The PERFECT MUA - and more than just that

I first can across Helena at my best friend's wedding in 2023, where I was a bridesmaid. I honestly had never looked so good, so, when I got engaged in December 2023, there was no question as to who I would have paint my face for our special day! Besides the venue, Helena was the first supplier I booked!

She has been so kind, considerate and incredibly informative in the run up to the wedding. As someone who is fairly uneducated when it comes to make-up and skincare, I looked to Helena for advice and guidance to ensure I was able to provide the best possible canvas and we achieved the look I had in mind on the day. Helena not only helped with make-up choices but gave me so much advice in relation to skincare and prep, and even tanning advice!

When I went for my trial, I was a little nervous, but I was soon put at ease and I fell in love with my own face! Helena was a magician! It was such a lovely experience to share with my Mum, to spend the afternoon chatting with Helena, talking through our plans, laughing and joking and jut getting to know each other has really been such a pleasure!

Post trial, Helena painstakingly analysed photos of the make-up, and the photos I had taken through the day to show how the make-up had lasted, to really perfect the look. The results really spoke for themselves!

My make- up survived a teary start to the ay (I was an emotional wreck), an unseasonably warm October (20 degree heat in a long sleeved dress!), an evening of sweaty dancing and headbanging (I'm no wallflower) and even survived being locked outside of my venue on a windy evening for 20 minutes!

Helena was so attentive, she was able to capture exactly what I was looking for and not only that, managed to smash through 4 bridesmaids and a mother of the bride in record speed! She was also so understanding and helpful with my Mum. She had not been well and was suffering with the previously mentioned warm weather, and as such had sweated off much of her make up prior to the ceremony, but it was not trouble for Helena to touch up her make up, and make sure that she felt as close to herself as she could before we started the day! It really meant so much to me that she would take the time with each of us and get to know us and understand our individual needs.

Never overlook make-up! Its such an important start to the day, and having the right person, who can bring the right vibe, and can listen to your bridesmaids individual needs is so important! Everyone needs to feel comfortable and feel at their best for the day - not just the Bride!!

I am so thankful that I came across Helena and I am so honoured that she had painted my face for such a momentous day in my life - I just wish I could have her do my make up every day!!!

Perfection

If you want flawless perfection - this is the gal you need!!!
From start to finish Helena knows her stuff. She arrived on time and with a happy ready to go attitude. She was so confident and even with my mum who never wears makeup and hesitant do so, she made her feel and look incredible.
Helena was fantastic at my trial when I couldn't decide on lipstick colours, and on the day helping to decide my bridesmaids colourings.
Helena is second to none and your wedding makeup would not be perfection without her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
