A dream from start to finish.

I had the privilege of Esther doing my makeup for my wedding day and my bridesmaids. From start to finish, Esther was absolutely amazing. She listened, took great care and by the time she finished it was as though she was part of the family. I think for me the hardest part was not being used to wearing makeup and Esther listened and didn’t go overboard or make me feel like a doll. My makeup was absolutely perfect and it didn’t move all day. She has this amazing talent of making you feel so comfortable whilst making you feel like you’re on top of the world. My bridesmaids looked beautiful and my Mum, who had never had her makeup done before, looked breathtaking. If you’re lucky enough to book Esther, you won’t have any regrets. She was a dream to have and I won’t use anyone else for my makeup.

Esther is everything 💛

From when I found and booked Esther until now my wedding is over (☹️) I honestly felt like we were besties. Esther was so responsive and helped me with time lines and other make up artists to help get us ready. During my make up trial Esther made me feel amazing, I knew I had picked the best person I could have. Esther took so much time and care in making sure I had exactly what I wanted.
On the wedding day Esther brought so much energy and love in a very calming way. I felt so relaxed and at ease when getting my makeup done. My bridesmaids loved their make up and have all been saying that we need an excuse to book her again!
I can’t thank Esther enough and encourage you to book with her. Esther has very reasonable pricing, although I think she is worth way more!
Esther is such a lovely person and the care she puts in to her work is incredible!
If you’re looking for a wedding MUA look no further!
Thank you so much Esther xxx

Highly skilled, professional and funny!

Esther had done my makeup for two of my pre wedding events, she has turned me into a princess on both days and I got a huge number of compliments! Her experience on a variety of skin tones and shone through, like she focuses on the smallest of details that made a huge difference, eg skin prep and small touches on the eyes meant I was in good care. But best of all, Esther is the funniest person I have ever met and the most amazing person inside and out. I highly recommend her services as her calming presence is so necessary especially during a stressful time such as a wedding! Her prices are very reasonable and I would love to have her get me ready all over again!

An absolute dream!

The whole experience with Esther was amazing from start to finish!
She asked lots of questions to find out what I wanted and the kind of look I was after, then she absolutely nailed it!!
The trial was so relaxed and just felt like I was at my friends house. Esther was so chilled and always listened to my requests.
On the wedding day Esther came to my house and again it was so relaxed, the make up was so glowy and natural. It stayed on all day! I didn’t touch it up once apart from the lippy.
I had so many compliments!
I highly recommend Esther, she’s an absolute dream! xxx

Italian Wedding

Esther did my makeup for my wedding on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, and the whole experience from start to finish was amazing. I’m always nervous about having my makeup done, as I don’t usually wear much, and I really wanted a natural look that still felt special for my big day. Esther completely understood the brief. She created the perfect dewy, fresh look that felt lightweight but held up beautifully in the hot weather.

Her professionalism and calming presence made such a difference on what could have been a hectic morning. She’s warm, easy to get along with, and her knowledge of makeup and products is incredible. We had a couple of trials at home before the wedding and worked together to create the exact look I envisioned. I’m so glad I had Esther rather than booking someone locally, as she really understood my skin and my style.

She also did makeup for my bridesmaids and family, and everyone looked stunning. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—having Esther there was the perfect choice

Esther is amazing!!!!!

Esther was just fabulous from start to finish. So professional, great value for money, organised and my makeup was stunning. I loved it. There’s so much stress and pressure on the run up to your big day and on the day and Esther is just so calm, funny and great to have around you and your bridal party.

Her makeup skills are incredible most importantly. She really knows her stuff about products and skin care so knows how to make you feel your best! I wanted a very natural look & she listened and delivered.

Thank you so much Esther you’re a star!

Just amazing!

Esther was amazing from start to finish. She went out of her way to make sure I was happy with my trial and she really wants to make sure that you love your make up! Always got back to me asap and put up with my mental eyeliner requests like a pro. On my wedding day she kept me calm and checked in with me the whole way through, making sure I was happy (I was over the moon!) My makeup was stunning and she did such an amazing job, plus she’s so lovely and we laughed the whole time.

Mehndi Makeup By Esther

Esther did an amazing job with my mehndi makeup! It lasted so well, and the preparation she did beforehand was excellent. Plus, my base looked absolutely flawless! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled makeup artist who can create a stunning, long-lasting look.

The Best MUA

Esther is incredible. Not only is she wonderfully talented at make up but she is the most attentive, thoughtful and supportive person; she’s practically the extra bridesmaid you didn’t know you needed.

I chose Esther because she was highly experienced in working with all skin types, styles, etc and I wanted the bridesmaids to feel like them but sparkled up. Not just a repeat look that some MUAs do. And Esther didn’t disappoint. The bridesmaids and I were all over the moon with our make up, which stayed put all day and got endless compliments. She also went above and beyond and helped me manage a bit of an uneasy situation with the hairstylist and timings to make sure I had as little stress ♥️

If you’ve got this far and are reading this review, just do it. Choose Esther because you won’t be disappointed but you will be the next person to right a glowing review!

Amazing makeup artist 🤍

I was recommended Esther by a friend and from the minute I got in touch with her she was amazing. friendly, helpful, professional and honestly one of the nicest people ever.
Her makeup skills and knowledge are amazing. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day and didn't need to touch up my makeup even once throughout the day.
As someone who wears quite a lot of makeup day to day, I always get quite nervous when having my makeup done for anything, but Esther put me at ease and promised me I'd love it, and she wasn't wrong. My skin looked flawless, makeup perfect and lasted all day and night. Cant recommend her highly enough, thank you Esther 🤍

Amazing!!!

After booking my wedding, one of my biggest worries was the make up. I don’t wear any make up other than eyeliner/mascara so I was really worried that I’d end up feeling overly done, or feeling like I couldn’t say if I didn’t like something. Well I needn’t have worried at all!

From the start Esther was professional and calming, friendly and approachable. I did 2 trials with her and she perfected my bridal make up so that I felt nothing but calm and ease on my wedding day.

Moreover, I had 6 bridesmaids and 2 mums who also wanted their make up doing! Esther worked like a machine, but in the same breath took the time she needed to ensure each person felt their best! Everyone came away feeling amazing and all commented on how lovely Esther was.

I can’t recommend her enough and would use her again and again!

Thank you so much Esther, for making me feel amazing, calm, and beautiful on the most special day of my life!
