Can't be happier with how my makeup turned out

Gemma thank you so much for doing mine, and my bridesmaids make-up on my wedding day. You did such a wonderful job and it lasted all day long with only lipstick needed to touch up!

If you need anyone to do your makeup on such an important day, Gemma is your one!

Perfect Natural Makeup by a True Professional

Gemma is an incredibly professional makeup artist.
I prefer a natural style, and she recommended the perfect look that suited my face beautifully.
She made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process, and the final result lasted all day.
I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for flawless, natural makeup.

Amazing experience, beautiful hair and make up and professional service

I booked Gemma for my May 2024 wedding for hair and make up for me, five bridesmaids and my mom. Gemma was super clear and communicative throughout the entire process and I met her and Claire (who does hair) for my trial a few months before the day. I was so nervous about getting my hair and make up done as I’m not a ‘hair and make up’ person, but they made me feel so at ease. I knew at my trial I had made the right decision. On the day they arrived exactly on time and proceeded to get through the 7 of us with ease throughout the morning. Noone felt rushed and everything went smoothly. They massively contributed to me having having an amazing wedding morning. I was so happy with my hair and make up, it was even better than at was at the trial
and I felt like a real life princess. Everyone was so happy with their hair and make up and felt confident and special for
the day. They are both lovely ladies and I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of booking them.

Absolutely amazing 😍

Perfect from start to finish! Gemma made booking so easy, an easy price list to understand without having to go back and forth multiple times - all the information I needed was in the 1st interaction. I spoke with Gemma, she was lovely and easy to talk to. I booked for myself, 6 bridesmaids and my mum. We all looked so beautiful. Gemma arrived on time & we were all finished in plenty of time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional makeup artist for their wedding day! Thank you so much Gemma xx

Dream of a MUA

Gemma did my bridal makeup up along with the make up for 6 bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom. We all had different ideas in mind, and Gemma exceeded all our hopes and expectations. The make up was long lasting, the selection of lashes was incredible and Gemma fitted in so well during the 'getting ready' process. Gemma was full of great tips and suggestions and really helped put me at ease. The bridal party looked stunning and I can't thank Gemma enough. To see all my girls smiling and full of confidence on the day, made my heat melt.

A Friendly face that made ours look FABULOUS!

Thankyou so much for doing our Makeup for our UK Wedding Reception. Myself and 3 Bridesmaids all commented on how AMAZING you made us look! We had a Makeup artist the previous week in Las Vegas who was not only rude but also not great at doing Makeup....You hit it out of the park...

Gemma communicated well, was actually early but was FANTASTIC! Great sense of humour, really friendly and chatty.... It was lovely how she asked about our Wedding and genuinely seemed interested.

Price was affordable but well worth each penny, would recommend and certainly use again.

We all felt a million dollars and partied all night with makeup untouched! High quality products (including lashes which had been poor quality in Las Vegas)

Wonderful wedding make up artist - would definitely recommend Gemma!

I booked Gemma for my bridal make up after seeing her work on local social media. Gemma was so quick at getting back to me with any questions on the run up to the day, and on the day she was prompt to arrive, and made me and my bridesmaids feel so at ease! My make up was absolutely gorgeous and lasted the whole day. I got so many compliments and I really did feel a million dollars. I would definitely recommend Gemma for your bridal make up. Thank you!

Made me feel like a million dollars!

Gemma did my bridal make up, two bridesmaids, a flower girl and mother of the bride and we were all over the moon with what she did. Gemma is super talented, listens to exactly what you want and makes you look incredible. She is also very good value for money. I would 100% recommend Gemma to anyone looking for any kind of make up service!
