Miracle worker!

How Stephanie managed to do 6 bridal party makeups plus my hair and makeup, I will never understand but I am incredibly grateful! Whilst we had an early start, none of that proved any issue for Stephanie and she was more than happy to accommodate, even starting at one location before moving to the venue. My hair and makeup held so well throughout the day even with the 29 degree heat! Stephanie made me feel like a princess and I will forever be grateful! It was also super useful having hair and makeup in one supplier! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Best MUA in Essex

Steph was such a joy to have doing our make up for my wedding - value for money, but also just a happy and lovely person who puts you at ease! I had a trial with one bridesmaid in July 2025, and my wedding was 16th November 2025. Steph knew what changes she wanted to make based on the trial, and I felt beautiful and confident on the day - which is not usual for me as someone who is self critical and self conscious! I was so nervous but she brought fun and laughter to the morning and made me and my girls look stunning!

I would 10/10 recommend Steph for your hair and make up needs, she is super talented, lovely and will make you feel like an absolute superstar!

Lovely artist

Both hair and make up booked with Stephanie. Had a great trial and gave time to make tweaks for on the day. Stephanie is lovely and chatty. My hair looked great but also stayed in place all day. Makeup withstood some tears. Tattoo cover up stayed all day. Definitely recommend.

So pleased with all our looks!!

Stephanie was SUCH a wonderful person to work with! As she's locally recommended a lot I knew she must be good at what she does so ended up booking her for my wedding day, including all 5 bridesmaids and my mum. We had a makeup trial where I showed her several of her popular soft glam looks from Instagram. The makeup looked so lovely although I realised it was just a bit too much for me (you don't know till you try!) so we discussed going more natural on the day and adding more if needed but the result was spot on and I still totally felt like myself! The bridesmaids and mum also looked incredible - none of us are heavy makeup wearers so we all still looked and felt natural but in the best way so we were all really pleased!

Stephanie thank you so much again for your lovely service, its been a pleasure working with you and having you as part of the team and I loved every minute! Will definitely book again should I need an MUA in the future! 🤍

Thank you!

I am so grateful to Stephanie and Libby for the brilliant hair and makeup they did for my wedding day on 8th June. As someone who doesn’t usually wear any makeup, I was quite nervous about not looking/feeling like myself but Stephanie worked with me at my makeup trial to find the style that made me feel special and comfortable.

On the day of the wedding, they brought a wonderful energy and calmness to the whole morning, offering all the reassurance and support myself and the bridesmaids needed, and making sure everyone felt great. They kindly also found time to help with my mum’s hair which was really appreciated.

Throughout the process, Stephanie was a brilliant makeup artist, but also a welcome cheerleader for all of us, the dress, the flowers and the last minute cake decorating! She was endlessly professional, quick to respond and happy to share her knowledge. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any bride! Thank you Stephanie and Libby for making the morning prep so great, and making me feel so special! Millie xxx

Beautiful wedding hair & makeup

Steph & her crew did such a great job with both hair & makeup at our wedding for myself & my bridesmaids. The trial beforehand is worth it to help decide what works for you. Her prices are very competitive too. We had a tight window to get everyone ready but Steph & the team were super organised and managed to get everyone done so quickly and the results were great 🤩

Thank you Stephanie!

Thank to so much to you for everything. From the trial to the wedding day, you have been amazing! Myself and the bridesmaid felt so beautiful and we adored our make up. You’ve made everything so smooth and we felt so at ease with you on the wedding day. The make up lasted all day and did not feel heavy at all! Thank you again.

Beautiful hair and makeup

Stephanie came to our venue and prepared my hair and makeup, as well as my chief bridesmaids hair and makeup and my younger bridesmaid and flower girls. Everyone looked amazing and the makeup lasted all day.
