Congratulations on Your Engagement!

Exciting times ahead, right?! As you plan the wedding of your dreams, one of the most important things is to look and feel radiant on your special day. That’s where Karen comes in—your new best friend in bridal beauty!

With over 24 years of experience and a shelf full of awards to prove it, Karen isn’t just a makeup artist—she’s your personal guide and friend throughout the entire wedding journey. Many of her clients have said she’s like a friend who’s there for them every step of the way, and that’s something Karen takes to heart. She’s all about creating a stress-free, joyful, and magical morning for you. Think of Karen as your makeup artist, hype woman, and your calm amid the excitement. She’s there for everything: from creating the perfect bridal look to making sure you have someone to lean on in those last few moments before you say “I do.”

It’s Not Just About the Makeup, It’s About YOU!

Let’s be real: The hours before your wedding can feel like a whirlwind of emotions (and maybe a little bit of stress), but with Karen by your side, you’ll never feel alone. Karen’s clients rave about how she goes above and beyond—they love how she’s there not only to perfect their makeup but to be a comforting, reassuring presence in those last moments before the big walk down the aisle. Need a quick lip touch-up after champagne? Karen’s on it. Need help with your dress or a quick laugh to ease your nerves? She’s your girl. Karen’s warmth and genuine care ensure you’ll feel like you’re spending the morning with a friend, not just a makeup artist.

From your first chat to the moment you say “I do,” Karen’s approach to customer care is second to none. She’s a listener, a guide, and a cheerleader all rolled into one. Karen’s clients often describe her as the calm, friendly face they needed in the chaos of wedding day prep—and it’s her commitment to treating every bride like family that makes her stand out. Her approachable, down-to-earth personality and constant smile will ensure your makeup experience is not just flawless, but also full of joy, laughter, and memories that will last long after your wedding day.

The best super talented Wedding make up artist

Karen is an absolute make up magician and a total angel. I had the best wedding morning with her, she was such a giggle and did a brilliant job of keeping me calm, nothing was too much trouble, from getting me in my dress, to staying with me until the very last minute. I have never felt more beautiful, the way she did my make up blew me away, I felt and looked amazing. She also styled my hair and it looked stunning. If you want someone who will make you look absolutely stunning and feels like one of your girl pals you should absolutely book her. Thank you so much Karen

Karen is simply the best!

Karen was absolutely amazing! She did my make up as a bridesmaid for my best friends wedding yesterday and I had nothing but compliments all day from the guests. I felt so glam. Karen really is just lovely as well, very easy to chat with whilst she was doing our make up, she talked through products used and made sure we were all happy with the final look before she finished. Honestly by the end of the service we all wanted this lady to be our friend! I will definitely book her for make up again in the future and I will happily be recommending her to absolutely everyone. 🩷

Karen is amazing

Karen did my make-up last months as well as my bridesmaids' and my mum's - we were all so happy with it, Karen did a fantastic job! My mum was especially happy as she never wears make-up but she loved hers done by Karen. Karen is also absolutely hilarious and so lovely to chat to - it was just like having your make-up done by one of your friends. Thank you so much Karen!

Karen is a real life Fairy Godmother 💕

Karen made me feel like the most beautiful women in the world in my wedding day. From start to finish she looked after me. I had a trial before the big day which was so helpful and informative. What Karen doesn’t know about weddings isn’t worth knowing. Her make up skills are top class. On my special day she not only did mine and my families make up and hair to perfection, she also looked after us all. Nothing was too much bother for her. She helped me with how to hold my flowers, got me in my dress, calmed me down with kind words (which was very much needed!) and she also showed me how to go to the toilet and not spoil my dress. If you are looking for someone to be the icing on top of your wedding cake…look no further. She is a master of her art and I hope she continues making brides dreams come true for many years to come. 100 stars 🌟

If Carlsberg did Make up artists!! She's the best!!

What can I say this lady made my wedding morning!! She is the loveliest, kindest, most amazing make up artist ever!! She went above and beyond to make my morning the best ever. She ended up doing my hair and my bridesmaids hair as we were let down She is a true professional and her work is awesome. If she can make me look like this (see photos) She is funny, kind and felt like she was a friend from the start!! I cannot rave enough about her!! Would highly recommend her 100 percent to anyone who will listen she is just amazing!!!

Meet my furry pals! 🐾 I’m a proud dog mum to two rescued greyhounds, and while they’re not part of the makeup magic, they’re always around to offer a little extra love and joy. If you’d like to meet them during your makeup trial, they’d be absolutely thrilled to say hello (but no pressure!). They’re super chill, and I promise they’re the perfect little companions for your trial experience if you’re up for some extra cuddles. 💕
