Make up for a wedding guest
I booked Gilian for make up for my friend's wedding. She listened to my requests and did an amazing job! Even gave me little samples to havevdruing the wedding to fix the lipstick and the foundation if needed later. 🫶

🌟 5 Stars – Absolutely Incredible!🌟
I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my big day! She made me feel like the most beautiful and radiant bride, truly beyond what I imagined. Her work was flawless, enhancing my features while still making me feel like myself.
She was incredibly attentive to every detail, from the bridal trial initial look I had in mind to the final touch-ups to the wedding day. Not only is she talented, but also kind, calming, and professional — exactly the kind of person you want around on such an important day.
Thank you for making me feel absolutely gorgeous and confident G— your magic truly showed in every photo!

Absolutely amazing woman and make up artist
I am so glad I chose Gillian to do my make up for my wedding. Having previously had a couple of not-so-great trials, I was nervous to try someone else: but I needn't have been. I instantly felt relaxed, happy and most importantly listened to: I knew I was in good hands!
Gillian is so kind, friendly and a real joy to be around. I won't be able to fully explain how amazing she was on my wedding day. She went above and beyond: from helping with my 1-year old to getting me into my dress. Not just doing my make up, but also helping me to stay calm and not stress.
Gillian, you're an incredible make up artist and a wonderful woman! Thank you so very much for everything you did to help make my wedding day so special.

Wedding Day of My Dreams
How to even begin! Gillian felt like a big sister on the most important day of my life. As an American bride, I was so nervous booking online and not having the chance to complete my wedding trial until a few days before my wedding. BUT, Gillian was truly one of the BEST decisions I made regarding my wedding. I adored my time in the chair with her. She perfectly understood my vision, made me feel and look like the best version of myself, and put my sisters and mom at ease the morning of the wedding. I am so grateful for her expertise, flexibility, and overall professionalism. I could not recommend Gillian more!

Huge thank you
A huge thank you to Gillian for my wedding makeup! Gillian managed to achieve a natural look while still keeping that special 'bridal' feel. Thank you also for making my mum feel special - having not had professional makeup before she was nervous, but you put her at ease and she was delighted with the finished look! Particularly impressed with how well everyone's makeup held up in 30 degree heat! Thank you Gillian!!

Best of the best
Gillian is the best of the best in my opinion. I couldn’t fault her on my wedding day. She was professional, supportive and great fun to be around. I had so many compliments on my make up and the best part was I still felt like myself

The perfect MUA!
Gillian was so lovely and easy to deal with. She did the make up for my three bridesmaids and the Mother of the Bride - who was very nervous about having her make up done. All the girls felt amazing. But Gillian set everyone at ease and made them all look absolutely stunning in the process. I would recommend her in a heart beat! I feel so lucky that she was available for my wedding!

The best in town!
Gillian made arranging the trail and plans for the day so easy which in amongst the wedding planning chaos I was so grateful for. She was such an incredible vibe on the wedding morning and I felt incredible all day long!! I really wanted to look like an elevated version of myself rather than anything different and she smashed it. Thank you Gillian ❤️

The loveliest and best MUA
Gillian is the loveliest, kindest and warmest soul, and from the moment I met her at my trial, I knew I had chosen the right person for my makeup. She was so calm and kind on the morning of the wedding and an absolute joy to be around. My makeup was absolutely stunning - I’ve never felt more beautiful and it lasted all day long even in 25 degrees weather! My bridesmaids all adored Gillian and were so happy with their makeup and looked gorgeous. They all spoke so highly of her! She perfectly matched everyone’s individual style and took the time to chat with each person beforehand to make sure they were comfortable. Thank you for everything Gillian! You made the day even more special.

I can’t recommend Gillian enough! From our initial trial to the big day, Gillian was professional, friendly and attentive to every detail. She perfectly captured the natural look I wanted for my wedding, making sure my skin looked radiant without feeling heavy. All my bridesmaids loved their make-up as well. She was punctual and made the wedding morning stress free. I highly recommend Gillian for your big day.
