Minimalistic wedding makeup. Perfection

Sophie is so talented in what she does. I am not a makeup wearer, I have owned the same mascara for 20+ years. I made Sophie aware I don’t wear makeup. I don’t want it thick and OTT. Sophie did an amazing job, We all looked amazing. Sophie made notes of everything we liked so on the day she knew exactly what we was all having. The makeup lasted so well and looked flawless. Thankyou so much.

Book her immediately!

We booked Sophie for Hair and Make up for TWO brides and a full team of unruly bridesmaids and boy she pulled it off damn well with a little help from her lovely assistant.
As an alternative/ gothic same sex couple who have never really donned a full face of make up we were particularly anxious for this part of the day to be honest BUT, we both ended up obsessed with how much we loved our make up and hair done by Sophie.
We had an idea of what we wanted but as people who don’t use a lot of make up we had no idea how to communicate our style and wants to a professional artist. Was that a problem for Sophie? Absolutely not, its like she read our actual minds and did exactly what we thought we wanted but even better. She is an extremely talented artist.
She made us both feel at ease and looked after us from beginning to end. It was just like hanging out with a friend and we were both so thankful for that, I don’t know what we would have done without her! All our guests were paying us compliments on our make up and hair all day long and more importantly Sophie made us feel amazing for our big day.
Sophie, we can’t thank you enough and I’d recommend you to absolutely everyone, keep smashing it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
