Fantastic Make up

Lisa is absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted and, during the trial, offered some fantastic suggestions while making sure I was completely happy with the results.

I wanted a natural look that would still last throughout the day, and I couldn’t have been happier with my makeup. Lisa’s calm, relaxed manner made getting ready for the wedding such an enjoyable and stress-free experience.

Bridal Makeup 12.20

Lisa was so amazing to work with. I had never had my makeup professionally done before so during the trial she walked me through step by step explaining all of the products. She made us feel very calm and welcome. She listened to my wants and ideas making my dream makeup look come to life. She took a lot of time making sure we were all happy with our makeup and didn’t want any changes. Lisa is a lovely person and very talented- I couldn’t recommend her more!

Amazing Glowy & Natural Make Up ✨

Lisa is so warm and friendly. Super easy to communicate with, & we had a great time getting ready with her. A really reasonable price for the service. I would not hesitate in recommending Lisa if you are looking for natural, glowy, flawless makeup and a relaxed experience when getting ready.
And your makeup will last all day & night!!

Amazing Make Up Artist

What can I say, Lisa was absolutely amazing.

Lisa done my make up for my wedding and I can honestly say it was perfect.

I had a trial before the big day. Lisa listened and took on board on the kind of make up I had in mind. I made no changes as I loved the make up as soon as I saw myself.

On the day Lisa was so lovely, kind and very supportive. She made me feel so beautiful and everyone complimented on my make up.

Lisa also done make up for one of my Bridesmaid and also my Mum. They both looked stunning and beautiful on day.

I would give Lisa 10/10 and would recommend her to anyone that wants their Make Up done. Thank you so much Lisa xx

What a fabulous Mother Daughter duo!

Lisa and Tia were the Makeup Artists for my Wedding a few weeks ago, and they did such a great job.

Lisa was so down to earth and welcoming during my makeup trial at her home and took great care in listening to what I wanted.

On the day of my Wedding, they were both super organised, professional, followed hygiene standards and efficient with my makeup and my Bridal party’s makeup, and we all loved our finished looks.

I 100% felt like a princess and will be forever grateful for their input, help and kindness.

Lisa is the most amazing MUA in the business

I can’t thank Lisa enough for making me look and feel absolutely incredible on my wedding day. Her makeup skills are truly amazing – she knew exactly how to enhance my features while keeping everything natural and flawless. Beyond her talent, Lisa has such a calming presence, which was such a blessing when the nerves were high. She made the whole experience so enjoyable and put me completely at ease. I’m so grateful to have had her there on such a special day and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist who is both highly skilled and wonderfully supportive. Zoie x

Skilled, warm and accommodating!

Lisa was an absolute star! She is so personable and likeable; I was comfortable with her immediately.
We tried one look in my trial and I later decided to go with a different look. Lisa was so easy-going and offered me another trial. When I said I trusted her and we could just try the new look on the wedding day, she was happy to accommodate me.
My final looks, on both the trial and my wedding day, were gorgeous and long-lasting. Lisa paid attention to every detail and listened to me at every stage.
I cannot recommend Lisa enough!

Perfect day

I'm the mother of the groom, so not expecting to look too showy, but Lisa did a great job. I usually don't wear makeup and wanted a natural look. Lisa was really attentive, used lovely products which felt great, and was very skillful. I was delighted with the results, and have no hesitation in recommending her wholeheartedly.

Fantastic MUA

I booked Lisa for a family wedding for myself and my mum, and we were both so pleased with our makeup. It stayed flawless all day! Lisa was so friendly and approachable, answering all our questions in the lead-up, which really put us at ease. She is professional and made us feel so calm on the morning of the wedding, I would recommend her to anyone looking to book a makeup artist.

Lisa is a truly incredible makeup artist

Lisa did makeup for myself and my bridal party. She was able to tailor each look for each person, she was able to do full glam and soft glam, younger skin and older skin and make everyone just look like enhanced versions of themselves. Everyone looked truly beautiful. Lisa herself is a true gem, she’s a reliable, sweet, INSANELY talented make up artist and I’m so grateful I found her. I will 100% use her in the future for any event, as would my whole bridal party!

Absolutely perfect!

Lisa was absolutely amazing for my Christmas wedding! I had a trial beforehand to get the right look in advance. Communication was fantastic with her prior to the wedding and she kept me in the loop about her planned timings for me and the girls. My make up was perfect, and my bridesmaids absolutely adored the soft glam look. Not to mention that Lisa herself is so genuinely lovely and made me feel so calm the morning of. It was great to have a local MUA there. I cannot thank her enough!

Amazing from start to finish!

Wonderful experience start to finish Lisa was great and I looked fantastic on the day. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup usually I had no idea what I needed. Lisa knew what I needed and I cannot thank her enough.

Lisa is the best make-up artist!

I cannot recommend Lisa enough! She arrived at 6 am, which is no small feat in London, and immediately made me feel at ease. Not only did she create the most spectacular wedding makeup that exceeded all my expectations, but she also went above and beyond by offering beautiful advice about marriage, life, and how to relax and enjoy the day. Her warm, calming presence made all the difference on my special day, and I felt absolutely radiant. I’m so grateful for her talent, professionalism, and kind support. Truly an amazing artist and a wonderful person!
