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.

Gorgeous makeup

Kelly made me feel and look beautiful! She asked questions about what I wanted for my wedding make up and somehow deciphered from my answers the vibe I was going for and hit the brief bang on. I could not have been more pleased with the result. My bridesmaids also all looked stunning and they all have different skin and styles - Kelly really is excellent at what she does. On top of being a professional, Kelly is also lovely, and made everyone feel comfortable in what could have been a high stress environment.

Wedding makeup

Kelly did my makeup and hair for me on the 5th of August 2026. She did a great job ask if i was happy with everything. We had a trail done before which I paid for. Kelly prices was so good that I looked around for and she is so friendly could not have asked for anyone else to be part of my special day thank you.

Kelly is a Godsent!

Kelly did my makeup for our wedding last month and I have been meaning to leave a glowing review ever since. From our initial trial, she was very skilled in bringing out my natural features and could advise me on what kind of glam would look best on my face. She listened to personal preferences when tweaking the look to be more bronze and did the makeup of my dreams on the big day itself, all whilst being a lovely presence to be around that morning. Most importantly, the look withstood the test of time and stayed firmly in place after many happy tears and sweat on the dancefloor. I really never felt more beautiful - Kelly is an absolute magician with makeup!

Absolutely amazing

I honestly couldn’t recommend Kelly enough! 💕 From the moment we met, she was so lovely, friendly and professional, and she made everyone feel completely at ease.

Kelly did the most amazing job with our wedding makeup. She listened to exactly what we wanted and made sure we all still felt like ourselves, just with that extra special wedding-day glow. ✨

Our makeup looked absolutely beautiful and lasted all day and night, even through the happy tears, hugs and dancing! 🥹💍

Kelly also made getting ready on the morning of our wedding such a lovely and relaxed experience. She was so calm, caring and attentive, and it was honestly a pleasure having her be part of such a special morning.

I would 100% recommend Kelly to any bride-to-be! 💕✨

Kelly is fab!

Kelly did my Bridal make up, one bridesmaid, a Mother of the Bride and Mother in Law make up on my wedding day! She was so friendly and attentive, and the make up itself was brilliant, everyone was so happy. Kelly listened when I wanted a slight change and to everyone’s wishes for their own style.
Would fully recommend her to all brides, the make up stays all day and I found my eyes really popped!

Perfect make up and all round great person

I really appreciated Kelly being around on the morning of the wedding. She was booked in to my make up but also stepped in to help with my hair when things got tense! Was happy to looo at pictures ahead of the big day and take my requests on board without question: I loved it and I’m not easily pleased!

Kelly is amazing, i could not recommend her service more from last minute hair change from a down to up do because of the weather to changing my make up as we went once she’d seen the dress. The word of the day from all my friends and family was stunning and that was down to the care and attention Kelly took to get everything perfect for my special day. Kelly, i can’t thank you enough. Xx

Kelly spent as much as i needed to be happy, both at the rehearsals (I had two because she wasn’t happy with my hair the first time)!
Kelly’s prices are so reasonable and affordable especially for the extremely personal touch.
I would definitely as Kelly back for any event i am attending. X

Absolutely brilliant!

Kelly was professional and extremely experienced. As mother of the bride she put me at ease and talked me through every stage (older skin so need all the help I can get!). My make up not only looked great (I had lots of compliments) but stayed in place all day. Even after a lot of dancing 🤣.

Best MUA ever!!

Kelly has always been so quick to respond and will fit me in last minute when I’ve needed it. I wouldn’t want anyone else to do my make up, Kelly gets it spot on every time! She adjusts the style perfectly for each occasion I’ve been to. I had so many compliments on my make up-even strangers came up to me on the street to say my makeup looked flawless! She is mega talented and also the loveliest person too :) the only sad part, is having to take off the make up at the end of the day! 10/10 I would recommend to anyone who wants the best make up artist!

Omg !! I looked 10 years younger

I got the Hollywood glow for mature skin and my make up looked amazing !! It was a red carpet event and I received so many compliments. Would not hesitate to recommend Kelly and I will be using her again for sure …

Absolutely loved our make up, highly recommend

We found Kelly on Google when searching for a make up artist in the Bromley area. She was great from the start, really quick to reply and all booked in. On the morning of the wedding Kelly came to the apartment we had booked, she put us at ease and didn’t leave until she was 100% happy with both of our make up’s, which we loved!
Thank you again - highly recommend

Head Makeup artist

Hey! I have been a makeup artist for over 20 years.

I believe Make up is there to enhance your features making you a more polished version of yourself.

I will always ask you for a photo of yourself to give me an idea of the level of makeup you like. If you don't usually wear makeup then we can have a look at some ideas. will make suggestions and apply it in stages. If you do love makeup then we go all the way !

I have a great team of Hairdressers i can also recommend.

I am very personable and love to chat, so please feel free to call me if you have some questions.

I look forward to hearing you !

Kelly
