Fantastic!

I was so nervous going to a makeup artist as I have always suffered with bad rosacea. Justine was so understanding and helpful from the very beginning and put me at ease during my consultation. We worked out a great look, based on my skin requirements and imagery.

The consultation was so useful to try out the makeup for the day and find out what would work well. Justine was really understanding with feedback and we adjusted the plan for the day.

On my wedding day, Justine showed up and immediately fitted in so well with our group dynamic. She listened to the wants and needs of my bridesmaids and provided beautiful looks for both including perfectly colour matching East Asian skin and lining monolid eyes. Justine also worked fantastically well with my mum, who is very anti makeup, and made her feel incredibly comfortable and look beautiful!

Justine’s care and attention on my own makeup was perfect, I so appreciated her quick thinking matching a lip liner to one of my favourite lipsticks that I brought with me and even coming up with a way of blocking the very bright sunlight from our faces whilst working! The finished looks stayed in place so well on all four of us, even with high humidity and hot weather - and through dancing the night away too!

I’d have no hesitation in recommending Justine, she was truly fantastic and I’m so grateful for her care and attention!

The best make-up artist and person - you will not regret booking with Justine!!

I will start by simply stating: Justine is the best!! Her natural talent and incredible skill in make up is not the only thing that makes her stand out as a Bridal make up artist - she is also one of the loveliest people I have ever been lucky enough to meet! You must book with her!!

I first came across Justine when my sister booked her for her bridal make up in 2023 and I knew immediately that if I were to get married any time soon then I would just have to book with her. Fast forward to June that same year when I got engaged, one of the first things I did following the engagement was request Justine's services for my own wedding and I was so relieved when she confirmed availability for my wedding date as I truly saw her as a non-negotiable in my list of suppliers.

My consultation was so lovely as it was like catching up with an old friend and Justine made me feel so at ease as we discussed the type of bridal look I was after and she offered her expertise in a friendly, professional manner!

Justine was so helpful in the lead up to the wedding, checking in on whether I wanted any changes following the consultation, as well as just generally matching my excitement for the big day which felt so special and personal. She offered invaluable advice on skin care, and presented a super helpful timeframe to follow for the morning of the wedding so that I could organise my bridal party and feel more prepared on how the morning was going to go.

Justine is simply the warmest, kindest and friendliest person which is just the type of person you want with you on your wedding day morning - she created such a calm and yet exciting presence during the morning of my wedding and it really did feel like having an extra friend there with us as we got ready.
She is beyond talented and made me look and feel absolutely amazing - my bridal look was everything I had hoped for and more. She had listened to every detail of what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I will never forget the feeling of seeing my completed make up for the first time on the morning of my wedding and feeling so incredibly special in my own skin - the way that woman makes your cheeks glow is unmatched!!
My bridal party could not sing her praises enough - and one of my bridesmaids even said she wished Justine could do her make up every day (same, girl)! I remember feeling so sad as I said goodbye to her on the morning of the wedding because it felt like saying goodbye to a friend, while also knowing she wouldn't be doing my make up every day which would be the absolute dream!

Justine supplied a top-up kit with the products she had used for my look, so that I could freshen up the make up later on in the day. Although I must say, other than re-applying some lipstick after dinner, the make up really didn't need much of a top up as it held so well - from the tears during the ceremony and speeches, and the biggest grin I had on my face the whole day, the make up stayed in place and remained looking fresh and flawless!

If you are looking for a natural, soft glam that makes you feel like a picture-perfect bride, while still feeling like yourself on your wedding day then you simply must book with Justine! I cannot recommend her enough and trust me when I say you will not regret it!

Thank you so much Justine for everything you did from our first encounter to the day of my wedding (and all the special messages after!) - you are simply the best!

I loved my makeup, I loved how I looked, and I absolutely love her.

I searched for ages to find the right makeup artist. I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup, and as soon as I found Justine’s page, I just knew she was the one for me.

I’ve been a bit obsessed with her work ever since! We’d been chatting because I also work in the wedding industry, and from the moment I booked her, she was so kind, professional, and generous with her time. My consultation was wonderful, I absolutely loved being pampered and soaking up all of her expertise (and yes, I bombarded her with questions!).

In the lead-up to the wedding, I made a few changes to what I wanted, and on the morning itself, Justine took so much care to tailor everything to exactly what I wanted. She constantly checked in with me, happily adjusted anything I asked, and made sure I felt completely comfortable.

When I saw the final look, I couldn’t believe it. It was my dream makeup. Despite months of skin prep, stress had got to me and it showed on my skin but somehow Justine made me look radiant. My makeup felt light and airy, never heavy or uncomfortable, yet it gave me the most beautiful coverage. My skin looked dewy and glowy, and I honestly felt so beautiful.

I’d always assumed I’d be self-conscious looking back at my wedding photos, but I couldn’t stop smiling. I looked at every photo thinking, my goodness, I actually look amazing! The only sad part is that I don’t get to look like that every day!

Justine was an absolute dream to work with. She was kind and patient with my bridesmaids and my mum who looked stunning too. She even gave me the cutest little top-up kit which I completely forgot to use because my makeup stayed perfect all day and night!

I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She made me feel like the most beautiful person in the world, and that confidence stayed with me the whole day. I loved my makeup, I loved how I looked, and I absolutely love her.

Justine is amazing - book her!!!

I cannot recommend Justine enough if you're thinking about booking her for your wedding day! Makeup was one of the last suppliers I booked as I was so nervous about not liking it or not feeling like me as I don't wear much makeup day to day. However as soon as I saw Justine's style of makeup I knew she would be a good fit. On my trial she made me feel so at ease and really listened to all of my concerns and was so helpful as well in helping indecisive me to know what style to go for. Her knowledge of all the products is amazing and after my trial I was so excited then about my makeup on the day. Justine brought the lovely Rhi with her as there were 6 bridesmaids, 2 mums and myself's makeup to do in the morning. Rhi was also an incredible makeup artist too and her style fit in perfectly with Justine's so everyone felt incredible. Both Justine Rhi were absolutely perfect on the day they felt like one of the girls getting ready and we had such a laugh together. They made everyone feel so at ease including a couple of people who were nervous about having their makeup done because of their sensitive skin. I was absolutely over the moon with my bridal makeup I felt like me but the best me which is exactly what you want on the day. I was nervous about feeling like my makeup was heavy as sometimes makeup can feel like a sensory overload on me but I honestly couldn't feel it and it stayed perfect for the whole day. Thank you again so so much you gorg lady!

Pure Perfection

I cannot adequately express how amazingly talented Justine is. I’ve had my makeup done professionally a few times and always really not liked it - I didn’t look like me, and I didn’t feel good about myself. But with Justine, I felt like the best version of me, and all of my bridal party felt absolutely amazing.

And to top it all off, she’s the best person to have by your side on your wedding morning. She’s calm, kind, fun, and pure sunshine in a person. Her communication beforehand was also incredible - I felt so important and taken care of.

Thank you Justine, for being the best of the best.

Beautiful natural make-up

What can I say? Justine was absolutely incredible! From the moment she arrived on the morning of the wedding, she made everyone feel so comfortable and at ease. She brought such a warm, positive energy that it felt like she was part of the bridal party—always happy, accommodating, and willing to help with anything we needed.

Her communication leading up to the wedding was flawless. Even before our trial, she reassured me that she was there to answer any questions or concerns. During the trial at her home, she made both my mum and me feel completely relaxed, and the results were stunning. I’ve never felt more beautiful in my life!

On the wedding day, Justine’s artistry truly shone. All of my bridesmaids were in love with their makeup, and my mum—who had never had her makeup done professionally before—was absolutely thrilled with her look. Seeing her so happy and confident was a moment I’ll never forget.

If you’re thinking about booking Justine, don’t hesitate—she’s simply incredible. Thank you so much, Justine, for making our day so special!

Amazing MUA for my wedding day

Justine did the makeup on my wedding day for me, my mum and bridesmaids, and she did an amazing job! We had so many compliments from people on the day that the makeup suited everyone so well. It also lasted very well throughout the day, I only needed to reapply lipstick after eating which Justine had provided to help with the touch ups. The trial was also a great experience, and she made sure to check in case I wanted to adjust anything. In general everything went very smoothly and I felt at ease throughout. I would definitely recommend Justine to future brides!

Justine is just Fabulous

Justine was AMAZING!! I knew from our first email, she was going to be my make up artist! She made me and my bridal party feel at ease, relaxed and just fit right in! She was understanding, considerate and best of all, she was like Picasso with a make up brush!! She gave me the most romantic, soft glam look I was going for. I couldn’t of wished for a better Make up artist to share my wedding day with! On a personal note Justine has the kindest soul, she’s easy to talk too and is just the nicest human I’ve ever come across.

Beautiful natural look makeup

I had Justine do my Bridal makeup for my wedding along with my maid of honour and mums makeup too. Justine is so friendly and so understanding of everyones preferences and really made us all look lovely. I was apprehensive of getting my makeup done as I wanted a natural look and Justine did that. Would highly recommend using her for any makeup needs!
Thank you Justine

The best experience from start to finish

Im so glad I booked Justine to do my make up, her customer journey from start to finished is so well thought out. She’s thought of every little thing to make sure the lead up to, and the big day go as smoothly as possible. I don’t wear a lot of make up day to day so wanted a really natural but glowly look. When I’ve had my make up done in the past I’ve always thought it looked too much - I expressed this to Justine and she really listened and I loved the end result. I still looked and felt like me but with a wonderful glow and a bit of sparkle on my eyes. On the morning she was such a calming presence which helped create such a perfect wedding morning atmosphere! I would highly recommend Justine to anyone looking for wedding make up she is fab!

An exquisite make up artist and friend for life

I chose Justine for my wedding makeup and my goodness it was the best choice I could have made. Justine is so beyond lovely, warm and welcoming for my trial and put me so at ease. Her romantic and glowy style was exactly what I wanted for myself and bridesmaids and Justine did not disappoint. I had so many compliments on my make up and it held all day as did my bridesmaids. Justine kept in touch throughout the entire process and I feel like I’ve made a friend for life. I couldn’t recommend Justine enough.
