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.

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.

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!

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!

A brilliant MUA

I had the absolute pleasure of having Kelly as my make up artist for my wedding, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She did the make up for me, my two bridesmaids any my mum and we were all thrilled with the results. From the moment she arrived she bought a calm friendly energy that made the whole experience more enjoyable . What truly stood out was how she really listened to what I wanted, and she nailed it. I felt so beautiful and confident all day. Thank you so much Kelly for making me feel so special on an important day.

Bridal Party Make Up

Kelly was so lovely to work with! We arranged a trial where I showed her roughly what I wanted and she talked me through each stage/ options making me very comfortable.

On the day she arrived on time and finished mine and my 4 bridesmaids make up in good time. There were no issues and she was lovely to have around the morning of the wedding.

Would highly recommend.

Kelly is amazing!!

Kelly recently did my make up for my wedding day, and it was absolutely perfect!
She is such a lovely lady, and she makes you feel so relaxed! I had so many compliments about my make up, and it lasted so well.
I thoroughly enjoyed being in Kelly's company at both the make up trail and on the big day. Thank you Kelly - I'm so glad I chose you! :) xx

Wonderful experience!

I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with Kelly as my wedding make-up artist. She truly made my vision come to life with absolutely beautiful make-up that was exactly what I had hoped for. From the very beginning, Kelly listened carefully to my ideas and preferences, ensuring I felt comfortable and confident with the look we had chosen together. Kelly’s high degree of professionalism was evident from start to finish, and she went above and beyond on the day itself. When things didn’t go according to plan, she was right there, lending a hand wherever needed and helping keep everything on track with such calm and grace. I felt so supported, and her extra efforts truly made a difference. I couldn’t recommend Kelly more highly to any bride looking for a talented, dedicated, and genuinely caring make-up artist. She helped make my day unforgettable!

Dreamy wedding makeup

Kelly is exceptional. She is so friendly and warm, it is a joy to have your makeup done by her. She did my bridal makeup as well as my Mum, mother-in-law and maid of honour. We all looked and felt a million dollars. I have used Kelly for occasion makeup before and I wouldn't want to use anyone else!

The biggest thanks!

Kelly was truly great to have do my bridal make up and for my 3 bridesmaids. She was punctual, friendly, listened to what I wanted and made some great suggestions that meant I was totally at ease with her and she did such a great job!
I did a make up trial which was really worth it to get a feel for what I wanted and really enhanced my whole experience in this process as I was quite nervous of wearing make up overall as not really something I do often. Thank you so much Kelly
