Above and beyond!!!
I can’t recommend Joanna enough!!
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!
Bridal Makeup Perfection
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!
Joanna is amazing
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
Positive, reassuring energy
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.
Joanna is amazing! 💄
The best choice I 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.

An absolute angel of a makeup artist!
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
A Wedding Morning Filled with Grace – Thanks to Joanna Plimmer Makeup Artist
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
The best person to have beside you on your wedding day

The very best
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.
Absolute perfection!
