Beautiful natural wedding makeup

Fenny was a dream from start to finish. Before the trial she was very helpful in thinking about how I might want my make up and hair given my dress and how long it needed to last throughout the day! She made my maid of honour and I so welcome at the trial, which was in a lovely beauty studio which was easily accessible from London. I felt guided and supported through the early morning hours on the day of the wedding. Fenny was such a peaceful presence and really listened to what everyone wanted. My make up was absolutely glowing all day, and I have never had more compliments! I felt like a queen.

Couldn’t recommend Fenella highly enough

I was so lucky to find Fenella to do my makeup and hair for my wedding. From the trail to the day itself Fenella was friendly and professional and really took a lot of time to understand what I wanted and how I would feel the most beautiful and confident version of myself. The wedding hair and makeup was definitely something I worried about as I’m naturally quite pale and felt like it could easily look like too much but Fenella far exceeded my expectations. She also did makeup for my Bridesmaid and Mum who both also felt amazing on the day. Fenella was also just a lovely presence on the day which definitely calmed my nerves. Couldn’t recommend her any more highly.

Bringing out natural beauty & confidence...

I recently had the pleasure of having Fen as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding in December, and I cannot express enough how delighted I am with her exceptional skills and professionalism.

Fen is a wonderful hair and make up artist who made me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. She was kind and calm throughout the process, and I could tell by her expressions when she was happy with the results, which made me feel more certain. She was patient with the children and family members who were around, and she handled everything with professionalism and grace. My hair and make up lasted all day, even after dancing and celebrating. Fen also did a great job during the trial, listening to my preferences and making adjustments accordingly. I highly recommend Fen to anyone looking for a talented and friendly hair and make up artist for their special occasion.

Everything was perfect!

I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding make-up. Fenella is experienced and professional while also really lovely and is great at putting you at ease. She listened to what I wanted and was happy to try different things.

Comfortable, Fun and we all looked stunning!

Being someone who never really wears makeup, my supplier for this was a big concern - I needn't have worried! Fenella was amazing at putting me at ease and making me feel comfortable about the whole process! And my hair was stunning - a complete work of art - I had a picture I found on pinterest of something I liked, and somehow Fen made my hair look even better than the picture! Me and my girls looked amazing for my big day and we had such a laugh in the process of getting ready - I cannot recommend Fenella enough!

Fenny did my make up for my wedding day and it was faultless! The whole experience from the communication leading up to the day, the trial andy wedding day was fantastic!
Fenny is such a friendly and talented make up artist, she understood exactly how I wanted to look and worked miracles! I felt amazing on the day and she helped keep me calm too.

Amazing and friendly. Just what you need the morning of your big day.

Fen was kind and friendly when arranging what type of make up look I wanted. For someone who doesn’t wear a lot of make up at all I went for her airbrush make up and it felt amazing on my skin and lasted all day. She did all my bridemaids and my mum and auntie too all of which loved their make up.
She couldn’t have been more helpful even giving me advise on skin care routine which I still use to this day.
Fen even included my little bridesmaid (who were not having make up) but letting them sit in the chair fussed around their faces, really making them feel special and included just like the big girls.
