The Best!!!

Julie was honestly the most lovely person and had such a calming and caring nature that it really helped keep me calm the morning of the wedding. Julie did makeup for myself (the bride) and 4 of my bridesmaids as well as MOG. She made sure all the girls felt happy with their looks and really listened to their wants/needs etc. I would highly recommend Julie and would book her again for sure if needed.

Our makeup looked beautiful ALL day!! Would have lasted a lot longer if required.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!

Fabulous Juile

Juile was great, from the trial to the big day, there were a few changes alone they way, adding people , people dropping out , Juile just took it all in her stride . She was very professional from start to finish and was always on hand when needed. We all looked incredible on the day . I didn’t want to wash my make up off at the end of the night!. I would definitely recommend Juile to anyone getting married.

Review of Julie Chalk

Julie could not have been more helpful from our first point of contact. She did a trial make-up session with the bride and me (mother of the bride) and could not have been more caring and attentive. On the day, she was a calm presence and her make-up was just perfect. I highly recommend Julie!

Bridal party make up

I booked Julie for mine and my bridal party make up. Highly recommended Julie. During my trial session, Julie really took the time to understand my vision for the day. Julie listened to my ideas and gave great advice, making me feel confident about the look we were going for.
On the day of the Wedding Julie arrived right on time and set up quickly. She created a calm, enjoyable atmosphere, making everyone feel relaxed and excited. Julie also worked seamlessly with my hair stylist and made sure I was the last one done to avoid rushing. Thank you so much Julie! X

Such a wonderful addition to my wedding!

Julie is an incredibly skilled makeup artist who really listened to what I wanted on my wedding day. As I hardly ever wear a full face of makeup, Julie used products that were lightweight and perfect for the occasion. I had many comments about my incredible eye makeup, which had a touch of glamour whilst looking very natural. My mum shared the experience and she was also very happy with her makeup and Julie's friendly manner. Thank you so much for being part of my wedding day Julie and for helping me to feel beautiful, I 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience - 5*

Julie did mine and my mum’s makeup on my wedding day and we couldn’t be happier with the result! Julie is so friendly and came to my house to do a trial before the big day which was really useful as I’d never had my makeup done professionally before. I would definitely recommend Julie for wedding make-up :)

Wedding Make-Up

Julie was a real find.
She was very understanding at the make-up trial and produced just what the bride wanted (a subtle and flattering finish which created impact but she still looked like herself). Julie was happy to do a few tweaks when asked as well.
On the wedding morning, we had a very tight schedule and there were 5 of us for make-up, each with our own requirements and preferences. We were all happy with the results and all happened according to the timetable.
As mother of the bride and someone who usually wears very little make-up, I was pleased with the subtle yet effective result.
The bridesmaids preferred more of an impact with their make-up and were also happy.
Julie fitted in so well that it felt like she was part of things without being in the way. We were all at ease and chatting while make-up was done.
Julie is a lovely lady and the service we received was just right.

Felt So Beautiful

Julie did my makeup for my wedding in 2024 as well as my bridesmaids. I felt really beautiful. Julie did a look that transitioned beautifully to the evening and was there on the day in plenty of time to get us all ready. The trial was done at my house which made it very easy for me to make the time to have this done and Julie made any tweaks I needed.

Wedding mua

I booked Julie for my wedding make up artist after many recommendations. I was not disappointed!

Julie initially asked me to collect pictures of the styles and type of make up look I liked ahead of my make up trial- really good idea!
Julie also gathered more info about the style of wedding I was having that helped narrow down (with her wealth of experience) a couple of options for me and also my mum.

On the day Julie arrived in good time together with her box of tricks that meant my makeup didn’t shift all day! She also gave me a bit of lipstick to top up my colour as the day went on.
Helpful tip she shared was whilst I wanted a natural look there had to be enough colour for me not to look washed out in the photos (photos apparently drain your colour - who knew!)

Very competitively priced-you get what you pay for!

If you want to look a million dollars Julie has all the smoke and mirrors and tricks to make that happen!

Super professional and above all friendly.

Julie Made My Wedding Day Perfect!

Julie was absolutely incredible on my wedding day! From the moment I first got in touch, she was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. She really listened to what I wanted and offered great advice. On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her. I felt completely relaxed and confident knowing she had everything under control. I can't recommend her highly enough – thank you Julie for making my wedding so special!"
