Reviews for Joanna Plimmer Makeup Artist
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!

You will have no regrets booking Joanna!
Joanna was so thoughtful and kind. She took the time to listen to my bridal team during the makeup trial, which really mattered as the age range was from 32 to 92!
I still wanted to look like myself in my wedding day but an enhanced version of myself and Joanna definitely hit the brief!
On the day of our wedding, Joanna was so calm and took the time to chat to everyone and enjoy the morning together. She was also great helping me when I was getting ready which on a practical level, was just great!
I am already thinking of lots of other events I am going to book Joanna for as she had a huge talent and I need her in my life lol!
Thanks again Joanna!
You would be crazy to choose anyone else!
Outstanding 🤍
Her professionalism shone through in everything she did. She was incredibly organized, punctual, and attentive to every detail. Most importantly, her work was outstanding. She made each of us feel our absolute best — enhancing our natural beauty without ever feeling overdone. The makeup lasted all day and night, even through the happy tears and hours of dancing!
Joanna is not only incredibly talented, but also so warm and genuine. She made getting ready one of the best parts of the day. I can't thank her enough for helping us all feel so confident and beautiful. Highly, highly recommend Joanna to any bride — she is truly exceptional!
Our Fairy Godmother,
Worth every penny! Joanna goes above and beyond!
Our make up was stunning, I have never felt so looked after and at ease, the colours Joanna used so complimented my skin tone and eye colour and the products felt lovely on my skin nothing was too heavy.
Joanna’s company for those hours was just what was needed and I was so grateful to have her there for last minute touches of make up for photos, taping dresses, placing shoes on and helping to make my sister feel calm and comfortable. Joanna went above and beyond and it was so appreciated.
It makes such a difference using people who are well versed in weddings, particularly who have worked at the venue. It was so lovely to watch how well Joanna worked around our photographer, taking into consideration what he needed as well, it’s those things that take the stress out of an exciting and emotional day and just allow things to flow and be enjoyed.
Flawless & Timeless
Joanna is so organised and instantly knew what she needed to do to achieve the look we all wanted.
The trial was amazing and Joanna is so easy to chat to, it's like you're talking to someone you've been friends with forever!
On the day, Joanna was so calming and also my biggest hype gal! She made me feel phenomenal!
Joanna is amazing - talented and lovely in equal measure x
Joanna absolutely understands bridal make-up and weddings. Not only an incredibly talented artist who made us look and feel phenomenal, but on that magical (and fun-but-chaos!) morning, Joanna became part of our family x
She was completely in her element. Making sure everything was perfect not just at the time, but that it would still be perfect 14 hours later too! Even providing each of us touch-up lippy for later! Absolutely amazing.
Joanna's kindness and support didn't stop at our gorgeous make-up either... from helping us with tricky jewellery, working with fidgeting flower girls, tying beautiful dress bows on bridesmaids and carrying flowers to being a calm and reassuring presence when arrangements elsewhere weren't quite going to plan! 😉😆
As I am sure all brides would agree, bridal preparation time is full of so many emotions and being surrounded by your most trusted people is everything. For every reason, Joanna is the perfect choice x
Joanna, you're amazing. We all looked and felt gorgeous, all thanks to you. I'm so glad you were there with us and can't thank you enough x
