Gemma done my makeup (the bride), mother of the bride, 2 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls to say she’s amazing at her job is an understatement, Gemma made me feel like a complete princess & eased my nerves on my big day and I cannot thank her enough, she is extremely professional and stayed with me until I left the room for final touches. Gemma’s Attention to detail is 2nd to none, even putting a little bit of blusher & lip gloss on my flower girls to make them feel involved just made them feel so so special, my make up was flawless and stayed on until the early hours when my big day ended, she’s uses the best quality products, I have used Gemma for other occasions in the past and will continue to do so she’s my go to make up artist

Talented and lovely MUA who made us look amazing!
Gemma was the best MUA I could have booked for our wedding in May 2021. She was so flexible and understanding regarding Covid and potential date changes which meant I didn't need to worry or stress about that. Her kit is amazing- she only uses products that are excellent quality and we were really impressed with the products she had. On the day, she was so calm and lovely and made us look beautiful due to her talent and expertise. Thank you so much Gemma!

Professional, attention to detail, strives for perfection
Gemma has an amazing eye for detail and offers the best service and advice. She done myself (Bride), Mother of Bride and 3 Bridesmaids. She is quick but not at all rushed of “cut corner”. She made us all feel entirely at ease and listened to what I wanted the final outcome to be. She uses the best quality makeup from prep to final touches. I have since used Gemma for other occasions and receive such lovely compliments.
