Book Hayley!

Hayley was incredible from the moment I submitted my enquiry until my wedding day, she is a make up genius. All of my bridesmaids and mother of the bride looked wonderful and felt wonderful. I did not want to wash my face the make up was that good!! Hayley is a true professional, I can't wait to have another occasion to book her if she's free!! If you are thinking about booking her for your wedding you should!!!

The best make up artist ever!

From start to finish it was a real pleasure. Some of the wedding planning was stressful and not so fun but this part was made so lovely and so fun by Hayley. She made me and my bridesmaids feel so relaxed and beautiful on the day and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is super skilled and made us all look like the best versions of ourselves, we didn’t want to take the make up off. One of my bridesmaids is going to book in for a lesson as she learnt so much. Hayley was super professional and helped me to enjoy the process. She’s amazing.

Couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist. Hayley listened to everything I requested at my trial, offered advice where needed & made me feel a million bucks & that was just the trial!!!
On my big day Hayley came in fully prepared, on time & ready to get started. She made me and my bridesmaids look insane and the makeup lasted alllll day and night! She is worth her weight in gold 🫶🏻
Thank you so much Hayley!! Highly recommend ♥️

Your makeup will not budge!

Imagine it is your best friend who is extremely talented at doing makeup because this is the level of comfortability, ease and joy it was having Hayley be my makeup artist for my wedding.
From the moment I met Hayley during my trial, every communication after and then having her on the morning of my wedding glamming myself, my 4 bridesmaids and my mother made my day so special and so calm.
There were a few things that people remembered from our wedding and one of them was how my makeup was PERFECT until the last second of the night. I got so many compliments on how amazing the makeup was and how I looked and that was down to Hayley’s magic.
My bridesmaids and mother’s makeup also were perfection even with all the tears and emotions throughout the day.
It was a hot day of over 25 degrees and a lot of dancing and emotions and my makeup did not budge at all throughout the whole day!
I couldn’t recommend Hayley enough. She is not only so incredibly talented, but such a good friendly person and I felt so at ease during the morning with her. She really is a girls girl and will back your corner with anyone trying to interrupt my calm time in the morning of my wedding.
As well as being amazing at makeup, Hayley is so knowledgeable and gave me and my bridesmaid amazing tips and advice on our skincare months before the wedding so we could all get our skin to a better state! We’ve all changed up our skin care and makeup on the advice of Hayley and our skin is so much better for it!
Thank you Hayley 🤍

Wedding makeup 5*

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding! From start to finish, her calm presence and professionalism made me feel so at ease on the morning of my big day. She created the most beautiful look that made me feel confident, radiant, and the best version of myself.

A huge thank you as well to Demi, who made my bridesmaids feel so special and Hayley arranged last minute to make sure everything went smoothly. The whole experience was flawless.

I would recommend her to anyone getting married—she truly deserves all the recognition she receives. Thank you again for being such an important part of my wedding day. 💕

I recently had the pleasure of having Hayley do my makeup for my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Hayley always gets it right and on the rare occasion I want to change something because of my preferences Hayley makes you so comfortable to say!, she truly is the best makeup artist ever. On my special day, she not only made me look stunning but also made me feel confident and beautiful. Hayley's warm personality and attention to detail are unmatched. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist who will make you feel comfortable and look fabulous! Thank you, Hayley, for making my wedding day even more magical!

Perfect Wedding Make Up

I feel incredibly grateful to have had Hayley as my wedding make up artist! My make up was exactly how I wanted it, it included the adjustments Hayley and I agreed on post my make up trial and it stayed on for the entire wedding duration. I got so many compliments on my make up and requests for Hayley's details following the wedding. She was very professional throughout the whole booking process and such a calming yet cheery presence the morning of the wedding which was perfect.

Chefs kiss.

From that first email to the final touch up, Hayley was everything a bride could want from her make up artist. Conscientiousness and attention to detail can’t be matched, from a 2 hour very laugh filled trial to the email check ins, she made sure to make me feel my wedding was her priority too; her skills and quality of service was perfect, and we were all so happy with the end result. She stayed until right before the ceremony, even when I promised I wouldn’t cry when I saw my dad, but of course was on hand with that under eye brush as soon as I started bawling. She felt part of the girl gang and everybody was so happy with their final looks 🤍🖤🤍

More Than Makeup: Hayley's Exceptional Service

Hayley was an absolute gem to work with! Her talent is undeniable, and she has a knack for making her clients feel like queens. She not only listened attentively to our preferences but also offered expert advice and suggestions. The way she worked with my mum was truly heartwarming. She adapted her approach to ensure my mum felt beautiful and confident, and I was overwhelmed by the compliments she received. Beyond her exceptional skills, Hayley is a kind and professional individual. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly exceptional makeup artist. She will undoubtedly make your special day even more memorable.

The BEST ever!

Hayley was amazing from day 1, so informative and makes you feel at ease (even for me, who isn’t a make up person!). From the very first enquiry, to my trial and then my wedding day Hayley was a dream to work with. Hayley listened and created exactly what I wished for, my make up was absolutely stunning and lasted the entire day/night. I had so many compliments and I honestly felt amazing! Not only was Hayley’s make up unreal, it was like having an extra member of the bridal party, we had a giggle, Hayley helped with the little bits in the morning whilst we got ready and all round eased any worries/nervous! I felt like I’d known Hayley for a long time. Honestly, I cannot recommend enough 😊

Just perfect

I loved everything about Hayley and the service she provided on my big day. She was thoughtful, professional, fun and brought the best energy and positivity on the day. My make up was ON POINT! She is a true artist and I couldn’t have been happier with my overall look, it was glam but still me. She absolutely nailed it. I could not recommend Hayley more, she was so helpful from the moment I made contact. Thank you Hayley for everything xxx
