Absolutely would hire again!

Kelly was so lovely to work with, and I’m so grateful I was able to find her and her hairdresser/MUA business partner, Perdip. She made me feel so beautiful and special, and she was so flexible with my tight schedule! She just made it work, knew exactly what she was doing, and I so appreciated her.

Glam Squad

Kelly was brilliant from start to finish. Really responsive to messages and helped me work out what I wanted and what would work best for my colouring and overall vibe. On the actual day, Kelly helped keep us all relaxed, and made us all feel really special and pampered. Especially my beautiful best friend who had only just had a baby. The makeup was stunning and it was a perfect morning getting glammed up. The makeup lasted all day and night - through all the smiling, happy tears and drinking!!! Thank you to Kelly for an amazing job (and for recommending Rachel for hair who was equally as brilliant!!) xx

The Glam team, you never knew you needed!

It was a truly magical day, set against the historic backdrop of the Tower of London.

I’m so grateful to Kelly, my makeup artist, for taking my booking at the very last minute. She is a true class act, professional, kind, and so talented. Kelly listened carefully to my needs and made both me and my bridesmaid look absolutely beautiful.

Deborah, the hairstylist, was equally incredible. Together, they created the perfect look and made us feel confident and radiant on such an important day. Words can’t fully express how amazing they both were!
I would 100% recommend Kelly and her team to any bride to be.

Kelly was brilliant from start to finish 5*****

I found Kelly after being let down by another make up artist. What a blessing in disguise this turned out to be. From the first phone call up to my wedding day Kelly was amazing, she has such a natural way about her, that made me feel at ease. I’d never had my make up done professionally and I normally do not wear much make up, I wanted to look like me on my wedding day and Kelly listened and made me look like a better version of me 😊 Kelly recommended a hairdresser who she works alongside, who was equally as fabulous. I can’t thank Kelly and Rachel enough for everything they did. The morning of the wedding was so chilled and this was down to Kelly and Rachel. Definitely would recommend xx

Fabulous!! ❤️

I am not great when it comes to make up so I wanted someone I could trust to make me look amazing on my wedding day. After searching, I am so happy I found and booked with Kelly.

Kelly was quick to respond to my initial contact and provided all the information I needed. When I had my trial I knew I had found a winner. Kelly was lovely, friendly and chatty, and made me feel so comfortable. On my wedding day, her perkiness helped me with my nerves, and as for the make up, well I was so happy!

Book Kelly for your day, or any event, you won’t be disappointed. I’d certainly use her again. ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Highly Recommend!

I booked Kelly for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! She did both my bridal hair and makeup as well as makeup and hair for my mum on the big day. We had a trial beforehand, and Kelly was really receptive to feedback — she adjusted my makeup at the end of the session to give me a more matte finish, which made me feel much more confident and truly like myself. She happily sent me recommendations on the products she used so I could purchase them for myself

What made me choose Kelly was her experience in makeup, her fair and realistic pricing, and the fact that she was open to doing both hair and makeup for a smaller booking like mine (without bridesmaids). She’s been taking hair styling classes, and I appreciated her honesty and passion for learning — it showed in the results.

On the wedding day, Kelly arrived punctually and fully prepared, with a wide range of makeup products and tools. While my hair ended up taking longer than expected (about 2 hours), she still worked calmly under pressure and made sure we were ready on time. The curls held beautifully all day, and my makeup stayed flawless well into the night!

My mum looked and felt like a queen — she absolutely loved her look and didn’t want to take it off. We received so many compliments, and Kelly added such a personal touch to the day. She even helped me into my dress, tightening the corset when I needed a hand. She’s not only talented but also a lovely person to be around, and her friendly presence helped keep things relaxed and joyful.

The only small note for the future would be to include an extension lead in her kit, especially when working in hotel rooms with limited sockets. That said, she already brings an incredibly thorough setup — from makeup and hair products to a styling chair and professional tools.

I would absolutely recommend Kelly to any bride looking for affordable, professional, and caring hair and makeup services. I would happily book her again for future events.

Thank you, Kelly, for making me and my mum feel so beautiful and special! 💕

The lovely Kelly makes us lovely!

Kelly was so easy to work with and a good communicator. Great value for money.
She really listened to our requests & matched colours with outfits. Her manner with my 6 year old granddaughter (a flower girl!) was superb!
All in all, Kelly gave us a super start to the Big Day - thank you so much, Kelly!!

Highly recommend

Kelly is great, very communicative and reassuring throughout the process. For my wedding she did make up for four people and hair for two of us and we were all very happy with the results.

I did a couple of trials before the wedding day and was also very pleased with how that went.

I’d highly recommend Kelly and I would use her services again.

Make-up for the bride and bridal party

I found Kelly by searching for a bridal make-up artist online. On 5 July 2025, Kelly did my make-up for my wedding, and the make-up for my bridesmaids and the mother of the groom. She is a true professional and an expert at what she does. Kelly provided advice about what would work best for each of us and the results were fantastic, everyone was really pleased. Kelly was very helpful in the planning for the day and flexible with the arrangements. She is a lovely lady and it was such a pleasure to meet her. Kelly was with us from 10am until just before I left for the wedding, and it never felt like she was in the way. She even brought a speaker for our tunes! Everyone looked beautiful, thanks to Kelly's skills and patience. She is a perfectionist and has a great eye for detail. I would highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for someone you can rely on 100%

Professional Makeup artist

From the moment I met Kelly I felt so at ease and happy in her presence. I have no idea when it comes to makeup so i didnt know where to begin but Kelly instantly knew what would go well with my skin tone and what would highlight my best features. Kelly felt like one of my bridal team on the day and went above and beyond to help too. I was so happy with my makeup and it lasted all evening and on the hottest day of the year too and will definitely be using Kelly again for future events.

Bridal and bridal party makeup

I employed Kelly to do my own wedding party and my own bride makeup after she did the makeup for my friends wedding and we had the best experience. She is very kind, accommodating and professional as well as being able to do a variety of styles. She accommodated my sisters skin allergies, and adjusted the style for each bridesmaid based on what they wanted. She did a perfect replica of the trial I had with her before and made me look so beautiful. She was supportive, punctual and brought great vibes to the bridal suite. I would 100% recommend her, great pricing too, just a fantastic experience!

Flawless make up

I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough! From the moment I sat in her chair, I knew I was in expert hands. She has a calm, warm presence that immediately puts you at ease, and her professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched.

She truly listens to what you want and somehow brings it to life even better than you imagined. Whether you're going for a natural, glowing look or full glam, she nails it every time. She used high-quality products, tailored everything perfectly to my skin tone and features, and made sure everything stayed flawless for hours. I received so many compliments on my makeup!

What sets Kelly apart is not just her technical skill but her genuine passion for making people feel confident and beautiful. She’s punctual, organized, and incredibly talented – exactly who you want with you on your special day.

Whether it’s for a wedding, photoshoot, or event, Kelly is the makeup artist you want. I wouldn't go to anyone else!
