Tina is the best!!!

As the title says, Tina is the absolute best! I have never felt more confident than I did on my wedding day. Tina is so good at her job and really listens to what you want. I was able to have a hair and makeup trial but my two bridesmaids couldn't. However, you wouldn't have been able to tell as they both looked absolutely stunning, in a matter of minutes Tina knows her clients and creates the perfect looks.

Not to mention she jumped straight into action when a guy came into our room accidentally (reception gave him the wrong room key)

Anyway, back to the hair and makeup.... thank you so much, I looked beautiful, my bridesmaids looked beautiful. Everything was perfect 💜

Tina is a joy!

I had the pleasure of having Tina do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She also did my bridesmaids hair and makeup, alongside my mum.
She was attentive, bubbly and brought an amazing calm to a potentially chaotic morning on the wedding day. All the hair and makeup looked perfect - we all looked natural but glowing! My hair in a low bridal bun looked even better than I dreamed and all stayed in place all day despite lots of dancing! I cannot recommend Tina and her services highly enough.

Wedding Make Up

I found Tina on Hitched & she has been absolutely wonderful. At my trial she did exactly what I asked for, based on a Pinterest photo I shared, which I loved but wanted to tweak for my wedding day. We talked through it & Tina was so helpful & worked with me - on my wedding day we achieved exactly what I was after, I felt so me but also really glam & special. I have very oily skin & yet my make up looked flawless all day & night in all different lighting! Tina was so kind, attentive with me & my Mum when she did her make up too. I would recommend her to anyone!

Lovely Tina is amazing

Tina is the kindest and loveliest soul! She made my trial feel so comfortable and was amazing with my mum who is in a wheelchair. She made me look amazing on the day and helped so much with getting me dressed and even last minute rescues on my bridesmaids that had their hair done elsewhere before arriving. Tina is your biggest champion and made me feel so confident and comfortable. She absolutely embraced my 50s vintage vision and was very skilled and professional in delivering that vision. Would absolutely book her again in a heartbeat.

Great make-up artist

Tina was quick to respond when I first asked for a quote and I was initially impressed by the reviews and images for her services.

Communication was good throughout and Tina did a fantastic job on my and my mother’s make-up. She listened to what we wanted (natural but not barely-there) and got it exactly right.

Tina has wonderful energy and a fantastic laugh - just what we needed when we were all feeling a bit nervous on wedding morning. 100% recommend - brides, you are in safe hands.

Fabulous service

I’ve used Tina as a make up artist prior to big events 3 times now. Tina is always most responsive, punctual and delightful. Her work is of the highest quality, using great products and offers really good tips to doing own make up.
Only make up artist I’ve used that asks about allergies, general health and washes hands lots!
Can highly recommend Tinas work and would never hesitate to use again.

Someone genuinely thought I’d had a facelift!

Being over 60 I didn’t want to have a full on make up look. I’ve had my makeup done before and ended up reverting back to my usual 10 minute routine! However, Tina took lots of time and taught me lots of tips and how to apply make up for the older face. She made the whole experience such fun and very informative. She used great quality products. So now I allow more time and effort then I went out that day and somebody thought I had had a facelift! Thank you Tina, you’ve saved me a fortune!

Lifesaver!

Tina stepped in to do my wedding makeup two weeks before after my original MUA had to sadly cancel. She was beyond helpful and accommodating and made the whole situation a lot less stressful.

On the day, Tina did makeup for myself, my sister and my mum and I think it’s fair to say that we all felt like princesses throughout! The makeup was absolutely flawless and stayed on throughout the day. She was friendly and professional, and I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much!

Event Make Up

Tina is the most incredible make up artist. She used Charlotte Tilbury on me and I felt amazing without feeling heavily made up. At every stage, Tina explained what she was doing by telling me what product she was using and how she was applying it. This is the second time Tina has done my make up and I will continue to use her in the future (although she does get booked up)
I have already purchased 6 or 7 Tilbury products including invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer, Airbrush flawless setting spray and Filmstar Bronze & Glow. Thank you T for helping me look and feel amazing xx

Deserves more than 5⭐️

Tina, what can I say but where have you been all my life? My original hair and makeup artist cancelled last minute (rude 🤣), but Tina swooped in like a glam superhero armed with brushes, sprays, primer, filler and paint alongside enough positivity to power the entire wedding.

As mother of the groom, my only goal was not to look like I’d wandered in from a night shift at the bingo hall. Tina delivered. She asked questions, looked at inspo pics, and somehow read my mind better than a tarot card reader. When I saw the finished look, I actually cried — partly because I looked fabulous, partly because I thought, “Well, now I know that this is the best I’ll ever look and It’s all downhill from here.”

She used the good stuff too — high-end products that didn’t budge an inch. I partied, I danced, I laughed, I cried a lot more (very happy tears!) and by the end of the night I still looked camera-ready. In fact, my hair and makeup lasted longer than my first marriage!

Tina isn’t just a hair and makeup artist — she’s a hype girl, therapist, miracle worker, and magician rolled into one. If you can book her, do it. If not… well, I’m sorry, because you’re honestly missing out. Thank you Tina - your number is now stored in my emergency contact list ♥️

Beautiful, professional Makeup at a reasonable price!

“I booked Tina for a wedding that I was attending and was so impressed with her professionalism and skill. She has such a warm and friendly personality, which instantly put me at ease, and she really listened to what I wanted. The finished look was flawless, lasted all day, and exceeded my expectations. Her pricing is very reasonable for the high standard of service provided. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, personable, and reliable makeup artist.” Thank you Tina xx

A ray of sunshine on your day

Tina is wonderful, she is not only a skilled MUA who uses fabulous products. She is also a ray of sunshine and will make you feel relaxed and beautiful, with compliments galore and her wonderful energy! I couldn’t have asked for a kinder presence on my wedding day. I felt gorgeous and my makeup lasted all evening. Tina is so generous, giving little product samples and even applying some powder to my mom and cousin (even though they weren’t having their make up done). 10/10 would recommend.

Lovely make up for our summer wedding

Tina provided a full professional service for hair and make up for bride and bridesmaids for our wedding this summer. Ages ranged from 20 - 58. Such a fun morning getting ready and we loved the results. Thank you Tina and would recommend.

Our very own Charlotte Tilbury!

When I decided I wanted a makeup artist to do my wedding makeup, there was only one person that came to mind… Tina! I have known of Tina for a few years and was so happy when I found out she also did bridal makeup! She was professional from the start, organising a trial at home a few months before the big day, where she took the time to really work out with me what I wanted & would work best. I booked for myself, 3 bridesmaids & mother of the bride, all for a very reasonable price which I could pay in 2 instalments before the day (very handy when you have so many things to pay!)
Tina arrived on the morning of my wedding bright & early with endless positive energy! (We all thought she was FABULOUS!) She worked her magic on all of us & we all loved our make up looks, plus they lasted ALL day!
I am so thankful for Tina being there on the day & would highly recommend her to anyone!
