is not just a fantastically skilled make-up artist but she is kind, warm and genuinely enjoys the buzz and excitment of the occasion - this really added to helping me feel nothing but relaxed and excited on the morning of my wedding.

The premium beauty products she used stayed on perfectly throughout the long day, with v minimal touch-ups required.
She also v kindly helped me into my dress on the morning and stayed until I left for the venue doing touch-ups prior to me leaving.

If you want someone who will not only accentuate your look but also just make you feel relaxed and allow you to be the beautiful bride you are on your day, then do book Sophy - you will not regret it whatsoever.

Amazing MUA, so pleased I found Sophy!

I was so pleased I stumbled across Sophy on Hitched and that she had availability for my wedding day!
From the initial communication, Sophy was professional and easy communicate with.
Sophy gave me exactly the look I was after, along with my 3 bridesmaids, and make us all feel so beautiful and special. She was a joy to be around in the morning of the wedding, with her calm demeanour and reassuring words. I would recommend Sophy one thousand times over, and would honestly love to redo the day just to have Sophy to my makeup again!
The makeup latest all day and all night, and I had numerous compliments throughout the day.
If you're looking for a makeup artist to help you become the most beautiful version of yourself on your special day, then honestly look no further!

Lovely Make Up

Sophy was lovely, very well organised, calm and made me feel calm on my wedding day.

At first I was not sure what look I wanted but knew I wanted a classical look. Sophy spent time with me finding the perfect look. A week before the wedding I got a black eye. Sophy managed to cover this up and no one noticed. Guests commented on how beautiful I looked.

The made of honours were beautifully done by Sophy too.

I searched around 20 make up artists however Sophy's style was the most natural looking. I also did not have a large bridal party and a lot of other make up artists required a minimum number. This was not the case with Sophy. She was very flexible.

Thank you Sophy for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day.

Couldn't recommend Sophy more!

I can't thank Sophy enough for being part of my wedding. From scheduling to the make up trial to the wedding morning - Sophy brought a calmness and a warmth that made us all feel at ease. She totally understood the vibe I was after and from a practical sense all of the products that she used were amazing.

I absolutely loved my make up and all of my bridesmaid felt the same way about theirs. We all felt like we looked like ourselves, but the absolute best version. I can't thank Sophy enough for the joy she added to my day!
