Joanna Plimmer Makeup Artist

Joanna is absolutely fantastic and I cannot recommend her enough! From my trial to the day itself, she was incredibly professional and friendly, always checking in to make sure I was comfortable and making me feel completely at ease as it was my first time having my makeup done professionally! I’d chosen to use her through a recommendation from a friend, and it was clear from her Instagram portfolio how talented she is. She did makeup for myself, three bridesmaids, and the MOB and MOG and all I can say is WOW!!! We all looked absolutely beautiful and the experience of having our makeup done was just so lovely. Joanna is truly a master of her art, and we are all so happy with the experience she gave us. She will make you feel like an absolute princess, and as she stays with you until just before you walk down the aisle, your wedding morning will be an absolute breeze; as I said earlier, I cannot recommend her enough!!

I honestly couldn’t recommend Joanna enough! She was absolutely incredible from start to finish and made me and my bridal team feel so amazing and confident. She went above and beyond to make the whole morning feel seamless, relaxed and completely stress-free. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her makeup skills are honestly insane! I felt like the best version of myself on my wedding day. I’m so grateful to have had her be part of such a special morning 🤍

Joanna was incredible from start to finish!
I booked her quite early on in my wedding planning and she was so lovely from the very beginning. She always very fast at responding to enquires and giving a quote
for myself and my bridal party.
When I went for my trial, she was amazing at working with them level of makeup I wanted.
I am not the most confident of people so I wasn’t comfortable with heavy/stand out makeup. Some how Joanna made me feel like a princess while making sure I still looked like me.
Her communication other lead up to the wedding was spot on. Always responding to messages quickly and even sent a ‘piece of mind’ message the day before confirming times of arrival in the morning.

On the wedding day Joanna was incredible, all the bridesmaids looked amazing all day.
She was more than a MUA she was more like an additional bridesmaid, hyping us up and claiming me down when i got overwhelmed. She was constantly reassuring me that i looked amazing when i was feeling self conscious.

In short Joanna is more than just an amazing MUA she is a hype girl, a problem solver, a calming influence and a talent that made a very self conscious bride feel like a princess!
I cannot recommend Joanna enough, I have never felt more amazing than i did on my wedding day and she was a huge part of that!
If you are looking for a MUA you NEED to book Joanna, you won’t regret it!

Joanna is absolutely incredible! I can’t recommend her enough!! I felt so beautiful and my bridesmaids and my mum looked absolutely gorgeous! They all said Joanna was so amazing and so lovely.
From the first message, she has been so lovely, helpful and there for me. My bridal trial was so much fun and Joanna listened to what I wanted, helping bring my vision to life. I am so in awe of her talent and just what a kind and lovely person she is.
You need to hire Joanna to do your make up!

I can't thank Joanna enough for how amazing she was. From the moment I met her, she was so warm, kind, and genuinely caring. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and made me feel completely at ease throughout the whole experience.
Her talent is incredible, but what really stood out was how thoughtful and helpful she was. She made me feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable, and the final look was even better than I had imagined. I received so many compliments and felt like the best version of myself. Even on the day Joanna was so calm, helping me into my dress and just looking after me when there was so much madness going on around me.
It's rare to meet someone who is not only exceptionally talented but also such a lovely person. I'm so grateful for all her hard work and kindness, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a make up artist

Joanna was an absolutely amazing makeup artist. From the moment she arrived, she made me feel completely at ease and was my personal hype crew throughout the whole morning while we were getting ready.

She did both my makeup and my Maid of Honour’s, and we were so happy with the results. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she was also on hand to help with anything else we needed throughout the morning, which was such a lovely touch and really helped keep everything calm and stress-free.

Joanna brought such a positive, reassuring energy to the day and made me feel confident, beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist and would highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who is not only skilled but also genuinely lovely to have around on your wedding morning.

From the trial, to my wedding day, Joanna made me feel so comfortable. For someone who doesn’t wear make up, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted but straight away Joanna knew exactly what to do! Her expertise and knowledge on make up was incredible, she made me feel so beautiful and my make up lasted all day (I didn’t want to take it off!). She is so friendly and approachable. On my wedding morning Joanna helped me to relax and kept the bridal suite so calm, she helped me into my wedding dress and topped me up with make up just before I walked down the aisle. I would highly recommend Joanna, she is super talented and just a genuinely lovely person!

I had been referred to Joanna by my photographer for our wedding and it was one of the best choices I have ever made!
I am not one who wears make-up or knows what product to apply and I wanted to be comfortable with myself on my wedding day. Joanna was brilliant with understanding how too much make-up would effect my confidence and applied very gentle light tones & shades of make-up. Joanna made sure that with every step of the way I was comfortable and If was not, she was more than happy to change or alter it.
Joanna has such a kind, bubbly and warm personality, which helped me massively with feeling comfortable with myself on my wedding day. Nothing was too much for Joanna, she paid attention to little details and did not treat me like another client. She was happy for me to text her, when I had concerns or needed advice on skin care. She paid attention to the little details, especially because my mum was undergoing chemotherapy at the time of our make-up trial. Joanna treated my mum with such dignity and respect and gave my mum the confidence boost she needed as well.
Joanna did an amazing job with mine, my mums and 2 bridal party make-up on my wedding day. Joanna was so efficient and even had time to help us out with our dresses and jewellery. Even when I had a wobble prior to walking down the aisle, Joanna spoke such kind words to me that made all my anxieties and nerves disappear. Joanna is such a kind soul and a truly talented person.

I had an amazing experience with Jo from start to finish. She welcomed me and my family into her beautiful home for the trial, where she was so friendly, professional, and thoughtful. She really took the time to understand how worried I was about making sure my makeup looked natural and suited my Asian skin tone, and she completely put me at ease. Her communication throughout was fantastic, and her easy payment schedule made everything so simple and stress-free.
On our wedding day, Jo brought my vision to life perfectly! The morning getting ready with my bridesmaids, Jo, and Lou (my hairstylist) was so relaxed and lovely—it honestly felt like a group of friends getting ready together rather than my wedding morning. Jo is incredibly creative, calm, and so much fun to be around, which made the whole experience even more special. After the dad reveal, my makeup needed more than a little rescue—Jo’s face was hilarious when she saw me, but she fixed everything in less than 10 minutes. A total magician! I couldn’t recommend her more—she’s incredibly talented and a wonderful presence to have around whilst you’re getting ready on your special day.

Thank you Jo! xxx

Joanna Plimmer is a true gem—an artist, a nurturer, and one of the very best in her profession. From the moment she arrived on our wedding morning, she brought a calm, radiant energy that set the tone for the day. Her attention to detail was impeccable. Every brushstroke felt intentional, every choice tailored to our vision and features.

Joanna didn’t just do our makeup—she cared for us. She listened, reassured, and made each of us feel seen and beautiful. My bridal look was everything I dreamed of: timeless, elegant, and glowing with joy. My family felt pampered and confident, and the atmosphere she created was warm, peaceful, and full of love.

She even took the time to brush up Nick and the father of the bride, adding those thoughtful finishing touches that made them feel polished and photo-ready. It was such a sweet gesture, and one more example of how Joanna goes above and beyond to make everyone feel special.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Joanna made this part feel effortless. Her professionalism, kindness, and intuitive touch made her an unforgettable part of our celebration. We are so grateful for her talent and heart.

Thank you, Jo, for giving us everything we needed—and more—on one of the most important days of our lives. XOXO, Priya, Nick, and Family

I am so glad I chose Joanna to be my make up artist. She communicated with me throughout my planning process, made sure I was happy during my makeup trial, and made my wedding day so calm. She made myself and my bridesmaids feel incrediblely beautiful, listening to each of us and making sure our makeup matched are own unique style and beauty. Joanna has such a kind and calming presence, I wouldn't of wanted anyone else helping me on my special day. She noticed straight away when i was getting overwhelmed and made sure I was moved to a calm environment, before fetching me anything I needed. She even sang a song for one of the children when they were feeling sad during photos. Joanna really cares about the brides she works with, and it shows in everything she does. She really goes above and beyond, you will not find anyone better to help you feel beautiful on your special day.

I honestly cannot recommend Joanna highly enough! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish, she made myself and all the girls feel so comfortable and helped with all the other little touches to make the wedding day run smoothly and feel really special. Her abilities for make up are outstanding and I cannot thank her enough for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day ❤️ I cannot recommend Joanna highly enough!

I cannot emphasise enough how incredible Joanna is. Joanna did my wedding make up as well as the bridal party and she exceeded all my expectations. We had people in the group that didn’t wear make up and those that like to get dolled up and everywhere in between but Joanna created a beautiful look to suit each individual person, it wasn’t a one size fits all, she took her time, listened to us all and made us all feel beautiful. I felt like a princess all day. My wedding was on an exceptionally hot day but come the end of the night, my make up was still in place. Joanna has been incredibly professional from the initial enquiry up until the end of the wedding and has just been everything you’d wish for in a make up artist and more. I truly couldn’t recommend her enough. Joanna, thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day- you are incredible x

Joanna was wonderful. Her calmness is just what a nervous bride needs!!! She sensed my nerves and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. From my trial to the big day, Joanna was there whenever I needed her. She made me feel so beautiful. Honestly, just the best person to have around you on your wedding morning. She listened to what look I was after and totally made it happen. She is the best. xx

There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful Joanna was on both my wedding day and in the lead up. I feel so grateful to have her a part of our wedding. From the trial where she patiently spent time getting the right look with me, to the lead-up often sending me reassuring texts to check I was OK, right through to the wedding day, where she was so calm and patient through the morning, not only staying back to touch up my make-up after a few emotional tears, but she then helped us all get out the door and down the aisle, taking pictures for us as we went. She went above and beyond.

Joanna is brilliant at what she does, and the entire bridal party spent the morning calling her a magician, such is her talent as a make-up artist. But more than that, Joanna is calm, supportive, kind, and really helped to settle my nerves when she could see they were getting the better of me - she genuinely cares about her brides and wants them to feel amazing. I couldn’t feel more grateful to have had Joanna as my make-up artist for my wedding, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you Joanna for all you did.
