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!

A true professional




I couldn't be happier with Lisa's incredible work! She did my party makeup in the morning, and it stayed flawless all day and night without a single touch-up. Lisa is a true professional, and I can't recommend her enough!

Fantastic!

Oh Lisa! You were a pleasure from start to finish and the whole process couldn't have been better! Straight away we got on and you nailed my look from the first moment. The preview was brilliant and the wedding day was even better. My makeup stuck all day and even took time to wash off, exactly what I wanted for my day and I felt like a million dollars. Thank you so soo much.

Simply the best!

Lisa is very knowledgeable of her craft, uses top quality products and did such an amazing job…made me feel very special! Above all she is a genuine gem of a person to be around….kept me calm, relaxed and happy throughout the whole process, even taking time to speak to my mum who was on video-call from overseas!
Loved the overall experience and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! 🥰

So thankful I have found Lisa !

I am so grateful I have found the wonderful Lisa . My son is getting married next year so I wanted to have my makeup professionally done. Lisa has years of experience and listens to what you want to achieve . Her kit is packed full of high end products and every colour , shade you can think of . I have already used Lisa twice already , once for a natural look and once for more of a glam evening look , I was super happy with both looks .if I was a bride I wouldn’t think twice about using Lisa she is the full package ! Can’t wait until my sons wedding as I am using Lisa again but not only for me for my friends aswell . Lisa is deffo part of my glam squad forever now .

Photo shoot ready

Lisa made me feel at ease and made sure that the natural make up I requested highlighted my best features, complemented my colouring and lasted all day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for upcoming events, so I feel at my absolute best

Fantastic friendly service!

Lisa was amazing!
She knew exactly what she was doing, her kit was fantastic, she knew where to position me with natural light.
Lisa listened to my requests on how I wanted my makeup. The makeup lasted all day without any top up needed and I had so many compliments. It felt light on my face and not 'caked' on.
Can't wait to use Lisa again for my next event!
Highly recommend, definitely Worth these stars and so many more.

Friendly, professional and artistic

I was struggling to find a professional MUA for a very special family event, and I’m so happy I found Lisa Critchley. Lisa has great communication and instantly put me at ease. She arrived on time and after a small amount of polite conversation I feel Lisa was able to gauge what was expected and the whole experience just flowed. Lisa explained which products she was using and each time gave expert advise on why she liked it and how best each product should be used. I was constantly reassured and was really made to feel special. My teenage daughter also had her make up done which was completed perfectly for her young face, Lisa’s relaxed and friendly manner filled my daughter with confidence, she was simply beaming at the ‘big reveal’. I cannot recommend Lisa Critchley enough and will definitely be using her again.

Lisa was amazing from my trial to doing mine and my mum’s make up on my wedding day!
Couldn’t have asked for a more lovely and talented person to help on my wedding day!
My make up was flawless from start to finish and on one of the most hottest days of the year ❤️
