The most amazing make up artist

Irene made me feel so comfortable around her and she really knew how to get the look that I wanted. I wasn't sure at first, but she asked really excellent questions and got to know me as a person to help with the finished look. Irene will not let you leave until you look perfect and she does it with such ease! Thank you so much Irene, I couldn't recommend you enough. HIRE HER! :)

Best makeup and hair out there!

Irene is truly incredible. By far the best makeup and hair styling experience I have had and she was SO personalised with her input and responses. I very much felt in the centre of any decisions, but she was also very clear about what was realistic with my features. I even last minute changed my mind about my hair on the day and she delivered amazingly! Her manner is fantastic, she is so calming and reassuring to chat to. I have never felt so beautiful - if I could have Irene get me ready every day I would in a heartbeat 😂

Wow - Wow - Wow - Amazing artist, beautiful person

Irene stood out to me when she called me to understand my style of make-up. At first, I was sceptical of a call, I thought make-up was simple but when she explained to me her craft a bit more, I knew she really cared about the bride's vision and the final image. We met for a trial and asked the right questions, and knew what would suit me and made me feel so comfortable. I was quite nervous but she was so lovely and warm and encouraging and just a pleasure to be around. Very grateful I found her! We all looked incredible.

Highly recommend Irene. She is the best

Irene did my makeup for my wedding party. We were having a very intimate celebration in a bar with only our closest friends. I wanted to feel special but still look like myself, and I couldn’t have found anyone better than Irene to help me achieve that.

From our very first phone call, she was incredibly supportive and kind. I had never had my hair and makeup professionally done before, and she carefully explained every step to me. She was so generous with her time and super open and honest, which I appreciated so much.

In the months leading up to the wedding, I was also dealing with some dermatological issues. Irene was so thoughtful and helpful in guiding me through them, alongside the advice from my dermatologist.

On the day itself, she was the most wonderful company to have around. My partner and I were getting ready together, and she made both of us feel completely at ease. She even helped me with my dress and took beautiful photos of our first look.

Irene is so generous with her time and knowledge, and she gave me plenty of recommendations. I often find makeup stressful, especially choosing the right shades, but her advice was absolutely invaluable.

I honestly cannot recommend Irene enough—she is the best!

The make up artist of dreams

Super kind, attentive, professional and the best make up and hair ever!

Super talented, loved every second of the pre wedding test day and the day of the wedding itself. Irene went above and beyond to make me and my bridal party feel and look amazing!

I want to get married again just so I can have another day of make up and hair with her!

Fantastic communication with regular check ins! Perfect timetable and extremely well organised!

Expectacular make-up artist and hair stylist

Irene was my make-up artist and hair stylist for my wedding. She also did my mum’s hair and make-up.

My mum and I had a fantastic experience. Irene was charismatic, kind and professional. She explained the process in detail and made us look beautiful and polished.

The package I booked included a face-to-face session before the big day, during which she tried different hairstyles and makeup intensities based on what I was looking for until we reached the level I wanted. Having this session was the best decision I could have ever made, and I recommend it to every bride, as Irene tailors everything to your liking and needs.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience, Irene. You made my mum and me feel so special at my wedding. Thank you also for being so patient with me throughout the whole process. You are super talented, and anyone who works with you can tell how much dedication and passion you put into your work.

Amazing result and process!

Irene was super responsive and made it work even though I was very last minute. She listened to my requests and the result was really perfect! I got so many compliments and felt great. I recommend for both makeup and hair :)

Fantastic!

I couldn't recommend Irene more! I was initially on the fence about hiring a hair and makeup professional for my wedding as I don't usually wear a lot of make up and worried about not feeling myself. From the first conversation with Irene I was reassured I was in good hands. She was so kind and professional, listened to me, and costs were very clear. The trial was so much fun and the wedding day it just felt like Irene was one of the girls whilst working so quickly and doing so much. She did my hair and makeup as well as three bridesmaids and they all looked so stunning. My make up and hair also stayed all day despite summer heat!

Amazing Experience For Make-up & Hair On Wedding Day!

Irene was fantastic for my wedding day makeup and hair! From start to finish, she made the entire experience so special and stress-free.

Leading up to the wedding, Irene was communicative - she took the time to share ideas and really understand what I wanted. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the planning process.

On the actual day, Irene was a great combination of professional and warm. She made sure I got the look I had envisioned and completed everything on time without any stress. Most importantly, she made me feel beautiful on the most important day.

I couldn't be happier with Irene's work and would recommend her to any bride looking for someone who truly cares about making your special day perfect.

Irene was perfect

Where to start? From the moment I started communicating with Irene, she made me feel heard, and created such a wonderful sense of comfort. She not only created a perfect bridal look for myself, but also did my mom and sister's hair and makeup. And my goodness were the looks beautiful and fresh! Oh! AND she did was kind enough to do my husband's man bun, which was simply the cherry on top. Irene, thank you for making us feel gorgeous. You were a joy and I'll recommend you to everyone I know!

Phenomenal!

Words can’t quite describe how incredible Irene and her work was. From the very first message Irene was so enthusiastic, kind and helpful, and I felt completely relaxed and reassured. The trial was so much fun, and Irene perfectly guided me through my ideas and gave helpful suggestions to create the look I was going for. I had complete trust that we would achieve exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. Irene even gave me an amazing restaurant recommendation for nearby her studio, and friend and I had the most delicious meal after a wonderful morning.

My request for the wedding day look was “I want to look like me, but sparkly” and Irene delivered this 110%. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and got many compliments to the same effect. Irene gave me recommendations of skin care routine prior to the wedding which worked so well. All of my bridesmaids, mum and mother-in-law also looked beautiful and felt amazing. Irene’s work is simply phenomenal!

Most importantly, Irene is the loveliest person. She was so kind, attentive, relaxing and funny. Throughout our communication I felt so supported with any question I asked. On the day itself Irene was such a wonderful presence in my morning, calming the nerves, hyping me up, and joining in the fun with me and my bridesmaids. She really made the morning even more special, and I am so grateful.

In short, I cannot recommend Irene highly enough - book her NOW!!!!

Exactly the kind of makeup and hair artist you want on your wedding day

Irene was fantastic from start to finish. She was incredibly communicative, helpful, and supportive, which made the whole experience stress-free. The makeup was natural and enhanced my features beautifully without feeling heavy. The hair was intricate and elegant, and she executed it perfectly, based on an idea that I had. She worked efficiently but never rushed, delivering an amazing result. I felt completely confident in her hands and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable bridal hair and makeup artist!

Irene is a very talented hair & make up artist - 100% recommend her!

Irene is an incredibly talented make up artist and hair stylist. I absolutely would recommend her services! She did my hair and make up for our civil ceremony in November, and she made the entire experience so relaxed and amazing. She’s very professional and organised, and so friendly - it feels like you are getting ready with a dear friend. Her services included a hair & make up trial where we spent time together to create “the look”, so on the day of the ceremony she was able to recreate it to perfection, all while keeping me calm and excited for the day ahead. My hair style and make up lasted all day, and even in the evening it still looked fresh! I had so many compliments about it.
She is a true professional and a lovely person.

Great MUA!

Irene was super responsive when booking/organising as well as flexible. She understood what I was looking for and was incredibly patient as she did not only do my make up (I was the bride) but also 5 more people. She worked tirelessly and always in a good mood. We all loved her, fully recommend!
