The best experience for my big day!

Leanne went above and beyond on my wedding day to make me feel comfortable, ensuring that mine and my mum’s makeup was exactly how we wanted it and that it lasted all day.
For someone who isn’t very confident, especially when it comes to wearing makeup, Leanne made sure that she talked through what she was doing and checked in to make sure I was happy with the outcome multiple times.
Thank you so much for making me feel so special and beautiful on my wedding day. Cannot wait to see you again next year for the big wedding ❤️

Wonderful lady, fantastic makeup!

Leanne is so friendly, she has a calming presence about her that put me at ease right away. She’s very professional, knows everything there is to know about skincare and makeup, she applies it beautifully and exactly how you ask with nothing missed. Not to mention I cried a LOT and danced a LOT on my wedding day and it still looked perfect when I got home early hours of the next morning! look no further than Leanne for your wedding makeup, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Amazing makeup artist

Cant recommend Leanne enough. She is such a lovely lady and the make up she does is so beautiful and natural. She made up my daughter and her bridesmaids and myself and as most of us are not keen on wearing a lot of make-up to have such natural results was great for us. Also lasted all night..thank you so much Leanne ..fantastic job x

Thank you so much!

Leanne was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! She did my bridal makeup, my bridesmaids’, my mum’s, and even gave our flower girl a little sparkle—which she absolutely loved and proudly showed off to everyone!
I’m definitely not a makeup expert, but Leanne explained everything so clearly and made me feel completely at ease. She created a look that made me feel like a princess while still looking like myself, which was exactly what I wanted.
We all received compliments all day long, and I’m so grateful for her talent, calm energy, and kindness.
Thank you so much, Leanne, for helping us all feel beautiful and confident on such a special day!

We felt so beautiful ❤️

I loved Leanne's work since I first saw it on Instagram - all her brides and clients look so glowy and natural or neutral, which is exactly what I wanted for my day. Leanne takes into account your skin type and make up preferences, which is such a lovely, key thing to have, and you know you are getting make up that will look good, last and will be to your preference. My bridal party all looked amazing and loved their looks that lasted all day. Leanne is such a calm and lovely person, which helped ensure that the morning was as relaxing as possible. Thank you Leanne!

Stunning Wedding Make-up

This is the third time that Leanne's done my make-up because she is incredible at her job and so lovely!!

The first time I met Leanne was at my sister's wedding in 2019. She did such an incredible job that I hired her to do my make-up for my 30th birthday in 2020.
Then this year, it was my turn to get married, therefore it was an absolute no-brainer to ask Leanne to do mine and my bridal party's make-up.

Leanne is professional, kind and incredibly helpful. She is also very knowledgeable about make-up and skin care products, happy to offer advice and recommend products.
I had a wonderful make-up trial and in the build up to my wedding, Leanne would reply to my questions quickly and offering lots of support.
On the morning of the wedding she was on time, efficient and mine and my bridesmaid's make up was absolutely perfect.
I couldn't have asked for a better service and will be using Leanne again in future, I'm sure!!!

Thank you Leanne for all your help and for our stunning make-up; as well as being part of our wedding morning!!

Fantastic Bridal Make Up

I'm a person who doesn't where make up but I found my myself going for a natural look for my wedding day. Leanne was really easy to talk to, made me feel relaxed while doing my makeup and really
understand what look I was going for while making sure I was happy with how I looked during the process. I can't recommend Leanne enough. Thank you so much 😊

The best makeup artist!!

I cannot thank Leanne enough, she is just amazing at what she does. From our very first conversation, to my trial and then our wedding day, she was faultless. I had three bridesmaids and two mums plus myself on our wedding day and she was just fantastic, we were ahead of schedule before even reaching the venue which made the whole more relaxing and stress free for us all. She made me feel like a million dollars, please can you do my makeup for me everyday 😂

Thank you again Leanne!!

Amazing Leanne!

Leanne exceeded my expectations- I was so impressed by her professionalism and expertise. I have very sensitive skin and requested to use some of my own products at the last minute - this was no issue and I was thrilled with my wedding makeup and that of our party! I would have no hesitation in recommending her!

Completely perfect.

Leanne was wonderful from start to finish. She was very approachable and understanding about what look I wanted to achieve for my wedding. She was able to advise me on skincare to improve my skin ready for my wedding and generally be there at any point if I had a query about anything.

On the day, Leanne turned up well on time and was ready to go with everything we’d discussed prepared. Leanne worked alongside my hairdresser (Peri Orrin) and together they made a fantastic team. Leanne was professional and a calming influence to myself and my two bridesmaids. We were all very happy with our make up on the day. Personal preferences and skincare issues were listened to, and accommodated. Leanne took the time to understand each of us and what made us feel comfortable and beautiful. Leanne went above and beyond, alongside my hairdresser, Peri assisting in the last minute panic when my necklace I bought for the day became tangled. Sorting it out between them whilst I finished getting dressed, which I appreciated so much. Additionally, on the day Leanne, nipped over from where was she had been preparing myself & my bridesmaids to where my husband to be was getting ready with his groomsmen to help with a poorly timed arrival of a stye on his eye. Leanne applied some very subtle make up to reduce the redness so he too looked incredible on the day.
We are both so thankful and the pictures turned out beautifully. Leanne needn’t have helped us in this way, but we really appreciate that she did. Absolutely remarkable, I cannot sing her praises enough.

Still great the next day!

Leanne was absolutely fantastic to work with. From the moment we connected, she was super responsive, really helpful and gave some good advice.

As someone who doesn't often wear a lot of makeup, I was a bit nervous but at my makeup trial I felt reassured I was in good hands. Leanne took the time to understand not only the style I was looking for, but my skin, products I already used and recommended products for me as well.

Leanne's friendly and supportive nature continued on the big day with all my bridesmaids, and both mum's saying how fantastic their makeup was. One in particular still looked flawless the next day! She took great care and attention of all of us and I can't thank her enough for being a part of my big day.

Amazingly flawless

Leanne is completely amazing! My original hair and make up artist went into early labour a week before the wedding. But quite honestly I wished I'd found Leanne first. Not only was she able to step in last minute she made me feel so special. Being a bigger lady I've always been a bit self-conscious and was really nervous that being in my 50's as well I was worried about looking too old and too much make up for walking down the isle! Leanne and I had a chat about the look I wanted over a virtual video call as we were so short on time to meet in person and no time for a trial. I was able to go through what I did and didn't like from my original trial with my original artist that she had a good idea on what I liked. I had a split venue for getting ready which meant Leanne came to my parents first to do one of my bridesmaids first before moving across to Apton Hall to do my make up and my other bridesmaid. Having checked my complection and testing what bases she needed and confirming my colour palette she went to work on making me look flawless. I had so many compliments I lost count. With all credit to Leanne, one of my sister's (a bridesmaid) never ventured much into make up as she has such sensitive skin but gave her so much confidence that both sisters wanted go shopping afterwards and purchase the make up list she gave us on what she used. Having since had a master class with Leanne as well, not only did it hone my make skills further she gave all of us the confidence and pride on how look. Wedding photos looked amazing and can not thank her enough.

Leanne Perilly
Owner and Make up Artist

I have been a professional Make up Artist for 20 years since completing my training at the London School of Beauty & Make up in March 2005 and Greasepaint Academy in May 2005.

I worked alongside Estee Lauder brand for a couple of years to gain experience in the industry and gaining experience in Wedding Make up.

My love for make up started at the age of 13 when my Mum introduced a comprehensive skincare routine for me and I started to work in a small independent Make up store. I showed customers how to use a range of make up brands from drug store to premium products.

Making you feel YOUR most beautiful version of yourself and giving you the confidence to live your life and special moments to the full is what inspires me.

I'm an avid tennis player in my spare time and am crazy about my gorgeous Cockerpoo dog Norman!
